I never noticed the beautiful shelves that line this apartment before! Anyway I always think about the "Supporting Actress Smackdown" at StinkyLulu's old site whenever I think about Beatrice Straight's Oscar-winning performance in Network - see the Smackdown itself right here (Straight loses to Piper Laurie in Carrie which I certainly can find no fault with) but also make sure you check out Lulu's longer-form piece on that specific performance, it's worth the read.
I do think Straight is very fine in the brief few minutes of screen-time she has in the movie but I'm glad Lulu focuses in on an earlier scene in the movie where we first meet her character as she moves about her shared apartment with William Holden one morning happily, setting up the same space that will later turn sour in their famous confrontation scene, aka what won her the Oscar and what you see in these gifs here. Watch if you like:
