RichAssPiss 4,931 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have seen The Wife and, for an indie film, it had a decent audience and made $8 million in the U.S. It is a small film, but there is no reason Glenn should not win. I love Gaga but it is hard to compete with an actress who has six Oscar nominations and 45 years of experience. I don't think it would be remembered solely as an overdue Oscar for Glenn. The Wife is a solid movie and, of course, she is brilliant in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close already has 2 Golden Globes under her belt, there was nothing overdue But the Globes fancy themselves as a precursor to the Oscars where Close is an infamous six time loser, a record she shares with Thelma Ritter and Deborah Kerr. That's what the OP is referring to, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ode 1,530 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I loved "The Wife." I think it's interesting that two of the three frontrunners--Close and Gaga--in the race this year were notably understated and underplayed performances. Coleman's over the top performance is the outlier in terms of tone. but in general I am still hopeful... I think there is a camp of voters who will vote for Gaga and a camp who will vote for anyone besides Gaga on principal. The reason she didn't stand a chance tonight is that Coleman and Close were in different categories, meaning that the votes of that non-Gaga camp weren't split between Coleman and Close like they will be at the Oscars. When the non-Gaga camp splinters into Coleman and Close camps, I think Gaga has more of a chance to compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodandsmile 10,658 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The Wife was okay but Close was magnificent in it and totally deseves her win. The look on her face during "the acceptance speech" scene alone makes a good winner. Let's not be bitter and criticize her win on the basis of nothing! Y'all fave didn't leave the building empty handed, so let's be grateful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God your words are so rude. Someone hurt you today? You do know GG and CriticChoice tend to decide winners for Oscars prediction,right? Like they usually want to lead the whole award season trend and cause a sweep for the actors/actresses. (For example, they awarded Allison/Sam/Frances last year and caused a following sweep for them even though most of the awards before GG awarded Laurie/Willem/Sally.) So I mean...I believe some of the HFPA members voted just because they knew Close is an overdue actress and tried to set a following award sweep for her. And when we talked about "overdue" about the actors/actresses, we generally refer to Oscars, don't we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus 4,485 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (Of course I'm rooting for Gaga cuz she's my Queen and I love her but) I just watched The Wife and Glenn deserves every award she gets this season. -𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐌𝐀™ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except - and sorry for repeating myself - that's the Golden Globes we're talking about... I know the Globes are considered the antechamber of the Oscars, but though they can be an indicator, saying both ceremonies always mirror each other would be a blatant lie. If it were the case, there would be literally 0 suspense to the Oscars. And gosh, was I rude? A bit pissed would be quite right, but rude, I mean....

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The Wife was not the best movie of the season, and yes Glenn’s Oscar is overdue, but to be honest, if she wins it , it won’t be less deserving. Sometimes an Oscar is also about recognising a great artist and Gleen deserves it. Who cares if it’s not her best performance, it’s a powerful role with a complex character and Glenn Close is an Oscar-worthy actress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
