BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES OR TV MOVIE
GUGU MBATHA-RAW, BLACK MIRROR: SAN JUNIPERO (NETFLIX)
The standout episode of Netflix’s British anthology series Black
Mirror is favored to grab a nomination in the TV-movie category, but Mbatha-Raw faces heavy competition from stars in shows including Big Little Lies and
American Horror Story. It’s hard to explain what makes her performance so special without spoiling the episode’s twist, but the emotional weight rests almost entirely on Mbatha-Raw’s shoulders. She carries it gamely, all while charming and captivating everyone on and offscreen.
