My Take
Lena Headey earned a permanent place in my memory with Cersei Lannister, a villain so layered that hating her felt like a form of admiration. Five Emmy nominations without a win strikes me as one of television's great injustices, yet it oddly suits her: she has always seemed more interested in fearsome, complicated women than in trophies. From Gorgo in 300 to her voice and directing work, she gravitates toward strength with cracks in it, which is the hardest thing to play. Born in Bermuda and raised British, she carries a slight outsider's edge that I think feeds her best performances. I remain firmly in her corner.
