Hillbilly Elegy (2020)
2019 Nominee Oscar Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role

If this keeps up she should win a special Oscar for lifetime achievement.

I was sure she would win for The Wife. Not just because of so many prior nominations, but because she was superb in the picture and deserved it that year.

Loved her in Hillbilly Elegy.
She's has some very good roles, but I think the competition was very high for the years in which she was nominated.

Probably. Had no ideas she was nominated that many times.

she needs to lose her latest nom to equal O'Toole.

I think it's tougher to sit through shows for an American performer not winning from so many nominations. Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton were both BAFTA winners in Britain.

I've never warmed to her but she was certainly worthy of winning for LIAISONS.
I saw her on stage in SUNSET and she was great -and show was inventively staged and there are some nice tunes - she is so tiny though! -but if it ever gets filmed I hope they dial down treating Norma as a figure of fun, as she came across on stage - at the climax she came across like Gollum having a bad day (not Close's fault - as directed)) Swanson retains her dignity - I'd like Norma 2022 to do so.

She may not have won, but she has always been Close.

I was so thrilled when Olivia Colman won for THE FAVOURITE. The voters didn't do the expected thing. Glenn is always good, but the Oscar went to the right person that year.
She should have won for FATAL ATTRACTION. That was her iconic role, proven through 3 decades. Cher didn't have to win an Oscar.

I thought she was the best in The World According to Garp and should have won. Oscar had to compensate Jessica Lange for not going to win Best Actress against Meryl Streep.

This isn't something you want to be known for. I guess it depends on how you look at it... Many actors are not good actors and never get nominated. She's like in the "Top 10" kind of thing... She so good, she is always getting nominated... But, as another poster pointed out, there's always someone else who is apparently better who wins. The "Top 5" Winners = "Top 5" Nominated = "Top 10" Everyone Else = "Top 100", or don't even make anyone's Top lists. However, I am sure she would rather WIN, just once, than to be frequently NOMINATED.

btw, I just learn that she also got a Razzie nomination for Hillbilly Elegy. That is weird.  |

Not sure if Hillbilly Elegy is the movie I want her to win for. I liked it but so many make fun of it. Thought she was finally going to win for Albert Nobbs (2011), then The Wife (2017), she needs a lead actress win. She really deserved it for Dangerous Liaisons (1988), which is just exquisite. She's clearly the greatest nominee that year...sorry Jodie, but you'd win another in 1991. I don't think there's another actress whose raw abilities have thrilled me nearly as much over the years as Glenn Close. I make it a point to see her in everything because she's unpredictable and that's thrilling when she delivers. I haven't seen the musical Sunset Boulevard, and I wonder why they haven't made it into a movie by now, but I have a feeling Close would crush all the awards if they did.  |

You make a strong case but I can't go against Jodie Foster in 'The Accused'. Only now is Foster admitting about her obsessive, compulsive disorder with film and that was a groundbreaker in the worst way imaginable, not the latest hip adaptation of Chodelos De Laclos.
But how about 'Albert Nobbs'? Gamechanger, mark my words. Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady'? Right.

If Sunset Boulevard ever gets made, with Glenn in the lead, you know she will crush it. That will be her Oscar win.

The above gif is how I imagine GC must have felt when Streep won her 50th Oscar for playing Margaret Thatcher, when she is still Oscarless.

I agree. I see them together so much, I honestly think Meryl Streep would be happy to see Glenn Close with an Oscar for her life's work.
