LIVE POLL: Favorite Oscar-Nominated Sovereign Character?

This poll suggestion has been spun off from a dual poll suggestion thread @https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdb-poll/1-live-poll-1-suggestion-favorite-royal-or-noble-oscarnominated-performance/5f4a7bc48815453dbae67a02?/=

Recent Ruling Oscar-Nominated Performances

including 2023 Oscar-Nominated Queen Ramonda from Black Panther: Wankanda Forever (2022) acting as Regent of Wala new in this film.

Possible Oscar-Nominated Ruling Honorable Mentions

I removed princes and princess from the list.

I added the term real-life, fictional or alleged to the notes to account for Oscar-nominated sovereigns that may be royal claimants to the throne or be a character with an Anastasia-like plot twist. I can't think of any previous Oscar nominees that would fall into either category, but more to anticipate a future Oscar-nominated character scenario.

Any more suggestions?

Correction:

received a Best Supporting Actress nomination

In reviewing all the options, I am consciously choosing to expand the sovereign scope of this poll to include rulers and co-rulers for the following reasons: 1) the poll is as much about Oscar performances, as it is about a named position held; 2) I am choosing not to endorse a system of ruling which for millennias considered women the choice of last resort; 3) the five consorts listed represent some of the biggest stars of their eras and some of the greatest actors, male or female to ever perform; 4) their real-life consort counterparts wielded incredible power (often more than their husbands) either directly throughout their husband's reign, or through their issues that succeeded them on the throne; 5) lastly they all had historical impacts for the betterment or detriment of the country or the world.

• Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter as Eleanor of Aquitaine
• Helena Bonham Carter in The King's Speech as Elizabeth  Marguerite Bowes-Lyon
• Helen Mirren in The Madness of King George as Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
• Bette Davis in Juarez as Carlota, aka Charlotte of Belgium
• Norma Shearer in Marie Antoinette as Marie Antoinette

Interesting that Elizabeth Taylor got no nomination for Cleopatra.

Tough one, but Robert Shaw over Kenneth Branagh
