Agnes Borg Pettersen (Sentimental Value)

Between an estranged filmmaker of a father and a stage actor of a sister, Agnes (Inga Ibs-dotter Lilleaas) barely gets a breather in this drama that unpacks historical trauma through art and memory. She's all about small movements and gestures; there’s no time to perform grief like her sister and father. And she's the only one willing to look beyond the family betrayal and resentment. She's not loud - that's exactly why she stands out.

Varang (Avatar: Fire & Ash)

Who doesn't love a hot baddie with a tail? Oona Chaplin, the human actor who plays the avenging leader of the Ash people, is not the tallest in the land. But she has a towering seductive presence that terrifies her own people and those in her way. She'll use psychedelic serum to get the truth out of other Na'vi, but really, she's hypnotic all by herself.

Rachel Mizler (Marty Supreme)

It's not easy to cut through the deafening pitch and flashiness of Marty Supreme. But everything stops for Rachel (Odessa A'zion), Marty's childhood sweetheart and partner, who sees right through his b*llshit. Unlike Marty, who is bouncing off the walls with his ambition, Rachel goes from side character to power player in the game of fame. In her own way, she's just as driven as Marty.
