I’m excited. She was incredible in Godless. Even with Carrie Coon’s extraordinary performance in Leftovers Season 3 & Claire Foy literally becoming Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown Season 2, My Best Lead Actress for 2017 was Michelle Dockery for Godless.

Such a fantastic series - I wish it weren’t limited!

It was an absolute masterclass in understatement; you wouldn't think an actor could say so much about a character while staying so still and quiet. The character's most emotional moment is, like, a slight tremble of the lip, and it just lands so hard.
Not often I've seen a performance like it.

You and I would be good friends. Things like these is one of my favourite parts about movies, shows and video games. When the acting, cinematography and visual storytelling together can convey emotions without the use of normal and bad dialogue to explain things. I just love it. Its rare but I love it. One of my favourite things about acting alongside monologues. One of the recent examples of this imo was Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen in Episode 3 of House of the Dragon. Bro didn’t speak a single word during the whole final act but we could just know the Daemon’s emotions in that scene but Matt Smith’s acting.

Godless was such a great series, I selfishly wanted a second season but it was perfect as a limited series. Her and Jack O’Connell were great together
