My Take
Eliza Coupe is, to me, a wonderfully underrated comic weapon. Trained seriously at the California Institute of the Arts, she could have chased the standard pretty-leading-lady lane, but she chose the harder one: playing sharp, slightly unhinged women and making them magnetic. Her Jo on Scrubs and Jane on Happy Endings are masterclasses in landing laughs without ever asking to be liked. I admire performers who would rather be funny than flattering, and she commits completely. Pulling that off looks effortless, which is precisely why it is so hard. She deserves far more credit than she gets.
