Everyone’s got a list, so why not?
The most interesting list is the second one. Criminally underrated performances this year were Alessandro Nivola in “Many Saints,” Margot Robbie in “Suicide Squad,” Clifton Collins Jr. in “Jockey,” and Kirsten Dunst in “Power of the Dog.”
Also, for Best Actress this season, the Academy should not overlook Jennifer Hudson in “Respect” and Jessica Chastain in “Tammy Faye.” These were the most passionately devoted turns of the year. My other three choices would be Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, and Olivia Colman.
