EMMY 2022 NOMINEE REESE WITHERSPOON
Cloris.
Fonda, Leachman and Johnson are among the best winners in their categories, hard to choose but in the end I went with Leachman.
This is another strong quartet, but I very recently saw Fonda and was blown away by her work there, so I threw her a vote.
All three movies here are great, too.

Great group. Some of Fonda's best work. The rest are really good. Its between the two ladies for me, but I don't really want to vote for LeachMEAN, so I'll go with Jane!
I never got the hype for Cloris in The Last Picture Show. The whole film was rather pointless and underwhelming in my book.

"And there on top of his head were faces like she had seen only in a dream, almost too beautiful to be recognized as people at all:
the most beautiful woman and the most beautiful man in the world, she the female version of him, and he the male version of her"
Legend Leachman.
Fonda, but holy moly, all four of these are superb. I adore Hackman, but if Topol had won like he should have, this would be arguably the best quartet of winners… ever?![]()
Leachman. I adore Fonda, but there something too "methodish" in her Klute performance for my taste.
Oh, there's men in those polls ? I didn't notice !
I have not seen The Last Picture Show in neons, going to rewatch it this week-end. My brother adore the novel.
I like them all. Clovis was most unexpected for me so went with her.
Johnson but I voted for Leachman in a futile attempt to stop Fonda from winning
Now this is a world-class list! Fonda - Johnson - Leachman - Hackman. All superb.
