Awkwafina – The Farewell

“No performance was as surprising as the one given by Awkwafina. No other performance this year gave the depth of emotion with that perfect twinge of comedic ump than Awkwafina. I will be as so bold as to say that her performance is reminiscent of the ones given by Robin Williams in his prime years as a dramatic/comedic performer. Yes, that’s how damn good she is.” – Adam Kautzer

Lupita Nyong’o – US

“Walking out of Us last year one thing really left me speechless. That was Lupita Nyong’o’s mesmerizing and transformative performance. The choices she made in the film were risky, brave and inspired. To me, she was unparalleled in 2019.” – Shane Singletary

Florence Pugh – Midsommar

“Horror never gets awards love, but Ari Aster’s sophomore effort lives or dies based on the quality of its leading lady, and Florence Pugh hit this performance out of the park.” – Scott Phillips

Tao Zhao – Ash is the Purest White

“Tao Zhao embodies China itself in Ash is Purest White and her evolution through the three phases of the film, over 15 years, from under the thumb to total agency is mesmerising.” – Marie O’Sullivan
