Actress Glenn Close has it all: a career spanning over 40 years, three Golden Globes, three Tony Awards and three Emmys. She just doesn't have an Oscar. Yet.

Close received a supporting actress nod in the 2021 Oscars for her role as Mamaw in Hillbilly Elegy, bringing her career total of Academy Award nominations to eight. She is now tied with Peter O'Toole, who died in 2013, for most acting nominations without a win. (O'Toole won the non-competitive honorary Oscar in 2003.)
