Zeta-Jones\u2019 Douglas \u2018ordeal\u2019 led to shock split<\/a><\/p>\nDuring the interview, Close discussed the news that she will receive an honorary Academy Award after landing eight nominations, including for Fatal Attraction, but failing to nab a win, which prompted Douglas to take a swipe at Cher.<\/p>\n
The musician and actress beat Close in the 1988 Best Actress category for her role in Moonstruck, an outcome which Douglas described as \u201cshocking\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Close] should have won for Fatal Attraction. Cher won that year,\u201d Douglas told Norton.<\/p>\n
After the host expressed shock over the win with a surprised \u201cwow\u201d, Douglas quipped, \u201cI know, that\u2019s what we all thought\u201d.<\/p>\n
The actor\u2019s playful jab garnered laughter from the audience and from Culkin and Ackie, who were seen covering their faces as they were reduced to hysterical laughter over the joke.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe shade! The shade!\u201d Ackie said, as Culkin shielded his smile with his hand. <\/p>\n
Douglas quickly explained how Close \u201cgave one of the best performances of all time\u201d for her role as crazed mistress Alex Forrest in the classic thriller.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have nothing against Cher, but it was a shocking situation,\u201d Douglas said. <\/p>\n
\u201cGlenn is to get an honorary Oscar, as she has been nominated eight times. It was amazing to work with her on Fatal Attraction,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
Cher pulled off a tough feat with her 1988 Oscar win, beating out nominees Close, Meryl Streep, Holly Hunter and Sally Kirkland for her portrayal of Brooklyn bookkeeper Loretta Castorini in Moonstruck.<\/p>\n
Close, meanwhile, has been unable to land an Oscar despite critically acclaimed roles and nominations for films like Dangerous Liaisons, Albert Nobbs and The Wife.<\/p>\n
The Academy will give Close \u2013 as well as Alien director Ridley Scott and Disney animator Floyd Norman \u2013 an honorary Oscar later this month, ahead of the 99th edition of the awards show in March, 2027. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey vote to give honorary Oscars, and they probably don\u2019t want to feel guilty anymore,\u201d Close joked of her unfortunate Oscar losing streak on The Graham Norton Show. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Douglas had his fellow chat show guests in stitches after throwing some cheeky shade at Cher\u2019s Oscar-winning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":950670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[517495,517507,517499,517474,343850,89838,517472,460188,517470,517469,381350,517484,379171,390915,517490,1975,517479,517494,96093,474881,517463,517465,517473,64,63,517477,1581,45639,517505,15452,517496,517497,517492,517489,517493,517467,65099,517481,517500,134,156127,1972,221994,141600,517509,515117,380405,517466,517503,517483,377168,497124,517480,517502,517491,517501,142865,450009,221073,30132,14158,13819,517464,517478,154445,517498,517485,91596,261625,455202,517468,37042,46105,517506,1974,299488,436119,517508,517504,379529,380250,517486,517475,517471,385521,122803,517482,389310,383892,382037,385100,376754,517488,169231,22514,517476,377140,462715,517487,131957],"class_list":["post-950669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-s-fatal-attraction-obsessed","tag-s-interview-diss","tag-s-oscar-winning-moonstruck-performance","tag-s-playful-jab","tag-343850","tag-89838","tag-a-chat-show-appearance","tag-a-headlinemore","tag-a-shocking-situation","tag-a-surprised-wow","tag-a-swipe","tag-a-tough-feat","tag-a-win","tag-a-lister","tag-ackie","tag-actors","tag-albert-nobbs","tag-alien-director-ridley-scott-and","tag-all-time","tag-an-oscar","tag-an-honorary-academy-award","tag-an-honorary-oscar","tag-an-outcome","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brooklyn-bookkeeper-loretta-castorini","tag-celebrity-news","tag-cher","tag-cher-the-musician-and-actress","tag-close","tag-crazed-mistress-alex-forrest","tag-critically-acclaimed-roles-and-nominations","tag-culkin","tag-culkin-and-ackie","tag-dangerous-liaisons","tag-disney-animator-floyd-norman","tag-douglas","tag-eight-nominations","tag-eight-times","tag-entertainment","tag-fatal-attraction","tag-films","tag-glenn","tag-glenn-close","tag-her-1988-oscar-win","tag-her-portrayal","tag-her-role","tag-her-unfortunate-oscar-losing-streak","tag-his-fellow-celeb-guests","tag-his-fellow-chat-show-guests","tag-his-hand","tag-his-new-memoir","tag-his-smile","tag-holly-hunter","tag-honorary-oscars","tag-hysterical-laughter","tag-kieran-culkin","tag-later-this-month","tag-laughter","tag-march","tag-meryl-streep","tag-michael-douglas","tag-moonstruck","tag-moonstruck-close","tag-naomi-ackie","tag-nominees-close","tag-one-simple-response","tag-ordeal","tag-oscar-win","tag-our-new-app","tag-sally-kirkland","tag-shock","tag-shocking","tag-some-cheeky-shade","tag-stars","tag-stitches","tag-that-year","tag-the-1988-best-actress-category","tag-the-99th-edition","tag-the-actor","tag-the-audience","tag-the-awards-show","tag-the-best-performances","tag-the-classic-thriller","tag-the-couch","tag-the-graham-norton-show","tag-the-hollywood-veteran","tag-the-host","tag-the-interview","tag-the-joke","tag-the-last","tag-the-news","tag-the-shade","tag-the-talk-show","tag-the-weekend","tag-the-wife-the-academy","tag-the-win","tag-their-faces","tag-this-veteran-actor","tag-zeta-jones"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=950669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/950670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
