Personally, I'd throw Jack Black the award for Best Hissy Fit for his role as Bethany in Jack Kasdan's JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, Cameron Monaghan the award for Best Villain for his performance as Jerome Valeska on GOTHAM, and Letitia Wright for her brilliant portrayal as Shuri in Ryan Coogler's BLACK PANTHER.
