This column supports the Series of the Year election 2023 and focuses on the best actress of this year. You can vote for your favorite series in all genres, between Monday, January 2, and Sunday 4 February.
The acting categories are always my favorites at the major award shows. It is therefore great that for a number of years we have also been able to vote for our favorite actors and actresses at MySeries. There was a lot to choose from again this year and it is not easy to nominate only six actresses. But with everyone's help we have come up with the list below.
Below, in alphabetical order, are the top six 2023 Best Actress nominees;
Bella Ramsey - The Last of Us
Bella already won many hearts with her performance in
Game of Thrones. Now she stars in
The Last of Us. Ramsey has convinced many with her role and has been nominated for many major series. Will she walk away with the prize here? Disclaimer: Bella Ramsey is non-binary, but has stated that she accepts all pronouns. She also has no problem being nominated in "best actress" categories, she said in an interview.
Here you can find more info about Bella Ramsey.
Elizabeth Debicki - The Crown
The final season of
The Crown has been released, marking the end of an era. An era of actor changes and excessive interest in the British royal family. Elizabeth Debicki played the beautiful role of Princess Diana in the fifth and sixth seasons of the series. If you can portray this role well, you are quickly assured of nominations in all kinds of acting categories, and she certainly performed well.

Keri Russell - The Diplomat (US)
I haven't seen
The Diplomat (US) and I don't know Keri Russell very well. So instead of coming up with something to write here, I quoted several MySeries users: 'I enjoyed Keri Russell who takes the series to a higher level.' and 'What an awfully good actress Keri Russell is! This role is tailor-made for her!'.

Rosario Dawson - Ahsoka
Rosario Dawson has been working on her acting career for some time now. Anyone who watches a lot of films and series will probably have seen her before. However, the general public has now also been able to meet her in her role as
Ahsoka. Who knows, she might just walk away with the prizes.

Ruth Wilson - His Dark Materials
It's no secret that MySeries users and writers are fans of Ruth Wilson in
His Dark Materials. Every time she could, she was nominated in this category. Because what an actress! What a role! What an achievement! That's worth every nomination.

Writer's Choice
Because there is no wildcard voting in this category, I would like to nominate my own choice of writer as a wildcard.
Rosamund Pike - The Wheel of Time
I list it here as my choice of writer, but MySeries users have also frequently mentioned her name when nominating.
The Wheel of Time has equaled itself in its second season and Rosamund Pike is given some wonderful material to work with. And she does that excellently. I can't wait for more.
Here you can find more info about Rosamund Pike.
These were all six nominees nominated by our readers, by the writers and myself. You cannot use a wildcard in this category. Good luck voting.
