Lange was given way more importance (lines/screentime/general focus) and her performance in terms of acting was better than Sarandon's, but Sarandon actually looked more alike and acted more in line with the woman she was playing (and was good in general), so I pic Sarandon.

At the beginning.... Sarandon. But Lange started to overtake her after the first 1/3 of it. I think Lange has the innate characteristics of a thespian found rarely (the likes of Sandy Dennis, Kim Stanley, Gena Rowlands). Sarandon... is not comparable.... she's more like the Lawrence and the Emma Stone of her period. That's not a bad thing, but Lange is just another type of beast altogether, and is just the epitome of a thespian and she never inherently lost that, even though it's 35 years since Frances - and it's evident here. What you are never remains what you are till death, I guess.

Lange was better, but she had so much more material to work with that it's almost unfair to compare. The supporting cast really stole the show, though.
Also, Kidman deserves the Emmy over the both of them.

God, I really hope Carrie Coon wins. Between the two of them gotta go with Lange, the whole thing was basically set up for her. Sarandon was playing a large supporting role.

I preferred Sarandon. Lange was given a much larger role, one of the problems I had with the show, and therefore got more powerful and emotional beats to work with, but I think Sarandon was more grounded and believable, and she had a fierce grit to her performance that I just liked more.
However, out of the all the nominees it'll be an outright crime if Nicole Kidman doesn't take that Emmy.
