Glenn Close says Gwyneth Paltrow's 1999 Oscar win 'didn't make sense' - Page Six

According to Glenn Close, the Academy missed the mark when it awarded Gwyneth Paltrow a best actress win in 1999 for “Shakespeare In Love.”

During an interview with ABC News’ “Popcorn with Peter Travers,” the “Hillbilly Elegy” star, 73, praised actress Fernanda Montenegro, whose powerful performance in “Central Station” Close feels triumphed Paltrow’s

“I remember the year Gwyneth Paltrow won over that incredible actress who was in ‘Central Station’ and I thought, ‘What?’ It doesn’t make sense.”

Other Best Actress nominees that year included Meryl Streep for “One True Thing,” Cate Blanchett for “Elizabeth” and Emily Watson for “Hilary and Jackie.”
