Bodil / Best Actress

Winner of the Danish film award Bodil in the category Best Actress ( Bedste kvindelige hovedrolle ). The Association of Danish Film Critics and Screenwriters (Danish Filmmedarbejderforeningen ) has been presenting its awards to the best film productions and filmmakers at a gala in Copenhagen at the end of February and beginning of March every year since 1948 .

The most successful in this category was Trine Dyrholm (1991, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2017) with five wins, followed by colleagues Tove Maës (1954, 1971 and 1983) and Ghita Nørby (1976, 1990 and 1992), respectively could triumph three times. With another win in the Best Supporting Actress category , Dyrholm is also the most honored actress ahead of Nørby (also a win in the Best Supporting Actress category ). The only non-Scandinavian actresses were able to join the list of winners in 1997, later Oscar- nominated British Emily Watson ( Breaking the Waves ) and in 2010 and 2014 the French Charlotte Gainsbourg ( Antichrist , Nymphomaniac ).
