Tina Fey returns for Sarah Palin part III and is as brilliant as ever in a longer sketch than the first two. Maybe because Fey’s performance isn’t a surprise anymore, we don’t focus as much on her spot on mannerisms and verbal tics and inflections. The real highlight here is Queen Latifah as moderator Gwen Ifill. Latifah steals every moment with knowing glances and eye rolls, and she doesn’t try too hard to be funny in her supporting role. Exactly what you expect from an Oscar nominee for best supporting actress.
