STEVE CARELL Rooster  (HBO) Steve Carell has won for Lead Actor in a Drama Series (for The Morning Show in 2020), Lead Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series (for The Patient in 2023) and now for Rooster this year. Watch out if he does a Drama in 2029! I wasn't completely enamored with Rooster but it's a show I wouldn't have liked at all if it wasn't for Carell. Carell has a mixed track record w...

ETHAN HAWKE The Lowdown (FX) It's hard to not give this award to Noah Wyle for a second year in a row but Ethan Hawke completely captivated me in The Lowdown . It was an outrageous performance that was somehow grounded at the same time. Despite it being a new show, Hawke gave the character of Lee Raybon such a rich personality that I felt like I had been watching this character...

JAMIE BELL Half Man (HBO) Half Man was a real grim watch. It didn't work for me on all levels but the performances of the leads was very powerful. None more-so than Jamie Bell, who was such an interesting character. On first glance, he seems like the far more sympathetic character but as you get to know his character better, you see how flawed he is and how much he is to blame for the doo...

JESSICA WILLIAMS Shrinking (Apple TV) Jessica Williams has been a huge boon to Shrinking since the beginning but she leveled up in the third season with her best season yet. She had some great comedic moments as always but also had the scene of the year with her monologue and rage towards Brett Goldstein's Louis. I could watch that scene ove...

KATHERINE LANASA The Pitt (HBO Max) Katherine LaNasa returns to the winner's circle for a second year in a row after she turned in an even better second season. Fresh off her Emmy win, the show upped what was required of her in the second season to the point that she basically became a co-lead. She had all the hallmarks of the character from the first season but what really led to her havi...

CAILEE SPAENY Beef (Netflix) I've seen Cailee Spaeny in a few things before, but she's never made much of an impression on me until Beef . She was an endlessly fascinating character on the show. At first glance, she seemed to have it all together but it was very quickly apparent that she did not and was pretty naive in important ways. Spaeny expertly play...
