In 1998, Angelina Jolie starred in HBO's Gia, portraying supermodel Gia Carangi. Vanessa Vance from Reel.com noted, "Angelina Jolie gained wide recognition for her role as the titular Gia, and it's easy to see why. Angelina Jolie is fierce in her portrayal—filling the part with nerve, charm, and desperation—and her role in this film is quite possibly the most beautiful train wreck ever filmed." For the second consecutive year, Angelina Jolie won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy. She also won her first Screen Actors Guild Award.
