Only two women have hosted the Academy Awards solo. Whoopi Goldberg did it three times at the Oscars for 1995, 1998 and 2001. Ellen DeGeneres hosted the awards for 2006.

Through the years, women co-hosts for the awards ceremony were: Thelma Ritter (the 1954 Oscars), Claudette Colbert (1955), Celeste Holm (1956), Rosalind Russell (1957), Helen Hayes (1971), Carol Burnett (1972), Diana Ross (1973), Shirley MacLaine (1974), Goldie Hawn (1975 and 1986), Ellen Burstyn (1976), Jane Fonda (1976 and 1985), and Liza Minnelli (1982).

Anne Hathaway will co-host the awards show for the 2010 Oscars with James Franco on February 27, 2011.

Four. The only woman ever to win the Oscar for Best Director was Kathryn Bigelow, who won for helming "The Hurt Locker." Three other women previously received nominations for Best Director -- Lina Wertmuller for "Seven Beauties" (1976); Jane Campion for "The Piano" (1993); and Sofia Coppola for "Lost in Translation" (2003).
