October 22, 20177 yr Author LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE NOMINATIONS!!!! WHAT AN ACTUAL LEGEND!!!! *.* Sometimes, I do think that 20 nominations is a bit excessive and she just gets nominated for pretty much everything nowadays but I think I'd have nominated her for some snubs in the past so 20 is probably about right tbh, she's just THAT good :wub: I've only seen 13/20 of these and this is how I would rank them: 1. Sophie's Choice (potentially the best performance I've ever seen by ANYONE!?!) 2. Silkwood 3. Doubt 4. The Devil Wears Prada 5. Kramer vs Kramer 6. August: Osage County 7. One True Thing 8. The Iron Lady 9. A Cry in the Dark 10. Julie & Julia 11. Adaptation 12. Into the Woods 13. Florence Foster Jenkins The last three or so of those were probably a bit undeserving but then I would have nominated her for The Hours & The Manchurian Candidate too where she was very deserving in both. I liked her a lot in Manhattan as well but I just wish her role there was a bit bigger (plus, it was the same year as Kramer vs. Kramer which is obviously the best performance of the two...) :(
October 22, 20177 yr Queen *.* Legend. This also made me realise HOW MANY of her Oscar performances I need to watch!! 1) Kramer vs Kramer 2) The Devil Wears Prada 3) Julie & Julia 4) The Iron Lady 5) August: Osage County 6) Into The Woods fabulous in all but I'd not sure i'd have given Meryl noms for Into/August and a win for Iron Lady! Oops at that literally being in order of release date :lol: Meryl deserved her win for Kramer so much, she's utterly incredible in that <3 I would've personally also given Meryl a win for Prada but obvs that was never happening against an also wonderful Mirren!
