This woman deserve an Oscar


I can't believe she hasn't won one yet. They need to give her an honorary Oscar soon. Dangerous Liaisons is my favourite movie of all time, even though Keanu Reeves try to wreck it.

You are so right. This is my opinion: Glenn Close is Meryl Streep's acting equal. Maybe she doesn't play the same kind of roles as Meryl (for example: ones where she speaks in accents) but every time she plays a role, you completely believe in the character, 100%. It doesn't matter what she's playing, she's incredible! I was so pissed with the Academy for a long time, for not awarding her the Best Actress Oscar for FATAL ATTRACTION, in 1987. I mean....what more could you POSSIBLY ask for in a performance?!!! It's true that Alex wasn't a like-able character, but Glenn was so incredibly convincing in the role that it just seems wrong she didn't win the Oscar, even considering the year's competition.

still can't believe she lost to Cher in 1988.
