A BLAZING work of cinematic mastery as Sydney Lumet provides us with an Oscar Nominated film of 1976 with performances that will live on in film history from Oscar winners Peter Finch (posthumously) and Faye Dunaway and an indelible turn by William Holden who was also nominated as Best Actor. The film almost seems prophetic as newscast stations have turned cutthroat through the years. The big twist of the film and public reaction became big news in and out of the cinema and the newsroom. Supporting Actress BEATRICE STRAIGHT pulled off the upset of 1976 as she waltzed to an Oscar in merely a few short scenes from NETWORK. Paddy Chayefsky well deserved his Oscar for material written directly for the screen. It's a perfect script.
