Diva/Mensch pair for May 29, 2024

The Best Actress winner for 2018 was Olivia Colman for The Favourite. Major diva role, with all the queenly finery and all those damned rabbits. Colman played her with a disarming frankness but the trappings are all Diva. My choice for the win that year was Glenn "Always a Nominee Never a Winner" Close for The Wife, in a terse, powerful performance as a woman whose husband gets all of the credit and she gets lost in the shuffle. The fact that this was her seventh nomination with no wins makes her a mensch for the ages. Bless her heart.
