Who is the first actor/actress to win all five major acting awards in a single year for the same role?

Sarah Catharine Paulson is an American actress. She is the recipient of several accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. In 2017, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2011, Paulson began starring in the FX anthology series American Horror Story, playing different characters in many of the show's 10 seasons.

Paulson has accumulated nominations for seven Primetime Emmy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, receiving one of each for her role in the limited series The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story. She was also nominated for her work on other television programs, such as the comedy-drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, the political drama film Game Change, and the horror anthology series American Horror Story. For her performance in the Academy Award-winning period drama film 12 Years a Slave, she was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

She did Not win the Academy Award - poorly worded question

Here, the options with the possible exception of Reese Witherspoon don't appear in any way to address the question asked. Note that for some actors, winning an Academy Award just isn’t enough. For overachievers, they become a part of a special elite. They manage to win the "5 top major acting awards for a performance" (The Big 5): They win an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, a BAFTA, and a Critic’s Choice Award. As of 2021, only a handful have achieved such a sweep; Sarah Paulson, Paul Rudd, and Matthew McConaughey aren't in the group. The first or one of the first individuals to win The Big 5 (5 top major acting awards) was Renée Zellweger for her role in "Cold Mountain" (2004). In her 2005 role in the James Mangold's "Walk the Line", Reese Witherspoon also won The Big 5.

I am not familiar with WhitWhit, but being yet another clone, I knew it was a picture of the subject that was presented. It obviously was not Reese Witherspoon or one of the two guys listed, so it must have been Sarah Paulson. I have a problem with this question. Upon reading the article, under "awards and nominations" I count two awards among a few nominations. What were the five awards and what was the year? I note that she was one of the "100 Most influential people in the world" for Time magazine? How so?
