'Why hasn't Glenn Close won any Oscars?'

The straights still don't get it.

[quote]She's a phenomenal actress and among one of the greats. She was beyond convincing and disturbingly iconic in Fatal Attraction and the fact that she lost to Cher?? I love Cher so nothing against her, but come on now :/

[quote]She also lost (she was nominated for Dangerous Liasons) to Jodie Foster in The Accused, which i also don't get?? I saw The Accussed and thought it was a mediocre Tv-movie. To think it was more deserving than Glenn in Dangerous Liasons? Absolutely ridiculous.

Because Cher beat her.

If you want an Oscar, it really helps if the Academy likes your movie, and Glenn hasn't starred in a Best Picture nominee since Dangerous Liaisons (although Reversal of Fortune definitely would have been a nominee in an expanded Best Picture lineup). Albert Nobbs (which at least got Janet McTeer a nomination alongside Glenn), The Wife, and the despised Hillbilly Elegy were always shaky vehicles for Close in an era where most acting winners come from movies that earn Best Picture nominations.

The moment Glenn has a good role in a movie that the Academy responds to favorably, she'll win.

Peter O'Toole never won a competitive Oscar. He gave many more memorable performances than G.

Donald Sutherland was never even nominated.

The straights don't get it because the straights don't care because the straights, like Glenn Close, are nearly dead or will be within the next decade.

The only people who give a fat rat's arse are weirdo invested obsessives. OP - that's your cue.
