I'm glad Faye Dunaway won. Who knew that soon after her film career trajectory would take a sharp downward trend.
MTM deservedly won many Emmys in the medium she was a star in. An Oscar wouldn't have helped her......not that it did Dunaway but ar least she was a bonafide movie star.
Helped her do what? She should've won for the performance not because it would've gotten her more film roles or whatever. Aside from that film in which she was channeling her father, she wasn't a very good film actress.
Anyway, Dunaway should have won for Mommie Dearest.
