"Instant gratification is not soon enough. "
I saw The Devil Wears Prada again while channel surfing. Wow, that film certainly still stands up. She is not gay, & she seems neither need nor tragic, but does she have the making of a Gay Icon just for her talent? She turns an astonishing 64 today & she has never been bigger at the box office. I love her. She is an actor goddess to me. I love her doing anything, but I like her best doing comedy & singing.
Meryl Streep has received 15 Academy Award nominations & 23 Golden Globe nominations (winning 6), more than any other person in film history. Her work has also earned her 2 Emmy Awards, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Cannes Film Festival award, 3 New York Film Critics Circle Awards, 4 Grammy Award nominations, a BAFTA award, & a Tony Award nomination.
I first time I saw her was on stage in The Taming Of The Shrew with Raul Julia at The Public Theatre in 1975. At the start of her film career, I wasn't really on board. She seemed all accents & technique. I was wrong. Her work is inspired, heartfelt & transcendent. My favorite Streep film performances:
Manhattan
Silkwood
Out Of Africa
Postcards From The Edge (love her singing!)
The Bridges Of Madison County
Adaptation (fearless,& without vanity as always)
The Hours
A Prairie Home Companion (again, the singing)
The Devil Wears Prada
Julie & Julia
& Angels In America
She is funny, self effacing, & the best actor of my generation. I forgive her for Mama Mia. I also passed on Iron Lady... was I wrong?
This summer I am very much looking forward to- Hope Springs, featuring Streep & Tommy Lee Jones as a 60-something married couple on a steep sexual slide. The couple travel to Dr. Steve Carell's Seaside Coitus Clinic, they will explore the all the carnal dilemmas faced by us senior population. This is from the director of The Devil Wears Prada. I don't know about cranky pants Jones, but I predict that at least the box office for this film, which opens in early August (right around the time that Julie & Julia hit big 3 years ago), will be rock hard.
What is your favorite Streep performance?
