no offense but i don't think jon hamm or christina hendricks have the range that elisabeth moss has. either way, most of the mad men cast is doing just fine.

i just marathoned the first two seasons of the handmaid's tale a monthish ago, and wow lol she really did the book justice tbh (both in acting and production)

Elizabeth has starred in some excellent AF indie films. My top three are "The One I Love", "Queen of Earth" and "Shirley".

I'm still mad Elisabeth didn't get an Oscar nod for Her Smell. Her performance was mindblowingly great. She's been working for a long time and is finally getting the respect she deserves. She's a really great actress.

I did not like Her Smell. I appreciate what she and the rest of the cast were trying to do but it just seemed like ACTING. Nothing felt genuine.

I just rewatched Top Of The Lake and goddamn she is so good. I've literally never disliked her in anything she's done tbh.

Top of the Lake is so damn good. Elisabeth Moss was perfect for that role.

The idea of a rape survivor escaping the shitty misogynistic town she grew up in, coming back, and getting emotionally involved in it, the hatred she still harbours... she played all that really well.
