…hello!? doesn’t anyone remember how great streep did comedy in “postcards from the edge”?…
“…is that a comedy RULE?…”
Oh my god, thank you Meryl for giving me ideas for my next drag costume. I can just see myself looking just like her with one of those cigerette holders, the long and lean ones ; )
Meryl steals the movie.. whatever movie she is in, bad or good.. you instinctly sympathize with her role as real. Great actress.
Meryl will be nominated, but she won’t win for this, especially since the Academy rarely gives Best Actress to comedic work. With Annette Bening (“Running With Scissors”), Nicole Kidman (“Fur”) and the British equivalent of Streep, Helen Mirren, (“The Queen”)showing up at year’s end, it’s way too early to start the Streep coronation. In my opinion, if “The Queen” gets a solid theatrical launch, it’s Mirren’s to lose.
This movie was perfectly cast! No one but Meryl could have done it, and I Anne wasn’t that bad either! I can’t wait to see her in Becoming Jane! As for her other comedic performances, I have always found them great! I Death Becomes Her is an all time fave!
If Meryl Streep wins the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress, then I can die at peace. Think about this, Oscar voters: no other seasoned actor could have played Miranda Priestly as brilliantly as Meryl did. Annette Bening for instance could have been so boring with her usual panic-and-stress-stricken voice delivery and facial stiffness. Bening is the same with all her intense neurotic roles. In other words, The Devil Wears Prada has become a classic movie all because of Meryl. In a word, she deserves her third Oscar after ridiculously more than 20 years now. “That’s all.”
