Notes

  1. ↑ "Close proves that a Career Achievement winner need not be one gazing back on past glory (which in her case includes scads of major award nominations and wins). She starred in the 2024 Netflix horror hit The Deliverance , and will be featured in both the upcoming Knives Out mystery Wake Up Dead Man and Ryan Murphy's Hulu legal drama All's Fair ." [1]
