Melissa McCarthy and Glenn Close + Rami Malek and Bradley Cooper

No competition between these pairings, both nominated in the same categories at 2019’s show: McCarthy (Can You Ever

Forgive Me?) and Close (The Wife) formed a fun friendship in the best actress race, which included Close’s viral reaction to seeing McCarthy on the Oscars red carpet; Bradley Cooper (A Star

Is Born) and Rami Malek (who won for Bohemian Rhapsody) also became pals while up against each other in the best actor category. After Malek’s win, Cooper called him “an incredible actor” in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
