I personally found Reese Witherspoon to be the best actress on Big Little Lies but Hollywood adores Nicole Kidman, but then again what do I know?
I am very happy for Sterling K. Brown and Donald Glover and I am exceptionally happy for Riz Ahmed and The Night Of is brilliant, it is more captivating than Big Little Lies in my humble opinion. By this statement I'm not taking anything away from Big Little Lies, which is also brilliant.
