Cher Says She "Adores" Michael Douglas After His Glenn Close Oscar Comment

Michael Douglas set off a viral debate on“The Graham Norton Show”when he told Glenn Close she should have won the 1988 best actress Oscar for“Fatal Attraction”instead of Cher for“Moonstruck.”Awkward detail: Close was seated right beside him, and the moment spread across social media within hours. Douglas won best actor that same night for“Wall Street,”so the man knows the room he was rewriting.

A representative for Cher told Page Six that Cher adores Douglas and isn’t holding any grudge. That should end the feud speculation before it starts, though it also makes the whole thing oddly wholesome for a Hollywood story. Meanwhile, Close’s Oscar story gets a happy chapter in November, when she receives an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards. She has eight competitive nominations and no wins, a record fans have debated for years.

The larger lesson here: awards season history never really goes away, it just waits for someone to say the quiet part out loud on a talk show. Both films hold up, and now there’s a fresh excuse to revisit them.

Which performance gets your vote from 1988:“Moonstruck”or“Fatal Attraction”? Tell us in the comments.
