Glenn Close Wins at Spirit Awards 2019, But Her Dog is the Real Winner Here!

Glenn Close accepts her award with help from her dog Pip at the 2019 Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday afternoon (February 23) in Santa Monica, Calif.

The 71-year-old actress won the award for Best Female Lead for her work in The Wife, but her dog won the spotlight during the speech!

Pip rolled around on stage while Glenn spoke. “I brought him up for this very reason,” she said. “It’s called ‘in the moment.’”

On winning the award, Glenn said, “It’s really, really only ever about the work, no matter what you’re wearing, no matter what red carpet you walk on. The fact that we get together and we tell these stories that really make a difference in the world — that is what we do.”
