My Take
Nina Arianda is the kind of theater talent who makes me wish the screen used her more. Winning the Tony for Best Actress for Venus in Fur was no fluke; her ability to flip between bawdy comedy and quicksilver menace in a single scene is genuinely electric, and her earlier nomination for Born Yesterday showed it was no one-off. Trained at NYU's Tisch, she carries that rigorous stage discipline into everything. I always feel she's slightly too good for the supporting film roles she sometimes gets, and I keep hoping someone hands her a part as fearless as her Broadway work.
