Another Globe nod for magic Meryl
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."
In between her first and most recent nods, there were wins for "Angels in America," "Adaptation," "Sophie's Choice" and "The French Leuitenant's Woman" and nominations for "The Mancharian Candidate," "The Hours," "One True Thing," "Music of the Heart," "Marvin's Room," "The Bridges of Madison County," "Postcards from the Edge," "Ironweed," "A Cry in the Dark," "Out of Africa," "Silkwood," the comedies "She Devil" and "Death Becomes Her" and the TV movie "First Do No Harm..."
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.
