Dianne Wiest

Both her Oscar-winning performances were directed by Woody Allen. This makes her one of four actors to win two Oscars under the same person's direction. The other three are: Walter Brennan for Nimm, was du kriegen kannst (1936) and In die Falle gelockt (1940) (both directed by William Wyler), Jack Nicholson for Zeit der Zärtlichkeit (1983) and Besser geht's nicht (1997) (both directed by James L. Brooks) and Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Django Unchained (2012) (both directed by Quentin Tarantino).

[speaking in 1987] All I've done since is three days on Die grellen Lichter der Großstadt (1988) as Michael J. Fox's mother. That's what an Oscar does for you.
