Finalists: It still doesn’t feel entirely right putting them in this category, but Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black) and Samara Wiley (Orange is the New Black) were the standouts from a massive ensemble as the most genuine, politically proactive prisoners who took stands based on their beliefs. Tara Lynne Barr (Casual) continued to compellingly make mistake after mistake as she navigated into new areas without much knowledge of what she was doing. Emma Kenney (Shameless) entered a new stage of her life with a surprising outlook and plan for success. Meredith Hagner (Search Party) made her lack of self-awareness an asset, energizing an otherwise lackluster and almost nonexistent investigation with her acting enthusiasm.
The nominees:
Jade Eshete (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) was soft-spoken but intelligent and resilient, staying true to her commitments as the quietest of her colorful cast. Yvonne Orji (Insecure) complemented Issa well as a woman with a successful job struggling just as much to get by. Sherri Shepherd (Trial and Error) and Jayma Mays (Trial and Error) were wondrous elements of East Peck, the former afflicted with every possible minor condition and the latter eager to embrace the particular absurdities of her town to her advantage.
The winner:
Fiona Dourif (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) was the perfect counterpart to the show’s title character, doing things just to do them and seeing what happens as a result. Her demeanor was particularly memorable, and she’s one holistic assassin you’d never want to meet.
