Man this sucks. Couldn't we have had a tie? I love Olivia and I am thrilled for her but I'm so bummed for Glenn Close. And this is why I was nervous about Rami because I just had a gut feeling, there was going to be an upset in the lead categories, either with Actress or Actor.

Has anybody seen The Wife?

Yes.  The protagonists are horrid people.  Glenn Close was very good in it and merited a nomination.

The movie is a small film about small and deceitful characters.  

The professional ceilings women faced back in the day, however, were ubiquitous and awful.  It's not the focus of the movie, though.

I feel bad for Glenn but I enjoy when the Oscars deliver a genuine surprise.

Yes and a well deserved one!  I know a lot said she shouldn't be in a lead catagory and she didn't do much, but there's something to be said for the restraint or the moments of understated portrayal that an actor can show with their character as well.  She's wonderful.

Sad that Glenn didnt win, but Olivia is an amazing actress and just so damn charming!

I'm excited Olivia won. Had Glenn Close won it totally would have been a make-up or lifetime achievement and I'm sicking of the academy doing that. It just continually messes everything up. Glenn should be a multiple Oscar winner already (Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons, anyone).

I tried watching it two different times and fell asleep both times. I don't think I'll try a third time.

I actually saw it today and thought it was pretty good. It's all subjective. Glenn Close was very good in it. 
Before I saw it I was picking Colman because she was just amazing.  I would have had no problem with Close winning, was actually pulling for her..but hell, it could have been a tie! 
Loved Colman's speech and her nod to Glenn. Ha I think she felt bad she took the Oscar from GC.

I agree.  I recently rewatched Dangerous Liaisons and she blew me away all over again.  Jodie Foster gave a great performance in The Accused that year, but...damn, Glenn was good in that movie.
