Frances McDormand caps win streak with best-actress Oscar
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Frances McDormand capped an awards season of accolades with the biggest one of all: an Oscar for best actress.
After sweeping trophies at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Independent Spirit and BAFTA ceremonies, McDormand won for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."
She played Mildred Hayes, a hardened woman seeking justice for her daughter's murder in the crime drama.
McDormand rarely does anything A-list actresses are known to do: wear designer gowns, walk red carpets or politic during awards season. Yet she collected all the biggest trophies.
"I don't do everything, as you know," she said backstage. "I don't show up all the time. I only show up when I can and when I want to.
