  2. Please to see you left two of the names who were unjustly on the lead actress drama last year, Bates and Hargity.

    I so hope Anna Torv will make it on the list as a surprise, she was once again amazing, what she does with all the Olivia versions, not much backstory, just some facts, but all of the Olivias are great in depth characters.

    One Olivia losing her memory, for those of the other, or one recovering her memories , so beautiful acted, so difficult, and so underrated.
    And great AltLivia, and Olivia and AltLivia having chemistry, interacting in 1 scene.

    So how about:

    Torv
    Danes
    Moss
    Marguilis
    Delaney
    Segal
