| Richard Burton got his 7th (and last) Oscar nomination for ''Equus'' (1977). He told friends that he really wanted to win it, having lost 6 times before. And Burton did win the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama, often a precursor for that season's Oscar winner. So I can only imagine his hurt and disappointment when the envelope was opened at the Academy Awards, and it was announced that the winner was ''Richard,'' but not ''Richard Burton,'' but ''Richard Dreyfuss'' for ''The Goodbye Girl.'' Such are the vagaries of awards. Some are fortunate to win on their first try, while others can be nominated multiple times and never win. |

| After Dangerous Liaisons? Fatal Atrraction? The Natural? Big Chill? Albert Nobbs? The Wife? Garp? Tinning an Oscar for this crap? What an insult. She herself has mocked the Oscars, particularly for giving the award to Gwenythbover Fernanda Montenegro (indeed, the greatest Oscar crime since Judy in 1954). It’s Yuh-Jung Youn’s to lose. |

| I wonder why Close didn't win for her 7th Oscar bid (for ''The Wife''). She WON the precursor prizes: SAG, the Golden Globe and Critics' Choice. (I'm not a fan of ''Hillbilly Elegy,'' which has earned Close an Oscar AND Razzie nomination. I'd rather see her win for ''Sunset Blvd.'' someday.) |

| She’s a total ham. And while other hams have won before, it’s Yuh-Jung Youn‘s to lose (for one of the greatest supporting performances in recent memory). Really, awarding Glenn Close for “Hillbilly Elegy” after Dangerous Liaisons? Garp? Fatal Attraction? What an insult. |
