Golden Globes nominee profile: Glenn Close (‘Hillbilly Elegy’) looking to begin her road to an Oscar
Glenn Close finds herself in the awards race yet again with her performance in “Hillbilly Elegy.” As Mamaw, the feisty grandmother to J.D. Vance, the legendary actress survived the film’s mostly negative reception from critics and now has nominations from the Golden Globes and other major groups like Critics Choice and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. She is now on her way to a potential eighth nomination at the Oscars, where she is hoping to finally win that little gold man once and for all.
Close’s competition in Best Film Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes includes former Oscar rivals Olivia Colman (‘The Father”) and Jodie Foster (“The Mauritanian”). Close has by far the most Golden Globe nominations from this group with 15 previous bids, 13 of which are for acting, while Foster has eight previous nominations and Colman has a 3-for-3 record with two nominations this year as she also contends for “The Crown.
