MERYL STREEP
AB DEM 27.10.
She’s the nation’s most decorated actress: Meryl Streep, with a total of 21 Oscar nominations and three wins across her decades-long career, is an unstoppable tour-de-force every time she’s on-screen. The only actress who has her beat is Katharine Hepburn with four wins, but even Hepburn can’t come close to Streep’s sheer amount of nominations—only 12 compared to her 21.
She can don any wardrobe, any accent, any role and manage to make it seem as authentic as possible.
Streep has not limited herself to a specific genre or character type, nor has she limited herself to just one film a year. Often, she’ll pull off a light, breezy, comedic performance and a dramatic, award-winning serious performance in the same year. Each and every one of her roles is worth checking out just for her performance alone, but there are some that deserve recognition far above the rest.
