Another Globe nod for magic Meryl

| | Comments (0) |

Meryl Streep may only have two Oscars (criminal!) but she has had 14 nominations overall. Her record is slightly better at the Golden Globes where she have won five trophies and this morning, received her TWENTY-FIRST nomination for her performance in "The Devil Wears Prada." The first was for 1979's "The Deer Hiunter" and the first win came a year later for "Kramer vs. Kramer."

I happen to think Meryl Streep can walk on water and I am grateful to her for all of the performances over the years that have made me laugh and cry. My faves are "Prada," "Postcards," Adaptation" and "One True Thing" which I think was more Oscar-worthy than the uneven performance given by Helen Hunt that year when she won for "As Good as it Gets." I also think Streep shoulda won for "Africa" or "Bridges."

What a body of work.
