Looks like this is the start of her campaign. Look how long Paul Newman, Shirley Maclaine, etc had to wait to win. In terms of who is "due" - Meryl has gone 25 years without winning. She has just one lead actress award. She basically has 13 or 14 Lead Actress nominations with just one win. She sits there year after year - loses to Cher, Helen Mirren, Geraldine Page, Kathy Bates, virtually everyone. This has to be her year. She's de-glammed, it's anti-Catholic (Hollywood loves that), lots of baity clips ("Buck never would have been in the hospital!"). So come on, give Meryl oscar #2 - then let's move on. She doesn't have much on the horizon after that - except Julia Child. And Amelia Aerhart def beats Julia Child in 2009.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-10009772804729934902008-11-04T10:52:00.000-05:002008-11-04T10:52:00.000-05:00That's telling 'em!

Once you've won one Oscar, you are forever an "Academy Award winner". Does Meryl really need more? I don't know, but her fans do apparently. Meryl is already snugly and firmly in the Pantheon for all eternity, it's not like she has anything to prove. (then again I suppose the same could be said of Kate, in terms of acting greatness. Just give her the damn Oscar, please, and we can all go home happy.)<BR/><BR/>2) That Doubt trailer looked a little too baity, too "trying hard to be important and get Oscars" and Meryl looked a bit "old school Meryl" in it (hide behind disguises,etc.) Then again, getting ugly seems to be a requirement lately for winning Best Actress (unless you're Reese Witherspoon).Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-43960225916969141332008-11-04T02:25:00.000-05:002008-11-04T02:25:00.000-05:00Yes!
