Now, while on a press junket for her new memoir, La Burstyn offers her own perspective on the Emmy controversy:

When they told me I was nominated for that I went, `What, are you kidding?' ... The brouhaha around it, you know, they tried to reach me for a statement. I said, `This doesn't have anything to do with me. I don't even want to know about this. You people work it out yourself.' ... I thought it was fabulous. My next ambition is to get nominated for seven seconds, and, ultimately, I want to be nominated for a picture in which I don't even appear. (link)
