Is the consensus that Glenn Close is NOW going to win the Oscar this year?

I am incredibly happy that Colman won as I believed she, McCarthy and Close were all deserving. That said, my heart belonged to Close and it dropped when she lost. I know there was no intention to be cruel as they only voted who they liked the best, but it seems so cruel anyway.

I wonder, are there any meaty theatre roles for a woman of Close's age that she can adapt to a movie? The Wife was NOT the vehicle for her as Close even acknowledges that it was not an "Oscar bait" role. We know what Oscar bait roles look like. People think a movie version of Sunset Boulevard would be her ticket to an Oscar, but I'm doubtful considering the material of the musical no matter how great her performance will be. Of course Bohemian Rhapsody won four Oscars (though Queen's music is great) and Green Book won Best Pic, so obviously my taste doesn't align with the Oscars.

John Adams - I looooooooooooved Olivia in "Broadchurch."  Her and David Tennant played off each other like gangbusters and made that series as good as it was.   

Can't wait to see her turn as Queen Elizabeth in "The Crown."
