Before HBO's 'Task,' Emilia Jones Was the Standout of This Tender and Heartfelt Best Picture Winner

Taskhas one of the best ensemble casts of any show on television right now. Mark Ruffalo isn’t the only big name involved in the HBO crime series. Tom Pelphrey has been proving himself as a star ever since his breakthrough role in Ozark, Martha Plimpton is earning a major comeback, and Fabien Frankel is finally getting to play someone other than the despicable Criston Cole on House of the Dragon. Although she’s been giving a great performance as Maeve on Task, Emilia Jones earned her breakout role in the Apple TV+ drama CODA, which became a word-of-mouth sensation in 2021. After receiving rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, the film remained a mainstay in awards season and eventually won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
