OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTRESS IN A MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Amy Adams as Camille Preaker in "SHARP OBJECTS"
Patricia Arquette as Tilly Mitchell in "ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA"
Carla Gugino as Olivia Crain in "THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE"
Joey King as Gypsy Rose Blanchard in "THE ACT"
Florence Pugh as Charlie / Charmain Ross in "THE LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL"
Michelle Williams as Gwen Verdon in "FOSSE/VERDON"

AND THE WINNER IS:


MICHELLE WILLIAMS AS GWEN VERDON IN "FOSSE/VERDON"

This is the first win and nomination for Michelle Williams.

For being William's long awaited return to television it's clear the days of Dawson's Creek are very much behind her. In this miniseries we have Williams playing the legendary Gwen Verdon and all I can say is I was stunned. The performance is entirely felt in both body and voice. It seemed her body like Verdon was dancing through the entire performance. Having slightfly suffered through a period in Williams career where it felt like all she was asked to play was depressed women now having seen her be so alive in a role increased my love for her again. The series was all about Michelle for me and even though her and Rockwell were meant to be co-leads I was just never effected by his work the same way I was by hers.
