This was another interesting month of voting. Early on in the voting on the Readers' side, it looked like it could be quite a fierce battle. Then about halfway through the ultimate winner surged ahead and was never again caught. The Staff side was once again close right to the very end.
Tom Ellis brought some of his sharpest, sauciest performances yet to the fourth season of Lucifer. As the titular character of the show, he carries the show so effortlessly, it’s as if he has wings. Who's da New King of Hell?, the Season 4 finale, showcased Ellis’s talents in all their glory. Viewers were treated to everything they love about the character Lucifer in one episode. From a fiendishly charming opening number to the mighty thunderclap of the climax, Ellis brought a sense of powerful triumph to every scene. Not one to leave anything on the table, he stripped down emotionally for a quiet farewell. The pure honesty that Ellis imbues his devil’s heroic sacrifice left viewers simultaneously grief-stricken and hopeful. For his work in this episode, our readers voted him SpoilerTV’s May Readers’ Choice Outstanding Performer of the Month.
In the second half of Season Four, Supergirl writers and producers undertook their riskiest storyline yet. The Alex Danvers mind-wipe storyline featured two of the show’s strongest performers in an arc that rattled the foundation of and will ultimately strengthen the show’s most important relationship, the Danvers sisters. The storyline is brought to a powerful conclusion in one of the penultimate episodes of the season, Red Dawn (4x21). In Red Dawn, Alex Danvers regains her memories of her sister as Supergirl and fights to save her life. Chyler Leigh, as Alex gives an emotionally charged and heart-wrenching virtuoso performance that brought many to tears more than once when it aired and has rightfully earned her the honor of SpoilerTV’s Staff Choice Performer of the Month for May.
Look for the winner articles for Tom Ellis and Chyler Leigh to release later this month. In the meantime, feel free to use the comments section below to discuss these two incredible winners and their powerhouse fellow nominees.
