Belieeeeve me, I am familiar with it! Not being an awards kind of gal and being a film watcher over a TV drama watcher in general, I know enough about the Oscar/ British Academy Film Awards but not as much about the Emmy/British Television Academy Awards TV awards process. I agree with you, I do think there is more (wrongly) placed value attached to awards in American than in Britain. Thank goodness for it! Of all the awards out there, the Golden Globes are the awards I would give the most credence to if only because they are not "in-house."

That interrogation scene is great, isn't it? She is so on the edge! I spent the majority of the episode skeptical about why they would cast someone of NW's abilities in a non-pivotal role. I knew there had to be something more. I think this is my favorite performance of the three guest shots for her because it doesn't really come to fruition until that last reaction of hers. As an actress, she certainly knows when to go in for the kill, figuratively speaking, of course.
