Despite the fact that her monologue didn't really make sense... her acting was so great and it was awesome to see. I'm also still not over the snub she experienced for RFAD so it would be cool to see her get nominated.
Let's be real here- Close only has a chance at being nominated for Hillbilly Elegy because she's Glenn Close.
Ellen Burstyn has a legitimately excellent performance as Vanessa Kirby's mother in Pieces of a Woman, but I believe she was miscast. At 88, she looks way too old be the mother of the Kirby, 32.
Glenn Close, at 73, would have been more believable as Kirby's mother, and given her acting skills, could have probably performed on par with fellow legend Burstyn.
Assuming she had been cast instead, would Close be running away with the Oscar this year? If she had been nominated for the movie, could she have also boosted Kirby in the lead category?
(Fun fact: Close's RL daughter is the same age as Kirby!)
except she’s young. But everything else has parallels for me. The drugs, the desperation, the fame obsession...She’s a Sara Goldberg in the making. Also CC definitely reads here as obsessively as she does everything else 😁
