My Favorite Performances of 2019 (Female)

Adelaide Wilson / Red - Us
"They won't stop until they kill us... or we kill them."

Dani - Midsommar
"Are these the May Queens?"

Honorable Mentions:
Amy March - Little Women
Saraya Knight - Fighting with My Family

Billi - The Farewell
"You know, one of the few good memories of my childhood were those summers at Nai Nais's. They had that garden, Ye Ye and I would catch dragonflies. And then we just moved to the States. Everything was different. Everyone was gone. And it was just the three of us."

Ki Jung - Parasite
"Jessica, only child. Illinois, Chicago."

Marta Cabrera - Knives Out
"I'm not trying to beat you. I'm creating a beautiful pattern."

Rosie - Jojo Rabbit
"You're growing up too fast. Ten-year-olds shouldn't be celebrating war and talking politics. You should be climbing trees and then falling out of those trees."

Honorable Mentions:
Nicole Barber - Marriage Story
Natasha Romanoff - Avengers: Endgame

Sharon Tate - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
"Aww, what's the matter? You afraid I'll tell Jim Morrison you were dancing to Paul Revere & The Raiders? Are they not cool enough for you?"

Honorable Mentions:
Kayla Pospisil - Bombshell

Park Yeon-kyo - Parasite

Nai Nai - The Farewell
"I walked the path of life and I have to say, you will face with difficulties. But you have to have an open mind. Don't be like a bull hitting his horns all over the walls of the room. Life isn't just about what you do, it's more about how you do it."

Ramona - Hustlers
"Start 'em off with a single, then a double, then a triple, then back to a double, and back to a single. You want 'em drunk enough to get their credit card then sober enough to sign the check."

Amy - Booksmart
"It isn't you who has to deal with their awkward looks when I say that I'm going to the library with you and I'm actually going to the library with you."

Rose the Hat - Doctor Sleep
"I see the grease all over you. You don't 'shine' quite the same. Growing up spoils that, I guess."

Jo March - Little Women
"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for."

Elsa - Jojo Rabbit
"You're not a Nazi, Jojo. You're a ten-year-old kid who likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club."

Daughter - I Am Mother

Eleanor - The Peanut Butter Falcon

Pussycat - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
"Obviously, I'm not too young to fuck you, but obviously, you are too old to fuck me."
