And the Winner Is...
JAMIE LEE CURTIS
The Bear (FX/Hulu)
Jamie Lee Curtis was a tour de force in the acclaimed "Fishes" episode of the second season of The Bear. While I heard the criticism that a star as big as Curtis took some people out of the episode and world of the show, I did not feel that way at all. In fact, it took me longer than I want to admit to even realize it was Jamie Lee Curtis. She was so deeply believable as the Matriarch of the Berzatto clan and wasn't afraid to be a complete mess of a character. She was heartbreaking, occasionally funny and very, very real in the role.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
This was a really strong category. The whole category could have been filled up by guest stars from The Bear, especially in the "Fishes" episode but Bob Odenkirk also made the cut as the intense Uncle Lee. Some shows like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Elsbeth lend themselves to big time guest stars with a "case of the week" approach to some extent. That led to great performances from Micaela Coel and Parker Posey on Smith and Retta and Elizabeth Lail on Elsbeth, not to mention many others. Finally, Rashida Jones was the true star of the first episode of Silo and really carried the first episode in a way that guest stars are rarely asked to do.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Guest Actor or Actress in a Comedy Series!
