(If I like Judy, I'm guessing that'll lift Renee to #2 at least.)
1. Swank
'99: Lead Actress - Boys Don't Cry (WIN)
'06: Supporting Actress - The Black Dahlia
2. Winger
'83: Lead Actress - Terms of Endearment
'93: Lead Actress - Shadowlands
3. Zellweger
'96: Supporting Actress - Jerry Maguire
'02: Lead Actress - Chicago
4. Bening
'90: Lead Actress - The Grifters

I think Winger has an incredible talent and would have enjoyed a much better career if it wasn't for her difficult character.
It's close between the three others for me. Bening has the most good performances, but also some weaker ones, Swank has the highest height (Boys don't Cry), but also the lowest lows and Zellweger is the most consistent.

Well Debra Winger like I always say was the Jennifer Lawrence of her day - a natural talent with no training who was great in natural roles but when she had to apply any acting technique was out of her depth. What's that expression " good actors are made, great actors are born" well she's that ......but only in some things - you need technique, you can get it later somewhat but you can't make up for lost time. Winger's career went down when she had to act in less natural fitting roles and she couldn't do it because she thought training would "ruin" her.  Swank is the equivalent of Jennifer Hudson who will win this year - they are jackpot winners really......Zellwegger is a fine actress but she's not an equal of Bening who people just don't like for some reason but she has talent and technique in combination more than any of these 4.......even if she doesn't have that natural talent/spark Winger had........ and never developed. Bening

I feel I need to see more of Winger's work, but I'll rank her #1 here because the other three annoy me to certain degrees.
1. Winger
2. Bening - Admittedly a lot less annoying than Zellweger and definitely Swank. I generally like her and hope that she does finally win an Oscar, but I really didn't like her in American Beauty and was so happy that she lost, and some of her choices leave me puzzled.
3. Zellweger - I like her, but unfortunately I also dislike that for me she won two Oscars for the wrong films. I'm still salty about the whole Judy thing even though part of me gets it, but with this year being so up in the air still, it's difficult at least for me, to let last year's awards go.
4. Swank - She's great in her very narrow niche, but outside of that she's terrible so definitely at the bottom for me.
