In hindsight, Scanlen’s portrayal of this character is all the more impressive if you consider the many different sides of Amma she had to portray, let alone the difficulty of making the idea of this 15-year-old girl being a killer believable. Amma’s final one-liner, followed by an abrupt cut to back and two unexpected post-credit scenes are the types of shockers Emmy voters might still remember now, almost an entire year after the show aired. While Scanlen hasn’t landed a single nom for “Sharp Objects” so far, you can’t rule her out at the Emmys.

The only other actor to get nominated for the show was Elizabeth Perkins, at Critics’ Choice, who didn’t have the requisite amount of screen time to compete in the limited Series/TV movie supporting actress race at the Emmys. Adams and Clarkson were the only actors to reap the trifecta of Critics’ Choice, Golden Globes and SAG bids, with the former tying Patricia Arquette (“Escape at Dannemora”) at Critics’ Choice and the latter winning at Critics’ Choice and the Globes. “Sharp Objects” performed relatively well at the precursors, nabbing four Critics’ Choice and three Golden Globe Award nominations, as well as nine nominations from eight different guilds, including two at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

SEE Eliza Scanlen: Her murderous psychopathic character on ‘Sharp Objects’ is ‘just a little girl in the end’ Two post-credit scenes finally reveal Amma as the Wind Gap killer and as the new killer in her new hometown of St. In comparatively sparse screen time, Scanlen crafted a performance that was layered and nuanced, haunting and unsettling, but most notably ominous until the very end when Amma dropped the biggest bombshell of them all: “Don’t tell mama.” This is when Camille ( Amy Adams) finds teeth arranged as floor tiles in her half-sister’s dollhouse and realizes that they belong to the teenage girls who were recently killed.
