I don't expect to see these on anymore ballots (but mine re: Bae and Davis; Bae might be on roujin's), but they're all first-rate.  I find moments of genius in those Bae and Davis performances. 

I couldn't pick out just one of the girls from LLL.  As I said when I posted my list:

* I wish I could do a blanket vote for the entire core cast of Linda Linda Linda.  What a charming group of young women, and all so well-drawn.


Also....

42. Kerry Fox - An Angel At My Table

On mine and I'm pretty confident it'll be on OAD's.

#14 on my list.

I'm well aware of your submitted list, love for the performances in LLL, and for Kerry Fox in the Campion film and the film itself.  Was speaking on upcoming lists.  Love a lot of the ones on your ballot, btw.
