My Take
Elizabeth Debicki has, for my money, the most arresting screen presence of her generation. Born in Paris, raised in Melbourne, trained first as a dancer, and you can see the dance in everything she does; even her stillness feels choreographed. She announced herself as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby, but the awards run from 2023 through her 2024 Emmy confirmed what I had long suspected: she can carry a production's entire emotional weight from a supporting position. Plenty of actors play fragility or play poise; Debicki plays both simultaneously, which is far harder. I also love that she shows up in the Peter Rabbit films without irony. That range tells me she chooses curiosity over image.
