Meryl Streep pretty much gets an Oscar nomination just for waking up in the morning. And it looks like she's set to do it again playing Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
In early reviews, U.K. critics are loving 62-year-old Streep's performance as the controversial former British prime minister. The Guardian's Xan Brooks said Streep's performance "is astonishing and all but flawless" -- but adds that Streep "is the one great weapon of this often silly and suspect picture." The U.S. release of the film was recently pushed back a couple of weeks to Dec. 30, which also got tongues wagging about how good it is.
Nevertheless, Streep should come away from awards season with her usual well-deserved Oscar nod. So should Michelle Williams, who has critics raving about her performance as Marilyn Monroe in "My Week with Marilyn." Leonardo DiCaprio is also earning praise for playing an aging, sexually repressed J. Edgar Hoover in "J. Edgar."

I promise myself I will the next time it`s on.
Meryl still looks way too good to be Margaret.
oh and...
Thatcher was a cancer.
But all I noticed in My Week with Marilyn was HERMIONE GRANGER!
The woman was and always will be the most evil woman on British soil.
Your perception of her being someone worthy of emulation may have a lot to do with your own country's right-wing media trying to portray her as if she's some sort of heroine and the fact that you didn't actually live under her plutocracy and suffer the experience first-hand. Myself, my family and everyone else in Britain are still feeling the effects of her twisted mind even to this very day.

The irony is that we can actually afford to run a deficit right now as well.
