First time in a very long while i'm looking forward to the academy awards. If you haven't seen (The Wife) film noteworthy as well the entire cast.

I stopped going to the movies when actors decided to mock what I believe. They have the right to express their opinion and I have the right to spend my money elsewhere.

I didn't see The Wife but I'm hoping if she wins an Academy Award for the role, it will come back to theaters. I was lucky enough to see Glenn Close twice on Broadway, in a Delicate Balance and Sunset Boulevard. I think she's one of the best actors of our time.

I usually don't watch award shows anymore though.

I agree that Ms Close's performance is certainly Oscar worthy. Since she has already received several awards for her performance, I hope she gets "the big one". As I stated in my review on the thread about The Wife, I was underwhelmed by the script and the rest of the cast especially "the husband". That's why it came as no surprise that nothing/no one else received a nomination.

I have a long standing admiration for Ms. Close and her work, going back to "The Natural", "The Big Chill" and "The World According to Garp". She is one of the few Hollywood "celebrities" for whom I still have a reasonable amount of respect.

The Wife! Most beautiful film and story told intelligently and beautifully acted too. I absolutely loved this movie. I have seen nine movies in the last two weeks. Many of these nominated for Academy Awards. The Wife is my favorite. With its many layers to peel back, it kept me enthralled from the very beginning. As the truth is is slowly revealed, we grow to understand what has actually been going on the entire time. Relationships are complicated. Times were different for many women decades before now. Glenn Close elevates the material. Deserves to win.

I loved seeing Glenn and Michael Douglas present together at the SAG awards, been over 30 years since their fatal attraction.

Looking forward to seeing it, it’s in my Netflix list.

She is a very fine actress.

I lost all respect for these so-called "celebrities". As they continue to speak their minds, I will continue to speak mine with my wallet.

The Wife is at Redbox now. Rented it last night. Great performance by Glenn. It’s a worthwhile rental. Happy I didn’t spend the big money at a theater. IMO Glenn is well deserving of an Oscar.

I love films, always have. Thank goodness I don't give a hoot what political opinion they opine if they are exceptionally talented at their job. That's what I'm going to the theater or my TV to see.

I am looking forward to seeing this movie.

I hope she wins as I feel she wrongly lost out on the Oscar for " Fatal

Attraction ....

I no longer watch award shows or late night TV for the reasons other posters have already mentioned, but I wish Glenn Close the very best. She's always been one of my favorite actresses. I haven't heard of The Wife, but I will make it a point to see it now.

@suzyQ3...A "political opinion" is one thing...It is the political insults, nasty ridicule and profanity that put it in a totally different arena....Also, it is not necessary to turn an awards show into a political rally...They can get together and hold their own political rallies if they so desire elsewhere.

This has nothing to do with what political party one belongs to...I respect others opinions and am bothered whenever I see anyone being targeted and besieged by such ridicule and ugliness.

This is not what we are tuning in to watch on an Awards Show.
