Today's award is Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series!
This year's nominees are...
JENNIFER COOLIDGE as Tanya McQuoid-Hunt in The White Lotus (HBO)
CLAIRE DANES as Rachel Fleishman in Fleishman is in Trouble (FX/Hulu)
MEGHANN FAHY as Daphne Sullivan in The White Lotus (HBO)
NIECY NASH as Glenda Cleveland in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (Netflix)
AUBREY PLAZA as Harper Spiller in The White Lotus (HBO)
MERRITT WEVER as Frankie Pierce in Tiny Beautiful Things (Hulu)
And the Winner Is...
MEGHANN FAHY
The White Lotus (HBO)
This was a really tough decision between the three nominated ladies of The White Lotus. But I ultimately went with Meghann Fahy because of how nuanced her performance was in a show with great but broad performances. The much GIF-ed scene that the photo above is from is the perfect highlight of her abilities. When confronted with potential infidelity from her husband, Fahy's subsequent reaction is a master class in acting without even saying anything for awhile. Throughout the series, she had such an interesting character who was very superficial on the surface but it was clearly a façade the character had created. I was unfamiliar with Fahy before this season of The White Lotus and I can't wait to see more from her.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
As mentioned, this was really close between the White Lotus ladies. Last year's winner Jennifer Coolidge, the only returning main cast member on the show, was absolutely hilarious - especially in the finale - with some line readings that made me laugh out loud. Aubrey Plaza did her Aubrey Plaza thing but it was interesting to see in a more dramatic role. Claire Danes had one of the best showcase episodes of the entire year with the penultimate episode of Fleishman is in Trouble and that was easily enough for a nomination but she didn't have as much to do for the rest of the series. Niecy Nash was easy to root for in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and she showed a different side to herself. Finally, Merritt Wever delivered a heartbreaking performance in Tiny Beautiful Things.
