Glenn Close on eight Oscar nods with no wins: 'I am not a loser' By 3 weeks ago Though Glenn Close has been nominated for eight Oscars without any wins, the distinguished actor wants to make one thing clear: she is not a loser. Close has been nominated for best actress four times and she competed for her fourth Best Supporting Actress honour at last month's Academy Awards. When Minari star Youn Yuh-jung won the prize, the Los Angeles Times published an article with the headline, "After 8 Oscar losses, Glenn Close is now tied as the most nominated actor without a win."
