Glenn Close, Buzzing In an Oscar Nod for “The Wife,” Receives Museum of Moving Image Honor

Glenn Close– who ought to have an Oscar along with perhaps is certain to get one this occassion for “The Wife” — is becoming another big award first. Glenn will get the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award on the Museum in the Moving Image come December 3rd.

Glenn joins a good and austere report on highly rated actors who’ve been honored because of the MMI including Annette Bening, Warren Beatty, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, Goldie Hawn, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Hugh Jackman, Steve Martin, Julianne Moore, Al Pacino, Sidney Poitier, Julia Roberts, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Jimmy Stewart. Whew!

“The Wife,” directed by Bjorn Runge, opens in the future in The big apple and Chicago, and it is sporting an excellent 95 on Rotten Tomatoes. Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater, and Max Irons co-star. Using a novel by Meg Wolitzer, Glenn plays the loyal wife of a writer who win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. On Stockholm these are swept, where Slater– a dogged and charming journalist– is decided to unearth secrets. And the man does.

Sony Pictures Classics hosted a swell mid summer soiree on the Monkey Bar a week ago for all these people. Glenn Close was beaming. She has many Oscar noms, no wins. This may be it if — if Gaga, Saorise Ronan and few others don’t impede. I do believe this is Close’s year. How much more talented could she be? She’s also opening at the Public Theater in September in Jane Anderson’s “Mother of your Maid” (Anderson wrote the “Wife” screenplay). Fingers are crossed for that Broadway transfer in the winter.

As for that MMI Award, you already know they receive a number of pals into the future make toasts. So expect Michael Douglas from Glenn’s most popular movie, “Fatal Attraction,” plus great co-star like Janet McTeer, maybe Jeff Bridges, as well as some Dalmatians!
