Glenn Close looks solid to finally win her first Oscar on Sunday, for Best Actress for “The Wife.” But the seven-time nominee is associated with another Best Actress win — and a pretty big one at that — though you might not realize it at first.
In 2002, Close and Donald Sutherland were tapped to be the Voices of Oscar for the 74th ceremony, which was just a fancy way of saying they were the announcers. So instead of getting a regular announcer or voiceover artist — Randy Thomas, the first woman to announce the Oscars, is returning for her 10th stint this weekend — to read ad break teases, presenter introductions and a winner’s Oscar history, the academy went with a then-five-time nominee and someone who still has yet to be nominated.

Anyway, things were going swell until Best Actress.

“Nightline” is no longer being tailored solely for late-night newshounds.
The venerable ABC News show, which has its roots in the network’s end-of-day coverage of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, is quietly branching out to new venues. On Monday evening, Freeform, the cable network that is, like ABC, part of Walt Disney Co., will show “For Our Lives: Parkland,” a “Nightline” documentary that follows the lives of several students in the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Executive producer Steven Baker feels there’s more “Nightline” can do. “’Nightline’ is more than just a time slot,” he says. “This is a brand that tells stories, no matter where it is seen.”
The hour long-special marks the first time “Nightline” and Freeform have partnered on a project. “Nightline” producers were able to embed themselves with some of the Parkland students, and not just at school events or demonstrations.
