British actress Helen Mirren became a member of Oscars royalty on Sunday, winning the best actress statuette for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen."
In her first Academy Award-winning turn, Mirren, 61, depicts Queen Elizabeth II as a resolute sovereign, bound by tradition and protocol, who wrestles with public pressure to grieve alongside her nation after Princess Diana's death.
Long considered the favorite to take home the coveted Oscars statuette, Mirren fought off stiff competition from Penelope Cruz ("Volver"), Meryl Streep ("The Devil Wears Prada") and fellow Britons Judi Dench ("Notes on a Scandal") and Kate Winslet ("Little Children").
The win completed a clean sweep for Mirren this awards season, after the role garnered her a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.
