Miranda Priestly is arguably one of Streep's finest portrayals. The character could have been played so much differently, but Streep's choices were spot on.
She looked sublime in that film too.
Definitely! And, a blockbuster hit as well. Usually, those two things give you an Oscar. 🙃
agree
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 she should have won
It’s debatable whether or not the 2000s was Streep’s best decade for performances. But it’s undeniable that it was the best decade for her acceptance speeches. So glad you highlighted them.
In Doubt, she showed how generous she is with fellow actors: Her 8 minute scene with Viola Davis had Davis up for an Oscar too.
She didnt write the movie.
Julie and Julia. Definitely an Oscar for a superior comedy versus a Hallmark-y drama AKA The Blind Side.
This woman can do it all! Even her singing is fantastic.
I enjoy your channel in general, but your series on Meryl Streep is phenomenal. Your passion and thorough understanding of her career path, development, and artistry are terrific. I truly hope she takes a look. Your observations are nearly impossible to dispute.......!!!!!!
If I have not thanked you before, much appreciation for this series Brian!
I love Julie and Julia and it’s my personal favorite performance of hers.
I was born in 94 and I’m pretty sure Series of Unfortunate Events was my introduction to her. Even then she stood out and was hilarious. Aunt Josephine.
Doubt is her finest work
I agree. There really is no right or wrong in that movie---and her final scene is a real gut wrencher!
Agree wholeheartedly! That should've been Streep's third Oscar!!
Idea for you Brian: Stanley Tucci and the (very) elusive Oscar! The most underrated actor currrently working
Definitely
These Streep videos are fantastic Brian, keep up the great work and have a great rest of your weekend. Take care!
"part 7" God i love you
I always like when Meryl is allowed to be sexy in a film because it doesn’t happen very often and it’s always a very realistic type of sex appeal that seems so specific to Meryl
3rd Oscar should have been for Doubt. Kate was long overdue admittedly, but I’d have rewarded Winslet for Sense And Sensibility
Disagree about doubt.
This is when I started loving her. After "Devil", I searched all of her films to watch. Meryl is the one who made me believe in "crystal masks" and "acting". Every films, she wears a different mask.
Now Waiting for her nomination 2010’s

The post
She was robbed for Doubt 🥲 whata performance 👏💯 if Kate winslet nominated as supporting role for The reader then definitely Merry was winner that year without a DOUBT ☝️💯
True! That's the one that got away.
Nah, Winslet should've and would've won for revolutionary road in lead if the reader went supporting (which she wasnt, but I'd love if she had been nominated & won in both categories.) the golden globes that year proving winslet's worthy reign of that award season.
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 should have won for prada
Meryl should’ve been nominated for momma Mia
During the 2000s I think she is if not one of the pioneers amongst actresses that made age is not defined "past your prime". Because we'll see years afterwards (2010s) that season actresses much more desirable in castings as top biller albeit in the films or the TV such as Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Glen Close, Olivia Coleman, Viola Davis, Mo'nique, Angela Bassett and such.
I loved her in Doubt, incredible.
Meryl.was a supporting actress in the hours, they couldnt nominate her twice in the same category
I wish Meryl Streep would do a great horror movie role for once and win Best Actress for it! The witch in Into The Woods does not count… 😂
Haven't she had enough already... Trophies I meann🤔
Black Matter is the weirdest movie to star Meryl Streep. She is barely in it. I wonder why she chose to be in that movie.
You forgot to mention the important role her bff Harvey Weinstein played in her career.
Oh Please. Give me a break!
Peeps need to stop placing blame at her feet and saying she should have spoken out. Who knows if she even knew, and also why is she being singled out. Where was Lange, Mirren, Bullock, Blanchett, Winslet, Sarandon, Close, Cher, Smith, etc etc etc etc etc. Besides Paltrow, Sorvino, Judd, etc etc should have spoken out when Weinstein was doing things to them at the time. That would have saved other actresses surely.
She was responsible for the success of her career through sheer bright talent and grit. No Weinstein or other man.
@@atticusfinch3845 Oops I'm sorry I guess we're supposed to be tolerant towards people's religious beliefs. Weinstein was her 'God' really, not her bff.
Sorry but you did not fully understand her snarky, God Old Testament I guess, remark.
@@atticusfinch3845 Snarky or Sycophancy?
She Knew.
@@AnthroHistorian No evidence to support that claim, and she has been an advocate for women most of her career.
Is Meryl Streep the GOAT? It's subjective of course. However, if you are building a Mount Rushmore of greatest actresses working today, Meryl is a definite lock. The other lock IMO is Cate Blanchett.
Those are my two female favorites 🙂
Meryl's career is basically pre Devil Wears Prada and post. Before it she was a famous award winning actor with peerless ability. After it, she was a movie superstar with infinate range and audeince appeal.
Doubt should have given Meryl an oscar for her performance
Kate Winslet better
I always thought so too. That's the one that got away.
Agreed, Streep had nothing on Winslet in The Reader or Revolutionary Road that year.
@giorgi6643
The 2000s was the Renaissance of Meryl Streep
I like that slogan, yes!
I argee.
Ummm. She didn’t need a Renaissance; she was always present.
I don’t think so… the thing is that Meryl was doing more interesting movies and no the dramas that she was in the 80s and even 90s
@@jonathanperez7779 You're totally right and she did. But her audience and fans (?) got old. Meryl in early 2000s became a respected actress in show business but not familiar to millenials or the new generation. "Devil" and "Mamma Mia!" helped her to get alot of young fans (including me). She became "mainstream" again. That's what I love about Meryl's career. She was up and down and up again.
I could have easily seen Meryl win for Doubt, but Kate had the stronger chance. It's hard to believe that it took until The Devil Wears Prada for Meryl Streep to be box office gold. That shift made all the impact in her career that decade.
This is when I don't get it. Ouf of Africa and Bridges On Madison County are box office successes. Maybe blockbusters means summer films?
@@albustran4855 That doesn't make sense to me either. Maybe it needs to be amended to "box office success in a while."
She should have won for Doubt. It still seems weird that Kate Winslets nomination was upgraded to best actress after she was nominated in the supporting actress category at the Golden Globes.
Doubt was the one performance that would've been a worthy win. More so than The Iron Lady, imo.
Disagree a 100%. Winslet was perfect in both roles, both book adaption wise for both films and her performances in both. It was winslet's year. Anne Hathaway was better than Streep in Doubt too. Streep should've won for j&j - the iron lady is a sad third win for her
Best Streep's performance' in the 2000's :
1 The devil wears Prada
2 Doubt
3 Adaptation
4 Lions & Lambs
5 Julie & Julia
😀😃😄😁😅🤩😍🥰
I absolutely that Oscar nomination for TDWP. Streep thrives in roles like that. But yeah-Doubt was a tour de force. I remember watching that final scene where she admits to having had doubt and it knocked me out of my seat.
Controversial but I think Meryl was much better in the hours than Nicole
"Prime" is indeed a minor comedy pairing Streep with Uma Thurman, but there's a line of hers in there about Q-tips that made me laugh out loud.
One word:
Doubt
Meryl's movies are generally not for me but one that is however is Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. I'm not saying that she deserved an Oscar nomination for that performance necessarily, but she did do a good job bringing some empathy and depth to what could have been an overly obnoxious character.
What an amazing video and my favorite decade for Meryl performances! As much as I think Doubt is her best film performance that decade, I think her Angels In America performance is just spectacular and my favorite performance(s) of hers that decade. Rightfully swept the limited series categories that season and if it was a singular movie, could have won her a third Oscar. So much love for her performances in The Hours, Adaptation, The Devil Wears Prada, Doubt, Mamma Mia, and Julie & Julia that decade. I'll miss this series but it'll be fun to watch each part together from start to end. Thanks, Brian ❤
I'm still convinced that if Meryl had gone supporting that year for The Devil Wears Prada, she would have definitely won over Jennifer Hudson. I'm so glad the Academy nominated her for that not really award-friendly easy-going movie.
Wonderful! Hopefully Goddess Streep will keep on acting forever!
It took me a while to appreciate Meryl Streep, but her performance in Adaptation blew me away - I've rarely seen someone so alive and present onscreen as she was in the "telephone scene". Really, really extraordinary.
Brilliant!❤
meryl should have won for the devil wears prada
