These three ladies (all of whom are leading, in my view) are just extraordinary in this movie - they each give essentially faultless performances. Olivia Colman is a titanic force, while Rachel Weisz gives a career-best turn as the cold, razor-sharp Lady Sarah. However, if I had to give one of them MVP, it would be Emma Stone, who really took me by surprise with a performance that's unlike anything she's given before. Firstly, she nails the English accent. But beyond the technicals, she adds layers of genuine intimidation and unnerving cruelty to Abigail, while still flexing her fabulous comedic chops and managing to have tons of fun with it all. I've always really liked Stone, but before this I thought she often played too similar to her own personality. Here, she put those doubts to shame.
Ranking them (which really is tough), I'd say: 1) Stone 2) Colman 3) Weisz
Right now, they make up my top 3 for Best Actress.

Weisz > Colman = Hoult > Stone Hoult was also fantastic, and just behind the three ladies.

Currently, all three are my wins this year. One of two ties I give other than The Master boys.
They're all different, but each is pitch perfect. So, I can't pick

Colman then Weiss then Stone. In most years Stone would easily make my top 5 for her performance here but I don't think she'll crack it. They're all at the top of their game and between Thomasin McKenzie and Lady Gaga I don't think there will be room. I really love them all but I'm especially excited about Weiss. It's fantastic seeing her still kicking ass not just in one but TWO movies this past year. And this was such a nuanced and challenging part. She fucking NAILED it!

Colman > Weisz > Stone. Obviously, all three are among the best of the year so ranking them feels almost arbitrary.

Weisz Colman
Stone (though I still like her quite a lot and think it’s her best performance to date)

Just saw it. All 3 are spectacular. Overall I'd say it's Colman > Weisz > Stone, if only because Stone's role, being the showiest, was easiest to impress.

Colman’s the only acceptable answer and I’m not even that huge on her performance.

They were all excellent.
