Discontinued award presented by the Jussi Awards From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jussi Award for Best Actress was an award presented annually at the Jussi Awards, the premier film industry event in Finland, between 1944 and 2022.[1][2] In the spring of 2022, Filmiaura's board introduced the gender-neutral Jussi Award for Best Leading Performance, which started from the 76th Jussi Awards in 2023.[2][3] The 1st Jussi Awards ceremony was held in 1944, with Ansa Ikonen winning the first Jussi Award for Best Actress for her performance in Vaivaisukon morsian,[4] and Seidi Haarla was the last winner in Compartment No. 6 at the 75th Jussi Awards in 2022.
