After 8 Nominations without a Win, Glenn Close Is 'Overwhelmed' by Honorary Oscar
The honor recognizes her body of work after eight acting nominations without a competitive win, and Close plans to share the statuette with Bozeman, Montana.
- On Sunday, the Academy Board will present the Academy Honorary Award to 79-year-old actor Glenn Close at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles, recognizing her body of work and contributions to the motion picture industry.
- While Close initially felt she did not 'need a consolation prize,' she now calls the recognition 'incredibly special' after a career spanning over 50 years and her first nomination 43 years ago.
- Reflecting on her history with the Oscars, Close recalls the 'most beautiful little velvet dress' designed by Ann Roth for her first nomination in 'The Big Chill' and marveling at Madonna's 'fabulous' white fur.
- Close plans to share her statuette with the community of Bozeman, Montana, potentially displaying it at a 'fantastic bakery called the Wild Crumb,' though she has not yet discussed the idea with them.
- Maintaining her mantra that 'it's an honor to be nominated,' the actor says she has 'the DNA of an outsider' and continues working, appearing this year in 'Bola Negra,' 'All's Fair,' and a new 'Hunger Games' movie.
