I’m not the only one who has been involved with the idea … what if after some of the most undeserving Meryl-nominations of the past few years, this is the year when Meryl Streep is finally out of the race?
Or is it delusional to think that it can happen?
I’d say Chastain, Dench and Williams can challenge her for sure. My bet is currently on Chastain.
ReplyEvery year that she is running we have this post in here. It didn’t happen for August and Into The Woods (???) and definitely it won’t happen for The Post. I repeat, Streep was nominated for playing a witch in a Disney musical that bombed. She will not miss a nomination by playing a real life person in a Spielberg directed movie.

No. I think she’s just about right – her performance is middling especially at the beginning of the film. She makes something of it in the final acts.
I if Streep doesn’t get in, I would hope for Williams. But Chastain might be the more logical pick.
ReplyCopy URLMeryl can sit a year out. There is not much passion for the film and I think even industry people are a bit tired of nominating her. You know, there are a bunch of other deserving artists to be singled out as well. She has missed the SAG – even with screener issues, her name and the whole cast should have been name checked. It just didn’t happen.

Well to be fair the supporting actress category in that year wasn’t nearly as crowded as this year’s lead actress.
