Miranda Hart (Nancy)/Spy- Melissa McCarthy's wacky CIA Analyst buddy with a big crush on rapper, 50 Cent, was able to get in a few good laughs herself amongst the sea of nuttiness in this espionage comedy.
Jennifer Jason Leigh (Daisy Domergue)/The Hateful Eight- The foul-mouthed, racist, psychotic outlaw from Quentin Tarantino's latest epic garners little sympathy for her plight because no matter how much Kurt Russell's bounty hunter character puts a whuppin' on her, a part of you feels it's well-deserved. Yes, she is that despicable. And that's what makes her performance award worthy.
Evangeline Lily (Hope Van Dyne)/Ant-Man- Hope was a different kind of love interest to the hero in this film as she really wasn't one until the end. In a film genre usually lacking in strong female leads, she stands out as a character you know doesn't need to be saved. In fact, she puts a licking on the hero more than once. Lilly and Paul Rudd have a strange antagonistic chemistry for most of the film. Strangely, it works quite well.
Jennifer Leigh....Great performance.
