Glenn Close is finally getting an Oscar. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday that she will receive an honorary Academy Award at the annual Governors Awards. Close, an eight-time nominee, is known for her emotional range and complex characters. The awards often honor artists with legendary careers but no competitive Oscar. Director Ridley Scott and animator Floyd Norman will also receive honorary Oscars. Scott, known for films like “Alien” and “Gladiator,” has been nominated four times without a win. Norman is celebrated for breaking barriers and inspiring generations of artists.
