meryl streep is a helluva actress

saw Sophie's Choice for the first time ever tonight... her acting in it totally blew me away. I never really appreciated her before, but I think I'd put her performance in that movie in my top 10 at least :thumbsup:

She's brilliant. You could certainly make the argument that she is the greatest living actor. What I admire is that on top of it all she has a great sense of humor and is willing to take on goofy roles despite her overwhelming credentials and lifetime of critical acclaim.

she was also great in the devil wears prada

There's a reason she got 14 Oscar nominations. She's brilliant in Mamma Mia! also. Such energy and endearing smile! Pure joy to watch and hear. :heart:

yeah... that movie was terribad. I don't blame her for it, though (maybe her agent for letting her get involved in it)

had to bump this because her acceptance speech and the total shock that came with it at the SAG awards was totally awesome.

almost as if, you know, she doesn't realize that she's one of (if not the) greatest actresses of all time.

I agree. She is simply one of the best actresses of all time.

The SAG awards are probably more meaningful than the Golden Globes or the Academy awards because they come from her peers.

And yes, she's the greatest ever.
