The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces that Glenn Close will receive an honorary Academy Award, along with director Ridley Scott and animator Floyd Norman, at the annual Governors Awards. The announcements note that Close has been nominated multiple times without previously winning a competitive Oscar, and the Academy highlights her body of work and emotional range. For Floyd Norman, the Academy describes him as a trailblazing animator who has helped break barriers and inspired generations of artists. Ridley Scott is also included among the honorary recipients. The Governors Awards are presented by the Academy as part of its annual ceremonies, separate from the main Oscar competition. The Academy’s announcements, reported by multiple outlets, describe the honor as recognition of career contributions rather than for a specific film performance. The awards are scheduled to be held during the Academy’s Governors Awards event.
