Meryl Streep, the eternal runner-up
Renowned Hollywood actress Meryl Streep received a record 15th nomination this year with “Doubt”. But in a familiar Oscar night replay, she watched as yet another actress – Kate Winslet – took the Best Actress award Sunday night.

Streep, who was born Mary Louise Streep and who entered the world of cinema opposite Jane Fonda in 'Julia' in 1977, will probably never equal Katherine Hepburn’s record – the most highly decorated actress in Hollywood history with four Oscars in the Best Actress category. But Streep is still the recordholder for the most nominations, with six Golden Globes and a total of 23 nominations. And in a world where an expensive haircut can take place over talent, she nonetheless continues to impress with her style and personality.

Perhaps the Academy will see fit to give her an Oscar this year - a nice milestone for her 60th year. Her birthday is June 22. She deserves it.
