Random Meryl Streep Thought of the Day

Oh hush! Don't act like you don't think about Meryl Streep at least once a day! Glenn here. I'm not sure if Nat or anybody else around these parts has mentioned it, but I just realised that when Meryl Streep gets nominated in a couple of weeks time for her performance in Doubt - and, honestly, is there actually any doubt? *pun intended* - it will be exactly 30 years since she received her first nomination. Her first coming as it was for Best Supporting Actress in the 1978 Best Picture-winner The Deer Hunter.

Impressive, no?

Either way if she's nominated or not it's still and impressive feat, and considering she's been nominated 14 times already, another nomination this year will bring Meryl to an average of one nomination every two years of her working career. Yikes! And to think, I thought it was impressive that I managed to take the garbage out on time this week!
