Live Poll: Face-Off: Glenn Close vs. Peter O'Toole

Glenn Close and Peter O'Toole are tied as the actors with the most Oscar nominations with no wins. Both have been nominated eight times for Academy Awards in acting categories. While it is a wide consensus that both deserved Oscar wins, which of these two legends do you think is the most deserving?

I'd pick Close; but it's largely generational bias, I have seen way more of her films than O'Toole's

@NYVKE​ I agree on both counts and one of my concerns about the poll is that generation gap. I'm hoping O'Toole will get some votes from younger viewers on the strength and popularity of 'Lawrence of Arabia.' If this goes live and Close is way ahead, I'll vote for O'Toole based on that performance in what is one of my favorite films, as well as a few other films of his. 

Thanks for the feedback.

@rubyfruit76 ,

Both Glenn Close and Peter O'Toole are eminently deserving of an Oscar. 

My vote:

Peter O'Toole

Primarily because  he appeared in some of my favorite films. It's also probably a generational thing.

@dan_dassow​ I'm delighted that the results are so close. And indeed, I agree that both are eminently deserving of Oscars. This poll has prompted me to see more of Peter O'Toole's movies. I have greatly admired every performance of his that I've seen thus far and he chose some very good films to do, as well: 'Lawrence of Arabia' is in my all time top ten and I've liked what else I have seen but I definitely need to see more.

@Peter_pbn​ Thanks, so much, Peter. And seriously, it makes me smile to see that clapping emoticon: I get nostalgic because I remember it from my very first live poll over ten years ago. : )

@NYVKE​ Yay, the results are indeed close and I'm rather pleased about that. I was afraid it would tilt heavily in Close's favor for the generational reason we talked about. 

And I like the pun, lol.
