Close but it’s Olivia Colman for best actress at Oscars
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — Turns out Olivia Colman, not Glenn Close, was “The Favourite” at the Oscars. The British actress was a surprise winner as best actress on Sunday night for her role as Queen Anne in “The Favourite.” She beat out Close, who arrived at the Dolby Theatre as the heavy favorite to win her first Oscar in seven nominations for “The Wife.” Instead, a stunned Colman took the stage. She said, “This is not going to happen again.” A cheeky Colman knows where her Oscar statue will go: “In bed with me between me and my husband. He doesn’t know yet.” Asked what Queen Anne would say after her win, Colman replied, “Eat some cake.” The other nominees for best actress were Yalitza Aparicio for “Roma,” Lady Gaga for “A Star is Born” and Melissa McCarthy of “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” ___ For full coverage of the Oscars, visit: https://apnews.com/AcademyAwards.
