The 2014 Cinema Touch Awards - ACTRESS

by

Julien Faddoul

5. Obvious Child – Jenny Slate

For taking an unlikely personality and turning it into effervescent comedy and warmth.

4. The Immigrant – Marion Cotillard

For providing this year with two devastating performances. Ewa Cybulski is my favourite of the two only because she exhibits true Lillian Gish torture.

3. Under the Skin – Scarlett Johansson

For a fierce dive into ethnographic fearlessness, finding new ways to convey loneliness. It is the year's boldest performance.

2. Still Alice – Julianne Moore

For, as always, infusing more humanity than one might think possible so that we don't merely watch her but stare at her.

1. Listen Up Philip – Elisabeth Moss

For carefully constructing a line of empathy that allows us in to Ashley's mental state of lament. Even as she erratically chides her ex-boyfriend, we always understand why.

Runner Up: Two Days, One Night – Marion Cotillard
