So click on over for odes to Vanessa Bayer, Ana de Armas, Harriet Samson Harris, Moses Ingram, Britne Oldford, David Clavel, Bradley Cooper, Barry Keoghan, Chris Messina, Channing Tatum, Stephanie Beatriz, Mike Rianda, Woody Norman, David Alvarez, Simu Liu, and many more...

For juvenile performance, I would include Lucian-River Chauhan as Jay Khan in Encounter. The 11 year old is cast as the elder son of Malik (Riz Ahmed) who has returned after an extended absence to take both boys on an unexpected road trip. This journey will challenge Jay to grapple with his love for his father and an ever growing suspicion that his dad is deceiving both Jay and his brother (Aditya Geddada). I found Chauhan to deliver a nuanced performance worthy of recognition.

Also, Daniel Ranieri in The Tender Bar.
Maybe too many scenes, but a favorite cameo for me was Frances Conroy in POTD as the chilly mother of Phil and George Burbank, an indelible presence in every scene she was in, even in the background.
Is it serious?
Where's Jude Hill?
Harriet Samson Harris would nail Almodóvar's tone, and that is something you can't say about many American actresses.
Fabio -- i didn't think he was very good.
Peggy -- ooh, you're right.
Marsha -- i probably should have semi-finaled her, you're right.
Finbar -- oh now i feel bad. He was good in that. Should have finaled him.
I thought Sean Penn was splendid in Licorice Pizza, even better than Cooper. It was a perfect embodiment of William Holden in the '70s.
I'm gonna missed it out the acting voice choices because animated films are the huuuge exception for me to watch movies without subtitles because of the work of the dubbing acting voice actors in México.
My choices gonna be very different from this site and the best example is 'Encanto' with a great work in the singing parts but not that much in speaking dialogues without a single remarkable performance, the most disapointing part for me was the use of a 'neutral' tone instead of the beautiful colombian accent.
Interesting to watch Melissa Barrera as "breakthrough" when she have been appear in movies since 2014.
Harriet Harris (and yes - please please please get her a star vehicle) and Ana de Armas really seem the two perfect picks for their category (and great call on Bayer and Smith for Talking Club too). And Keoghan was pitch perfect (and menacing) in The Green Knight.
Yay my favorite post of the year! (Tied with best scene awards)
