The 2017 Cinema Touch Awards - ACTRESS

by

Julien Faddoul

5. Columbus – Haley Lu Richardson

For an incomparable ease in her own skin, she is sorely transparent but beautiful.

4. Personal Shopper – Kristen Stewart

For her unparalleled control. Stewart, who balances a mix of womanly vulnerability and cerebral skepticism, is consummate in the title role.

3. Phantom Thread – Vicky Krieps

For such a palpable depiction of the transference of power. The film really stands on her shoulders.

2. The Post – Meryl Streep

For always - ALWAYS - being interesting. Just when you think there's nothing more that this woman could possible contribute to cinema…never doubt it.

1. A Quiet Passion – Cynthia Nixon

For a note-perfect turn from this formidable queen, giving an almost titular performance. The wide array of awards that she was never considered for is the year's most irksome error.

Runner Up: Lady Bird – Saoirse Ronan
