And the Winner Is...
ELIZABETH DEBICKI
The Crown (Netflix)
This was a tough decision, but I went with Elizabeth Debicki because her scenes were by far the most interesting in an uneven fifth season of The Crown. Not only did Debicki look like a clone of Princess Diana, she also took over the reins from Emma Corrin to deliver a fully fleshed out performance that captured the "People's Princess" and her public persona as well as her personal anguish and struggles. Her Diana definitely felt like someone who had lived more years and was crumbling under the expectations of being in the royal family while being thoroughly unhappy and in a loveless marriage. I sat up and paid more attention to The Crown every time Debicki was on screen.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
This was an interesting category and maybe not the strongest, but it was still full of interesting performances. Dear Edward was a mess overall but Connie Britton brought her usual greatness to help elevate her small corner of the show. Hong Chau, fresh off an Oscar nomination, was a force in The Night Agent while her co-star, Fola Evans-Akingbola didn't seem to have much of a part at first but became much more prominent as the season went on. Jodi Balfour is fresh in my head from a rough arc on Ted Lasso, but she was much better on For All Mankind in a role that became much more important in the third season. Ayo Edebiri had many great moments in The Bear as a character who was easy to root for. Finally, Yvonne Strahovski might have had her best season yet on The Handmaid's Tale as her mostly evil character showed a little more dimension in the fifth season.
