Glenn Close is one of our greatest actresses, but she has been a perennial bridesmaid at the Oscars, amassing an 0-8 track record. Close will finally become an Oscar winner, albeit an honorary one, at the 17th Governors Awards on Sunday, Nov. 15. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is presenting the awards at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood in partnership with Rolex.
The academy’s Board of Governors also voted to present Academy Honorary Awards to director Ridley Scott and animator Floyd Norman and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award to producers Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler.
