Oscar [Nominee] ... Glenn Close. This is true in any category. OK, so I'll write down the Dinasztie Dictonary of Jingling Names: - Jane for Jane Fonda because... you know, she's a goddess. I guess we have to get back to this topic when I do 1988, which won't be in a long time. The anchor, the rock, the woman behind the man and the writer behind the writer. In Close’s case, the echoes from her past performances matter more than this one. Almost everything on this website is her fault. For her (what was really a leading role) work in The Big Chill, she lost to Linda Hunt. I rewatched it recently and she is terrifyingly unpredictable,she looks so sexy when we first see her,gc sexy!!! It was a box-office success that earned six Oscar nominations, including a nod for Close. But her best performance is Sunny Von Bülov in Reversal of Fortune. I think it's one of the 5 most brilliant female performances of all-time. It was her first Oscar nomination, but no one really thought she would win. Fatal Attraction is an excellent movie. Fatal Attraction a star at Academy Awards. Shame, then, that she played her role so amazingly well that she scared the living hell out of the largely male Academy, who opted for Cher's lighter--and inferior--performance. Wow, I thought Viola Davis was unbelievable in The Help and she gave the best performance. Yeah mrripley, that's what I heard, too. :D. Anonymous the 88 race was not between Griffith and Foster it was between Close 5 TIME NOMINEE IN A BEST PIC and Weaver X 3 NOMINEE AND A DOUBLE NOMINEE with Foster the outside with a big chance. Menu. But her whole name is Jane Fonda, the fantastic. Mmh,i guess we will never know.What i recall is that Weaver was considered a lock for supporting category and Davis was HUGE surprise.But again,The Accidental tourist clearly has supporters within academy.Griffith is considered favorite and "it girl" and Working girl not only was best pic contender,but also big hit with prestigious director.Close was in best picture contender,but (just like Weaver's in W.Girl)the role lacks screen time.Foster is almost in every scene,role was showy and her comeback.We can agree that race was very close and that Foster won by a thin margin. In fact, Close’s best performance as Sunny Von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune wasn’t even nominated. mrripley: I wouldn't vote for Cher over Great Glenn but whatever. Sherry Lansing. The only way Glenn Close is winning an Oscar this year is if people take into consideration her entire career and make up for all of the times she didn’t win. No one can complain about that one. She couldn’t win Best Actress for Frances because she was up against Meryl Streep for Sophie’s Choice and nobody was going to beat her. Great Glenn Close received her fourth Oscar nomination for playing Alex Forrest, a lonely, psychotic woman who's after a man with whom she had a brief affair in the movie Fatal Attraction. :) Great Glenn won... :D. Absolutely agree that Close gave an outstanding performance. This and Whoopi's snub for the Color Purple are two of the Oscars great mistakes. Considering the hit status of Fatal Attraction and the fact that Great Glenn had already received three Oscar nominations must have made her a serious contender for the Academy Award. I honestly think this is only Oscar worthy performance Glenn Close has ever given. Release Calendar DVD & Blu-ray Releases Top ... Oscar [Nominee] Best Picture Stanley R. Jaffe. What I appreciate most about Glenn's performance is her ferocious attempts to eschew the film's occasional interest in turning Alex into too pulpy a villain, and in an interview recently I remembered her saying that, for her, Alex wasn't just a jealous harpy but a woman with an actual mental illness. Lange had to win supporting actress for Tootsie because she couldn’t win for Frances. Perfection. Getting work worthy of an Oscar is even harder. In my opinion, Ellen Hamilton Latzen was also worthy of the nomination (I know, I know...), 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936. And you just see the blood. Glenn Close, in contrast, plays The Wife, but it’s a slow burn, a meditation, a Bergman-esque deep dive into a character who has been living a lie for a lifetime. That vomiting is brilliant as well. :) Dazzling Aura: My favorite is the one where she cuts her wrists and starts kissing Dan. It is a shame that it is like that, but that is how it is. And this year that person seems to be Lady Gaga. If Great Glenn is not nominated, I'm going to root for Viola (her performance as Aibileen is my favorite of the year so far). Though by then, Cher already had quite a few performances under her belt. I think she's just spectacular there. However, the woman who’s name is synonymous with “Hollywood star” came from highly unusual beginnings. Menu. Cher completely stole the Oscar from her, I still don't understand how Glenn lost that year!!!! :). It’s all about timing and luck. She transformed herself for Moonstruck like Gaga has done for A Star is Born. But really, as with Cher, this is more about falling in love. :). I think overdue factor definitely exists,but whats more important is how much your film is liked.The reader and the fighter were clearly liked by the academy,and that with possible overdue factor is enough for the win.I don't think Donna Reed or Grace Kelly were huge surprises either.From here to eternity was academy's darling and overdue factor still didn't help Ritter.Again,if H.Fonda won based on overdue factor solely,why Hepburn won 4th Oscar for on golden pond?Its very important that your film is very liked. Whether she’s playing a love-obsessed psycho in Fatal Attraction or a puppy-obsessed villain in 101 Dalmatians, Glenn Close asks audiences to take an eventful journey with her every time she appears onscreen.It’s an adventure everyone’s willing to embark on. Whereas men win for difficult, complicated roles, women often win because they are the ones everyone falls in love with for a few months out of the year. :D I have these nicknames for my favortie actresses. Among his most celebrated films is Fatal Attraction, the hit thriller starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close that shocked millions when it came out in 1987 and earned six Oscar … (I saw Albert Nobbs too)I think she is theater actress and she belongs to theater,but here,she deserved Oscar. :) It didn't even make the top 10 list. It would be weird any other way. I heard that Great Glenn was considered a potenital winner in 1988 because of her losses. I think all the Oscar nominations were richly deserved for this movie and I guess Michael Douglas would have been deservedly nominated, too had it not been for his Oscar winning turn in Wall Street. to anon:I think Foster won because of the showiness of her film. SEE Glenn Close loses at Oscars for 7th time, setting a new record among actresses Close ended the ’80s Oscar-less despite five bids. And there was no way she was going to beat Meryl Streep in the Iron Lady if Viola Davis couldn’t. :) But Octavia is also fantastic. And then, for Dangerous Liaisons she went up against Jodie Foster for The Accused in Best Actress. Actresses were titans back then. Movies. Great Glenn Close received her fourth Oscar nomination for playing Alex Forrest, a lonely, psychotic woman who's after a man with whom she had a brief affair in the movie Fatal Attraction. Hunt gave one of the all time greatest ever supporting performances in The Year of Living Dangerously. Finally, here she is as The Wife. I still strongly believe that Great Glenn has a chance of winning, á lá Jeff Bridges -> not getting much love from critics but wins BFCA, Globe and SAG + overdue factor + gender-bending role (they love it) + passion project + they are not jerk offs enough not to vote for her after 5 losses (they used to do it, but nowadays people say what they did not use to say) = Oscar. !the lamp scene breaks me up everytime,we should hate her yet we are sympathising with her,we all know what it feels like and she gets that over powerfully,i love the scene where she is looking at the apartment too,anne is obliviously wonderful but she shows an inkling of something.the confrontation scene works due to glenn.i would still've given the oscar to Cher or lilian gish though. She took a risk and it paid off. I've read that. To make matters a little more surreal, Glenn Close lost for her brilliant, memorable performance in Fatal Attraction to another singer-turned-actress known for her extravagant outfits and campy performances — yes, that’s right, she lost to Cher for Moonstruck. Adrian Lyne is very talented at creating tension (in every way) and he's just great here. FA is one of my favorite because of its realistic story, even now there still Alex Forrest everywhere, i think. And for course, there’s her (in)famous performance in Fatal Attraction. :D. The confusing thing is that Close in 1987 never was favorite.She has zero critic awards,she didn't even won golden globe.It was all between Hunter and Cher with Kirkland as a posible upset.In 1988 she was considered as a filler.Race was between Foster and Griffith with Weaver as a possible upset. Nor Lauren Bacall. You could use that with Siggy, too like, say, Superb Sigourney or something. She made enough of a name for herself as the wacky feminist icon Jenny Garp that it launched her career. I'd say she's given 5 Oscar-worthy performances. But she may not even be nominated, which is sad. But the car scene is very-very close. It likely isn’t headed for a Best Picture nomination, which would help Close. Movies. :) Had I lived back then and watched, I would have cried at Great Glenn's loss. But more on that year in January. You either get that one lucky late career break, like Julianne Moore with Still Alice and, better yet, Helen Mirren with The Queen, or you lose out to the one everyone falls in love with. It’s a dazzling, brilliant, moving, accomplished performance. "Look what you've reduced me too...", That's her name, I always call her that. Of course, that year Jessica Lange made Frances and Tootsie. You know, time always tells which performances are really good. It was the last era of that because things would change in the next decade as actresses became younger and less powerful in Hollywood. And nowadays her performances are the ones that are considered iconic. Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture, Best Foreign Actor (Migliore Attore Straniero), Best Foreign Actress (Migliore Attrice Straniera), Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures, Original Retrospective Documentary, Library Release, Best Album of Original Instrumental Background Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television, Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. For Gaga, it’s obviously more than her being a hot young thing. Again, an impossible win against a great performance. Fatal Attraction, which turns 30 on Sept. 18, has built a complex legacy since its release. Hers was not only the best by an actress of 1987 but of the entire decade. An Oscar win for her would be a career Oscar, and how voters feel about that depends on how they feel about the other contenders in the race. Winning an Oscar after a certain age is nearly impossible. :) I took it as a big fight between Great Glenn and Fatal Attraction. Fatal Attraction is a 1987 American psychological thriller film directed by Adrian Lyne from a screenplay written by James Dearden, based on his 1980 short film Diversion.Starring Michael Douglas, Glenn Close and Anne Archer, the film centers on a married man who has a weekend affair with a woman who refuses to allow it to end and becomes obsessed with him. I mean, someone called Melissa Leo overdue. For The Natural, she lost supporting actress to Peggy Ashcroft for A Passage to India. For women (and especially women of color) just getting work is a battle. ;). :) But Great Glenn is my favorite nickname, hands down. And here we are yet again. OK, conclusion: My favorite scene is her whole performance. But I guess having it compete with much heavyweight roles, she could not have won.
