She is also known for her role as Shirley Schmidt on the ABC drama Boston Legal (2005–2008). In films, Bergen was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Starting Over (1979) and for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Gandhi (1982).

The 71st Academy Awards ceremony, organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best of 1998 in film and took place on March 21, 1999, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles beginning at 5:30 p.m. PST / 8:30 p.m. EST. 

During the ceremony, AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 24 categories. The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC, was produced by Gil Cates and directed by Louis J. Horvitz. Actress Whoopi Goldberg hosted the show for the third time..She first hosted the 66th ceremony held in 1994 and had last hosted the 68th ceremony in 1996.

Parties attended by celebrities in the hours following the Academy Awards have been held since the beginning of the awards themselves, with the first Academy Awards presentation held on May 16, 1929, at a private dinner function at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with an audience of about 270 people, being followed by a post-awards party held at the Mayfair Hotel. 

In 1958, an Oscar party called the Governors Ball was initiated, and over time became "the one Oscar party where almost everyone makes an appearance".

Vanity Fair is known for holding such a party every year, and the influence of the sponsor can be roughly measured by the caliber of the celebrities that attend their party. The Vanity Fair Oscars Party, first held in 1994, is considered to be one of the premiere Oscar parties, often seeing appearances by the biggest stars of the day.

She made her Broadway debut in the 1984 play Hurlyburly and starred in the revivals of The Best Man (2012) and Love Letters (2014).
