Meryl Streep earned her 11th Oscar nomination for playing Kate Gulden in One True Thing (1998). What do you think of Streep’s performance?
Listen to our discussion of Streep’s performance on this week’s And the Runner-Up Is, out now!
@OscarRunnerUp Flawless. That Christmas tree sing-along
@OscarRunnerUp Meryl wanted some of Bette Midler's songs featured in the film, including Do You Want To Dance and Friends. Bette also provided the lead song over the end credits, My One True Friend. open.spotify.com/track/5mD8JHJz…
@OscarRunnerUp One of my faves from her, and the biggest surprise when I went through her nominations
@OscarRunnerUp For the record, she’s a lead (a film can have two leads of the same gender - I know this is shocking), and she’s terrific in the role. I’d have picked Renee Zellweger for a nod over her, but I’m not upset about this nod.
@OscarRunnerUp She is wonderful just as always - which might be a reason why it's so difficult to get excited about it
@OscarRunnerUp Very good, as she always is. I'd nom her, even if it's not top tier Streep. She's probably my 5th.
@OscarRunnerUp Loved it! Cried buckets!
