Looking directly in the camera, she passionately ended with: “I say, (expletive) them!”
Close’s illustrious and revered career includes wins at mostly ever major awards show. She is a three-time winner at the Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony Awards. She’s earned three Grammy nominations and competed at the Oscars with the films “The World According to Garp,” “The Big Chill,” “The Natural,” “Fatal Attraction,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Albert Nobbs,” “The Wife” and “Hillbilly Elegy.”
The actor said a year after being homebound because of the pandemic, she really enjoyed seeing her peers at the socially distanced Academy Awards.
“It was wonderful. I mean, they were very strict,” Close said. “We were tested up the wazoo as we had to be. But I’ll tell you what I loved about the Oscars … you got to talk to people whose work you had seen and loved. I got to talk to the wonderful Korean woman who won in my category; got to meet Maria (Bakalova), who was also in my category, the wonderful young actress from Bulgaria.
“And that’s what we need to do. You need to be able to mix with your own kind and … be able to express your appreciation and how much you’ve been inspired by them. And that meant a lot, I think, to everybody,” she said.
One of the last projects Close worked on before the pandemic hit was a spoken word jazz album with Grammy-winning musician Ted Nash. It was released Friday and recorded in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
