\n\tSally Field won the Emmy for lead actress in a limited or anthology series or TV movie on Sunday, recognizing her portrayal of Tova Sullivan in the Netflix film \u201cRemarkably Bright Creatures.\u201d At 79, she is the oldest actress to win in this category, edging out Jessica Tandy (\u201cFoxfire\u201d in 1987) by months.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis is Field\u2019s 10th Emmy nomination and fourth win. She previously took home the gold for her roles in \u201cSybil\u201d (1977), \u201cER\u201d (2001) and \u201cBrothers & Sisters\u201d (2007).<\/p>\n
\n\tField was shocked as she took the stage to accept her trophy, and squealed before beginning her speech. \u201cThis was not supposed to supposed to happen! OK, I gotta talk really, really quick.\u201d But once she got going, she was fired up. \u201cI have been so grateful and so proud to be a part of this community \u2014 the arts \u2014 for 62 years or something,\u201d she continued. \u201cWith art, we matter. Our voices matter. Our diversity, our unique story telling matters.\u201d Seemingly referencing the pending merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, she added, \u201cWe can\u2019t let those voices be silenced or compromised or merged.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAlong with \u201cSybil,\u201d \u201cER\u201d and \u201cBrothers & Sisters,\u201d Field\u2019s best-known credits include playing the title role in \u201cNorma Rae\u201d (1979) and Edna Spalding in \u201cPlaces in the Heart\u201d (1984), which both earned her Academy Awards, and Mary Todd Lincoln in \u201cLincoln\u201d (2012), which earned her an Academy Award nomination.<\/p>\n
