Nicole (duh).

[dlong]

Susan was so fucking iconic in Feud.

[MrFilmkritik]

Gotta be Kidman.

[Jay]

I still prefer Witherspoon in S1 to Kidman. Sarandon is great here too.

Honestly a pretty perfect lineup!

[Peppin]

So happy Sarandon is getting more votes than Lange, this was not the case when it first aired. Not that the latter wasn't great, she was also incredible, but Miss Sarandon was simply outstanding and jaw-dropping.

Agreed, and I really love Kidman (much more so than Witherspoon), but Reese was perfect with this role.

This is still one of my favorite hairstyle moments from Wigcole.

Best Wigstress in a Miniseries/TV Movie, absolutely!

Three blind spots which means I abstain.

Re Feud, I'm shocked Sarandon is so far ahead of Lange. IMO, neither the script or Susan's performance did Bette justice. While I appreciate her perf didn't veer into caricature lane, Susan played it too safe. Bette wasn't nearly as dynamic as she needed to be.

Granted, the scripts treated La Davis as an afterthought. Murphy's main goal was to somewhat rehabilitate Joan which didn't help Sarandon in the slightest. Nevertheless, I think Judy Davis would've brought more pizzazz and intensity to Bette.

Lange was magnificent as Crawford. The script provided her with a smorgasbord and she savored every varied, delectable bite.

[Jali]

Oscars wishes to have a category as great as this one. All these five performances are great and deserved to win.

Totally agree.

Legend in those therapy scenes are still some of the best acting we've seen and should be in the pantheon of greatest TV performances

This, this, and this.

You know what's up

[variousstorms]

Despite Witherspoon and Sarandon being incredible, it's still Kidman. Something about that performance just got me

[Eduardo Zuckerberg]

Mehcole Kidman is easily gonna win this (kinda deserved tbh)

But I'm gonna throw a vote to Reese.
