These include the 1997 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Drama Series, the 1997 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and the 1996 Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television. Amongst the wins, she’s been nominated for an array of awards for the same character, including People’s Choice Awards, National Television Awards and Satellite Awards. It’s believed Anderson’s role as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully initiated a phenomenon known as “The Scully Effect”.
