Yo Cher, Michael Douglas is really happy for you and this may have finished nearly 40 years ago, but Glenn Close had one of the best performances of all time. We’re paraphrasing here, but this is essentially what Douglas said on a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, where he reunited with his Fatal Attraction co-star. Close mentioned how she was set to receive an honorary Academy Award this year, and quipped that “they probably don’t want to feel guilty anymore.” Of course, Close has received eight competitive Oscar nominations over the years, but has never won any of them. On the couch next to her, Douglas interjects to say that Close “should have won with Fatal Attraction,” which was her fourth nomination and her first in the Leading Actress category. Cher won for Moonstruck instead, Douglas reminds, to which Norton responds “Oh, wow.” Says Douglas: “I know, that’s what we all said… Glenn gave one of the greatest performances of all time.”
