Glenn Close will finally get her hands on an Oscar<\/a>.<\/p>\n Long considered among the best actors to never win one, the eight-time nominee<\/a> will get an honorary Academy Award along with director Ridley Scott<\/a> and animator Floyd Norman at the annual Governors Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday. <\/p>\n \u201cThroughout her extraordinary body of work, Glenn Close\u2019s unparalleled emotional range has brought to life some of the most complex characters in cinema,” the academy said in a statement. “Floyd Norman is the legendary animator who has broken barriers and inspired generations of artists over his remarkable career. Sir Ridley Scott is a true visionary whose decades-long legacy has left an immeasurable impact on global cinema and culture.” <\/p>\n Close’s nominations date back to 1983, when she got her first nod for \u201cThe World According to Garp.\u201d She was also nominated for her blockbuster turn as a rabbit-slaying stalker in 1987’s \u201cFatal Attraction\u201d and was most recently up for a statuette for 2020’s \u201cHillbilly Elegy.\u201d <\/p>\n Her eight nominations tie her with Peter O’Toole for the most for an actor without a win. <\/p>\n She has won virtually every other major award within reach, including three Emmys, three Tonys, three Grammys and three Golden Globes. <\/p>\n The Governors Awards often go to artists with extraordinary careers but no competitive Oscar. Tom Cruise, a recipient last year, is a case in point. <\/p>\n Scott, the 88-year-old director of \u201cAlien,” \u201cBlade Runner\u201d and \u201cGladiator\u201d whose epic decades of work have blended popular success and prestige like few others, has also never won despite four nominations, including best director nods for \u201cThelma & Louise\u201d and \u201cBlack Hawk Down.\u201d <\/p>\n Producers Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler will get the academy’s Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. The Thalberg award is \u201cpresented to a creative producer whose body of work reflects a consistently high quality of motion picture production,\u201d the academy said.<\/p>\n Norman’s 65-year career began in 1956 when he became the first Black animator for Walt Disney Animation Studios, contributing to \u201cSleeping Beauty,\u201d \u201cMary Poppins,\u201d \u201cThe Jungle Book” and Robin Hood.\u201d Decades later, he would work on \u201cMulan,\u201d \u201cToy Story 2\u201d and \u201cMonsters, Inc.\u201d<\/p>\n All the winners will be honored at a Hollywood ceremony on Nov. 15. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
