[spoilers] Nicola Walker

[DogSoSmall]

Nicola's performance in Law & Order was riveting. Once again, she transformed the programme she was in from a pleasant bit of entertainment to unmissable viewing. How does she do it with a handful of minutes on screen? More than deserving of an award, but I can see that she would never nominate herself. I'm sure though that the respect of her peers is far more important to her. I wish there could be awards based on industry votes that had nothing to do with marketing and were just about recognising talent. How great would they be to watch? Clips of great performances followed by meaningful awards. I know there are a few such awards out there, but they are never televised and you rarely get to hear about them. The audience popularity contests that make up the bulk of our awards ceremonies are tripe.
