Glenn Close- a great actress

I've always liked Glenn Close as an actress. She was great as an unhinged, spurned lover in Fatal Attraction but she was equally good in Dangerous Liasons. I also liked her in The Big Chill. Her work has been versatile and diverse.
Her TV work in The Shield and Damages is also wonderful. I think her role in the latter as Patty is one of her best- devious and manipulative.

What do you think?

She's been nominated for an Oscar 6 times but has never won. Ridiculous.

Agreed she is good but is she worth her own thread?

Absolutely. She's extremely underrated. It's criminal that she hasn't won an Oscar but Sandra Bullock, Marisa Tomei and Julia Roberts have.

She had a great turn on The Shield, and I like her in The Paper as well.

So you're saying she's come very close to winning?

Her best shot might be if they ever get that Sunset Boulevard musical made into a film, if she still gets the Norma Desmond role.

I can't believe I live in a world where these two are wandering the earth as Academy Award winners.
