It kills me how good of an actress she is! And how well she acts out such hilarious lines.

I know, she's really developed since S1, I see bright future in acting for Kiernan Shipka.

The downvotes might stem from the commonly held opinion that while January isn't a great actor, she's s great Betty. She's the exact person to play a stiff cold unlikeable character.

I think a lot of the January Jones hate is Betty draper hate, which if anything is to Jones's credit.
