5) Krysten Ritter & David Tennant – Jessica Jones (Tie)
Outstanding Lead Actress & Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
It’s cheating to add both but I honestly couldn’t choose between the two. Jessica Jones is the first Marvel production to feature a female lead, and in that respect it completely succeeds. Krysten Ritter is a revelation as broken soul and hard-as-nails private eye. David Tennant is equal parts terrifying and pathetic as a man with everything at the palm of his hands, except the thing he wants most. Both take the superhero genre to another level of artistry not even the films have yet to match, and their snubs are nothing short of criminal.
