Julianne Nicholson has crashed into the top 10 of the Best Limited/TV Movie Supporting Actress race. Prior to the “Mare of Easttown” finale on Sunday, Nicholson was in 12th place in the odds, but she has since risen to ninth place following her gut-wrenching performance in the highly anticipated closer that temporarily crashed HBO Max.
As Lori Ross, the best friend of thorny detective Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet), Nicholson played a seemingly quiet role, a dutiful wife and mother whose world implodes in the finale when her 13-year-old son Ryan (Cameron Mann) is arrested for the murder of Erin McMenamin (Cailee Spaeny). The revelation that Lori’s husband, John (Joe Tippett), a serial philanderer, had an affair with 17-year-old Erin, who’s also the daughter of his cousin Kenny (Patrick Murney), and fathered her hearing-impaired son, DJ, was only one of the blows Lori had to withstand in the emotionally charged episode.
