  "account": "Cher expressed happiness for fellow actress Cher and thought that Glenn Close, her co-star from the film Fatal Attraction, received an Oscar she deserved. On an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Douglas, who appeared alongside Close, remarked that Close \"should have won with Fatal Attraction,\" which was her fourth nomination and first in the Leading Actress category. Cher, however, won for her role in Moonstruck, a film that Douglas also mentioned, reminding the audience that \"that's what we all said.\" The screenwriter, who has won eight competitive Oscar nominations in total, has never won an Oscar.",
