From 2003 to 2014, the title of Best Actress (视后) was given to the winner who won both the Golden Eagle Award's Audience's Choice and the festival's Performing Arts awards. The top honour is voted in by a panel of judges, the China Television Artists Association and the national audience. This category was absent during 2000–2002. Since 2020, the award has been split from Audience's Choice for Actress, and is voted in by a panel of judges and the CTAA.
