What a slate of performances!!!!  I could happily give this award to any of them.  SO tempted to reward Deadwyler, who was utterly captivating - but her time will come.  And Blanchett turned in debatably a career-high performance here (which is saying a LOT).  But Blanchett already has two Dickies, AND I really can't imagine not giving this to Yeoh, whose role in Everything requires SUCH a highwire act of balancing so many facets at once - the various threads of the multiverse plot, the wacky action, the comedy, and the heart, which she delivers in spades.  As a result, she carries, and more impressively defines, this film, my second favorite of the year.  Go Yeoh!!!
