(Photo by Michael Tran/FilmMagic) Michael Tran—FilmMagic  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Sep 8, 2016 9:59 PM UTC Sarah Paulson’s portrayal of [head prosecutor Marcia Clark](http://time.com/2926390/10-questions-with-marcia-clark/) in [_The People v O.J. Simpson_](http://time.com/4193893/review-the-people-v-o-j-simpson-american-crime/) has received its share of accolades from her commitment to the role (that perm is proof enough of her dedication) to humanizing Clark’s position during the trial. In fact, [it’s been heavily predicted that she’ll take home the Emmy](http://time.com/4405991/emmy-nominations-2016/) for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or a movie, particularly as this is her fifth year in a row being nominated. If Paulson does take home the honor, however, she’ll have the real-life Marcia Clark by her side. _Access Hollywood_ confirmed on Thursday that Clark will be attending the awards ceremony as Paulson’s plus-one. “I was incredibly honored that Sarah asked me to go with her to the Emmys,” she said. “It will be my privilege to be there to cheer her on.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4484666/sarah-paulson-marcia-clark-emmys/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4484666/sarah-paulson-marcia-clark-emmys/"},"headline":"Sarah Paulson Is Taking Marcia Clark to The Emmy Awards","datePublished":"2016-09-08T21:59:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:20.925Z","description":"The actress is nominated for her role in \"The People v.
