'People vs OJ Simpson' Show: Will Sarah Paulson Win Overdue Emmy For Playing Marcia Clark? [VIDEO]
The latest episode of FX's American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson has many people talking about Sarah Paulson possibly winning an Emmy.
Paulson, who plays prosecutor Marcia Clark in the FX miniseries, had her biggest episode yet this week—an episode appropriately titled "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia." In it, Marcia deals with even more public scrutiny than before and is encouraged to "soften" her look.
As such, she gets a perm, and while confident at first, we see her façade crack as the media and pretty much everyone around her become even more critical. Paulson's heartbreaking, sympathetic performance has caused many viewers to proclaim she deserves an Emmy for the role.

Paulson has been nominated at the Emmys for the past four years in various roles. In 2011, she was nominated for playing Nicolle Wallace in the HBO TV movie Game Change. She was then nominated for playing Lana Winters in American Horror Story: Asylum, Cordelia Foxx in American Horror Story: Coven the next year and Bette and Dot Tattler in American Horror Story: Freak Show last year.
The actress has yet to win an Emmy in her career, but will all of this buzz allow her to pick up the elusive trophy in September? Only time will tell.
American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
