LA | CAN SHE DO IT?
on 25/01/2012Yes. She. Can. She can do anything.
This year's Oscars nominations were announced in LA yesterday -
and Meryl Streep has a shot at a hat-trick of Oscars after
being nominated yet again. Her previous wins were for roles in Kramer vs.
Kramerin 1979 and Sophie's
Choice in 1982. She has been nominated a staggering 15
times.
The best actress nod for her role as Margaret Thatcher in
The Iron Lady is the latest chapter in a four-decade
love affair between the Hollywood great and the Academy. We can't
blame them, who doesn't love Meryl?
In terms of competition, we're looking at Glenn Close, who starred
in Albert Nobbs, Viola Davis, nominated
for her role in The Help, Michelle
Williams, for My Week with Marilyn
of course, and newcomer Rooney Mara - aka The
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
When it comes to the best actor category, the stand off
between BFFs Brad Pitt (Moneyball ) and
George Clooney (The
Descendants) is all we care about… Roll on
February 26th!
"Excuse me, Meryl Streep could play Batman and be
the right choice." Cameron Tucker, Modern Family.
