Caption This: Glenn's Gaze
Monday, February 25, 2019 at 5:32PM Nathaniel has already done the job of lamenting Glenn Close's sad loss again at Oscar's big night, so let's take some joy in one thing she did win that night: the internet. The spirit of goodwill and love for the screen legend has been everywhere online this season, from sharing selfies with Chalamet to her dog Sir Pippin of Beanfield's Instagram. But last night she gave us a genius bit of viral performance when she caught the eye of co-nominee Melissa McCarthy on the red carpet. The results were glamorous and... sexual (?) in nature.
Reader, tell us: what is Glenn Close thinking?

"This is it! This will be my night!" Hours later.... "FUCK!!!!"
She's gone viral and people will always look at Othiefia Colman's win as robbery.
I think, instead, she is admiring Billy Porter’s outfit.
Love Glenn's publicist Catherine! A very chic lady.
Jb, I'm happy Close is a better sport than you.
As for Close, she's totally reacting to Porter. I think they're good friends.
"Wait... What is it? Is that... OOOOOOHH."
Is Melissa wearing...pants? Yes, she is.... I think I like it.
Glenn and Melissa are the real Queens. Olivia who?
Why has nobody enquired after Olivia Colman's rabbits? I heard Glenn was spotted buying quite a few saucepans this morning...
"Is Melissa hearing a cape too? Mine's better!"
Close was gawking at Queen Billy Porter, not frumpy Melissa McCarthy.
“I’m finally going to win, but I have to rob a much more deserving nominee. Perhaps I’ll wait for the 1-2 competitive nominations I have left in me...”
She seemed eager to attract much attention to herself this season. Here she is doing so during another nominee's red carpet interview. Some perceived it as ungracious.
I don't even know but I want someone to look at me like a fresh piece of triple layer chocolate cake on a platter after a being on a diet for a month.
@I Melissa looked amazing. Frump you.
Meryl: "Hmm maybe I'll take a year off"
'Othiefia' , OMG so FETCH!
Glen needs to consider doing good work in a film people are actually going to watch next time.
She’s thinking - ‘fabulous garment - I want it in white , with black spots’
I don't want to get killed but... I was happy for Olivia Colman winning instead of Close. I know Close is overdue for a win and she was great in "The Wife", but my inner me thinks Colman was better in "The Favourite"
Damn Ed, that’s brave to say around these parts. You also have taste as good as Mr. Porter this opinion shows. Kudos.
"I should be wearing that."
Couldn't agree with Ed more. Close and Colman will continue to give wonderful performances. They'll be in contention for years to come.
"If I don't win, I'll boil some bunny tonight!"
I actually think she is looking Billy Porter and she is thinking: "What? Is he wearing a...? Daring. I looove it"
