Foster, who won two Oscars for Best Actress for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs, has finally triumphed at the primetime TV awards on the fifth time of asking in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category.
Foster, who won the award for her role as Chief Liz Danvers in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country, said, “This is an incredibly emotional moment for me, because True Detective: Night Country was just a magical experience, and it all comes from the top, the beautiful, wonderful, talented Issa Lopez.”
She also expressed her gratitude to Kali Reis, her “partner in crime,” and the Icelandic cast of the play. “The Inuit and Indigenous people of Northern Alaska, for the most part, just told us their stories and let us listen.” That was truly fortunate. It was all about love. The feeling that something extraordinary occurs is profound and lovely, and it predates this location, Foster continued. Foster was the first actor to win an acting Emmy for the True Detective series.
The Baby Dance, a 1999 Showtime television film, and Orange Is The New Black, a 2014 Netflix series, were among the actor’s past Emmy nominations. In addition, he received a Daytime Emmy nomination for AMC: Film Preservation Classics. She defeated some very formidable opposition in Griselda’s Sofia Vergara, Brie Larson from Lessons in Chemistry, Juno Temple from Fargo, and Naomi Watts from Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.
