MacDowell was heard as the voice of ‘Etta the Hen' in Paramount's animated movie Barnyard, was seen in the feature Beauty Shop with Queen Latifah, and co-starred along with Rosie O'Donnell in the CBS telepic, Riding the Bus with My Sister, directed by Anjelica Huston. She also earned praise for her performance in the Emmy-nominated, HBO original film Dinner with Friends, with USA Today saying the film was "blessed by an on-the-mark performance by MacDowell.
Additional dramatic performances include The End of Violence," directed by Wim Wenders, which was selected to screen at the opening of the 50th Anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival; Robert Altman's The Player and Short Cuts, for which the cast earned a special Golden Globe Award for Best Ensemble; Unstrung Heroes, directed by Diane Keaton and the ever-popular St. Elmo's Fire.
MacDowell earned the worldwide title of #1 female box-office draw with her performances in the smash hit romantic comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination, and the western Bad Girls with Drew Barrymore.

The film won the Palme d'or at Cannes and garnered MacDowell the Independent Spirit Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Actress as well as her first Golden Globe nomination. Additionally, she has been presented with the coveted Cesar D'Honneur for her body of work, the Golden Kamera Award from Germany's Horzu Publications and the Taormina Arte Award for Cinematic Excellence.
