She's got different competition, as Evan Rachel Wood from Westworld and Caitriona Balfe from Outlander are nominated. Should I expect a different result?
She's won this twice before, 2013 and 2014, but wasn't nominated for 2015. I've seen Westworld and while I like Evan Rachel Woods, I still don't think her acting comes up to par with Tats. However, she is the new face(or should I say the role is the new face) and the Critics Choice Awards like to pick new roles.
It looks like MS's analysis was right...the CCA's are trying to start a new bandwagon run with Evan Rachel Wood. Maybe in three years she too will win an Emmy. Lol.
