She gave one of the most stunning debut performances ever put on screen in Breaking The Waves and while I have absolutely NO complaints about Frances McDormand winning Best Actress for Fargo and her win is one of the best in its category, if it were up to me, I would've given BA to Watson. Such fearless work she gives.
