In my opinion, This is one actress that needs an Oscar!!! Piper is always brilliant and wonderful. She never given less than an excellent performance this woman is amazing. I love her perfomance in Carrie and she should have a Oscar for this movie. I hope she to get an Oscar in the near future, she is (for me) the Best!!!

I also feel she should've won for Carrie by a hair over Beatrice Straight (the actual winner who, no matter how small her performance, did more than many actresses do today and also impressed me more).

When i saw Carrie, i thought she was so creepy and played the 'mad old woman' perfectly.
I found out she was nominated for the best supporting actress oscar-i thought 'wow whoever won must have been good'
I saw Network expecting to see a really good supporting performance, one that would be good enough to top Piper's in Carrie. It was upsetting to see Beatrice Strait win for a cameo sized role, she was good but had nothing on Piper Laurie in Carrie.
Carrie was a ghoulish (almost B-grade) horror film (I Love the movie Carrie by the way)
and Network was an A-list soffisticated drama-the type of film the Academy always rule in favor of (despite how good other performances were) -

I'd love to say she should've won for CARRIE, but the only nominee I've seen besides her is Straight.

I'll second that motion Piper should've won best actress for The Hustler same as Paul Newman should've won best Actor but in that case I can see why Max Schell won over him
