Glenn Close didn’t think that Gwyneth Paltrow should have won her Best Actress Oscar

This is the worst kept secret in Hollywood...or one of the many. Not the only person in the entertainment industry who thinks this way - heard about this YEARS ago. [/b]
Glenn Close is still a little surprised by Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1999 Oscar win. In an interview with ABC News’ Popcorn with Peter Travers, Close, 73, opened up about her new Netflix movie Hillbilly Elegy, as well as her feelings about industry awards shows. Close said performances can’t be compared to each other, using Paltrow’s Academy Award win for Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love as an example of a choice that didn’t “make sense” to her.
“I honestly feel that to be nominated by your peers is about as good as it gets. And then, I’ve never understood how you could honestly compare performances, you know?” said Close. “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…. So I think who wins has a lot of things to do with how things have been, you know, whether it has traction or whatever. Publicity, how much money did they have to put it out in front of everybody’s sight. I have to be philosophical about it, if I was upset about it….”
In March 1999, Paltrow, 26 years old at the time, won the category, which also included: Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth; Fernanda Montenegro for Central Station; Meryl Streep for One True Thing; and Emily Watson for Hilary and Jackie.

Aside: she won it because of her Daddy. And talk I heard and what I believe because of some experience of knowing actors/studying with them, is that actors interact with/react/form connections with their fellow actors. Paltrow just wasn't doing that, and you can see it in her performance. She's the only one who matters. Playing to herself, almost.
