I think Hulu will be able to get away with campaigning Arquette in a supporting field for The Act, keeping her from competing with herself and simultaneously ceding some of the spotlight to the equally exceptional Joey King.
Now we’re just months later and somehow Arquette is back with another expertly larger-than-life turn in another true-crime miniseries, and it’s possible that her performance in Hulu’s The Act is every bit as good and every bit as worthy of awards consideration as what she delivered in Escape at Dannemora.
