This was a fun race on the staff side with the ultimate winner coming up through the ranks to stealthily claim the title. On the Readers’ side, the ultimate winner surged out to the front from the start and was never again caught despite a strong list of fellow nominees.
Amalia Holm made an immediate impression from the first moment she graced screens as Scylla Ramshorn on Motherland: Fort Salem. She has been a powerhouse performer in every episode of the season so far and turned in her most profound performance during Mother Mycelium. The scream she delivered as Ralle (Taylor Hickson) was dragged from Scylla will haunt those who saw and heard it for a long time to come. Her performance early on in the episode was full of defiance leading up to the moment Scylla broke in the wake of losing Raelle again. Through everything the writers threw at her, Holm delivered one commanding performance after another. The audience could feel the anguish that pulsed through the screen and slammed right into the chests of every person watching. It was the type of performance that can’t and won’t be forgotten. For all these reasons and many more that will be discussed in her winner article, Amalia Holm is SpoilerTV’s Readers’ Choice April Performer of the Month.
Jessica Camacho stormed onto screens last Fall as the confident Public Defender Emily Lopez in All Rise. She has been a brilliant force to watch command the screen in each episode. Camacho channels so many emotions into her performance and when Emily believes in a defendant you can see it shine through in her performance. But her performance in In The Fights (1x19) was different. Her performance was so different in this episode and you could feel the conflict boiling up in Emily throughout the episode until that final heartbreaking moment at the end where Emily just loses it and breaks down as the emotions overwhelm her. The performance Camacho delivered in that moment was almost hard to watch because of how much pain she channeled into Emily to bring that very real explosion of emotion to life. Delivering strong performances is what she is known for, but her performance in this episode was next level and very worthy of recognition. For all these reasons and many more that will be discussed in her winner article, Jessica Camacho is SpoilerTV’s Staff Choice April Performer of the Month.
Amalia Holm and Jessica Camacho’s winner articles will be published later this month. In the meantime, please feel free to use the comments section to discuss both of these worthy winners and their amazing fellow nominees.
