Series of the Year 2024 - Best actress

Series of the Year 2024 - Best actress

This column supports the Series of the Year election 2024 and focuses on the best actress of this year. You can vote for your favorite series in this genre and others, between Monday, January 6, and Sunday February 10.
With so many series and so many flavors, nominating actors and actresses is always even more difficult than nominating series. After all, there are many categories for the series, but only 6 spots for actresses. In the pre-selection, the writers and users of MySeries were very divided. Nevertheless, I believe that the list below is a good representation of the past series year. I'm curious about the winner.

Below, in alphabetical order, are the top six Best Actress nominees from 2024;

Anna Sawai - Shogun



Anna Sawai has been making a name for herself for some time now with roles in Pachinko and Monarch, among others. However, she really achieved fame with her role in Shogun. She even won a Primetime Emmy Award for it. Will she also win the MySeries award?

Ella Purnell (Fallout)



One of the big hits of last year is post-apocalyptic Amazon series Fall-out, featuring a major role for English actress Ella Purnell. Ella knows how to convince in this series. I'm curious about the sequel.

Imelda Staunton - The Crown



Where last year we nominated Elizabeth Debicki for the first half of the final season of The Crown, this year we nominated Imelda Staunton for the real final piece that was broadcast in December (after all, these elections run from December to December). A nomination for 'the queen' is therefore fitting. As a conclusion.

Maria Sten - Reacher



I have not seen this series, but Maria Sten received a lot of nominations from readers and writers. Perhaps Reacher is worth checking out after all.

Michelle Keegan - Fool Me One



In recent years, Harlan Coben's books have been adapted one by one for the small screen. This year Fool Me Once was added to that list. And that earns Michelle Keegan a nomination for best actress!

Writer's choice
Because there is no wildcard voting in this category, I would like to nominate my own choice of writer as a wildcard.

Jean Smart - Hacks



I'm not a big comedy fan, but I think Hacks is a great series. And that is largely due to Jean Smart's fantastic acting. It is not without reason that she has won many awards for this role (which is based on legendary comedian Joan Rivers).

These were all six nominees nominated by you, the readers, by the writers and myself. You cannot use a wildcard in this category. Good luck voting.

I expected another Keri Russell in this category. Then my vote goes to Anna Sawai.

But now the most shocking thing, Lucas hasn't seen Reacher.. How?! :P

Although I also really liked Ella Purnell and Maria Sten in their series this year, my vote still goes to Jean Smart.

And indeed JanWillem, that's also about the first thing that struck me in this piece. Lucas hasn't seen Reacher! :-)

With her role in Shogun, she is in my eyes the best actress of 2024. My vote goes to Anna Sawai.

I've only seen Reacher and The Crown from this list. In this case I'll go for Imelda Staunton
