We donโt call her Queen Meryl for nothing.
On Tuesday morning, Meryl Streep was nominated for her 20th (!!!) Academy Award, proving yet again why sheโs considered one of the greatest actors of all time. Streep, who won the Cecil B. DeMille Award at this yearโs Golden Globe Awards, broke her own record with Tuesdayโs nomination โ Actress in a Leading Role โ for the film โFlorence Foster Jenkins.โ
To express her excitement over the nomination, Streep shared the following gif (via a publicist) in a statement obtained by The Los Angeles Times. Itโs perfect:
Streep, 67, has held the record for most nominations for a few years now, with Katharine Hepburn and Jack Nicholson tied behind her with 12 nominations each.
Naturally, folks on social media were delighted to see Streepโs name in the category. People also couldnโt help but call out President Donald Trump, who called the actress overrated after she directed her Golden Globes speech at him.
Also in the category this year are Emma Stone (โLa La Landโ), Natalie Portman (โJackieโ), Ruth Negga (โLovingโ) and Isabelle Huppert (โElleโ).
