The Citra Award for Best Actress (Indonesian: Piala Citra untuk Pemeran Wanita Utama) is an award given at the Indonesian Film Festival (FFI) to Indonesian actresses for their achievements in leading roles. The Citra Awards, described by Screen International as "Indonesia's equivalent to the Oscars",[1] are the country's most prestigious film awards[2] and are intended to recognize achievements in films as well as to draw public interest to the film industry.[3]
Laura Basuki is the most recent winner for her performance in Susi Susanti: Love All at the 2020 ceremony, marking her second win to date in the category.
The Citra Awards, then known as the Indonesian Film Festival Awards, were first given in 1955 to two winners without a nomination process: Dhalia (Lewat Djam Malam) and Fifi Young (Tarmina). The two-way tie, also found in the Best Film and Best Actor categories, was controversial as film critics considered Lewat Djam Malam the superior film, leading to allegations that Djamaluddin Malik had bought Tarmina's prize.[4] Succeeding festivals were held in 1960 and 1967 and annually since 1973.[5]
There were no Citra Awards given between 1993 and 2003 due to sharp decline in domestic film production. It was reinstated as an annual event in 2004 after receiving funds from the Indonesian government.[1][6]
Christine Hakim is the most decorated actress with six awards out of ten nominations in this category. She has also received three additional awards out of four nominations in the Best Supporting Actress category, bringing her overall total to nine awards out of fourteen nominations.[7]Meriam Bellina has won twice out of six nominations, whereas Lydia Kandou and won two of their five nominations each. Atiqah Hasiholan has received the most nominations without winning any with four, followed by Jajang C. Noer, Nurul Arifin, Paramitha Rusady, and with three nominations without any wins. However, Noer has two wins as a supporting actress for Mer's Lips in 1992 and Cinta Tapi Beda in 2013.
Two actresses from the same film have been nominated for Best Actress in the same year: Pasir Berbisik and in 2001, Virgin in 2005, as well as Mengejar Mas-Mas in 2007. Of these, only (Mengejar Mas-Mas) managed to win.
