Summary
- Cher has a loving response to Michael Douglas' comments about her Oscar win.
- Douglas suggested Glenn Close should have won Best Actress for Fatal Attraction.
- Cher won Best Actress for Moonstruck in 1988, while Close was nominated.
Cher has affectionately responded to remarks made by Michael Douglas concerning her 1988 Best Actress Oscar win. Douglas, costar of Cher's "Fatal Attraction," suggested that Glenn Close was more deserving of the award for her role in that film. Close herself had recently joked about receiving an honorary Oscar due to her eight competitive nominations without a win.
Douglas shared his opinion on "The Graham Norton Show," noting Close's nomination for "Fatal Attraction" and Cher's eventual win for "Moonstruck." Cher's representative stated that the singer "adores Michael Douglas," dismissing any notion of animosity. Close's "Fatal Attraction" earned six Oscar nominations, including Best Actress, but did not win. Cher's win for "Moonstruck" added to her previous Best Supporting Actress nomination for "Silkwood."
