Women of the Week

Two weeks into 2018 and we’ve got some pretty strong on-screen performances. Read on to find out which leading ladies wowed us this week…

NOMINATED BY LEAH: NATACHA KARAM AS JAZ KHAN ON THE BRAVE

Mine is Natacha Karam as Jaz on The Brave. She went through A LOT this week. Jaz was captured and tortured. Natacha managed strong, defiant, scared and relieved in the span of an hour and I was glued to the TV.

NOMINATED BY ANGE: MANDY MOORE AS REBECCA PEARSON ON THIS IS US

The heartbreaking outburst by Rebecca in the family therapy session that Randall was easier to love and how she felt abandoned by Kevin after Jack’s death, alone sealed Moore as my choice star performer this week. Rebecca tried so hard to stay strong when the therapist suggested that Rebecca hid Jack’s flaws from the kids, as well as when Kevin kept pushing that Randall was her favorite and in the end there was only so much denial that Rebecca could do until she cracked and boy was it a heartbreaking moment to watch when she did. Moore nailed it!
