The incomparable Glenn Close won her first Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Femal Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie, for her portrayal of Eleanor of Aquitaine in Showtime's presentation of The Lion in Winter, the annual ceremony held February 5, 2005. She had been nominated twice before. To date she was won two SAG awards out of ten nominations.
I've seen this version of The Lion in Winter and Close deserved every award for her work. I'm shocked that Patrick Stewart was not even nominated for his performance as Henry II. The movie didn't receive any other nominations. Tragic. This version is awesome with powerful performances from all cast and crew.
