When it comes to the estimable career of Glenn Close, there are myriad stunning scenes that come to mind: sobbing in the shower in “The Big Chill,” the bathroom brawl in “Fatal Attraction,” those final wordless moments in “Dangerous Liaisons” in which she smears the makeup off her face and leaks tears as the screen fades to black. Few actors are as bold and brave as the seven-time Oscar-nominated Close, this year’s recipient of Variety’s Creative Impact in Acting Award. Close will be honored on Feb. 26 as part of its virtual 10 Directors to Watch event with the Palm Springs Intl. Film Society.

You might already know the story of
Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance’s memoir that argues that a variety of social ills in Appalachia low birth rates, declining religious affiliation, domestic violence can be attributed to “hillbilly culture.” At the end of last year, Hollywood ran the book through a few spin cycles, bleaching its film adaptation of Vance’s virulent right-wing commentary, which places blame on government welfare programs for incentivizing perverse behaviors that tear families and society apart. Naturally, most critics scanned
Elegy for its politics. However sanitized the movie is of Vance’s beliefs, it was still destined for the front lines of the culture war.

Nomadland
What s it about? A woman loses her job in a small town and decides to become a van-dwelling nomad in the American west.
Who s in it? Frances McDormand, David Strathairn.
What are its Oscar chances? Since it became the first film ever to win top prize at both the (scaled-back) Venice and Toronto film festivals, it s been seen as one of the front-runners for best picture. Two-time Oscar-winner Frances McDormand is definitely in the race to equal Meryl Streep s three Oscar wins.
