Yep. Very subjective. I used to think I was the only one who liked Kristen. Usually, I am. But I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Antlers was a fan, now IamLuvBolly too. You are not alone.

The Brits are taking the US by storm. From Sam Smith sweeping the Grammys to Eddie winning the coveted BA award.

Yep. Today I realized that people actually find MERYL STREEP over-rated... And I died.

There was a Saturday Night Live skit years ago with Gwyneth Paltrow hosting where she's pretending to be British. Ben Affleck speak up from the audience and tells her that people respect her as an actor and she doesn't need to pretend to be British lol.

British actors are always seen as more talented and serious. From Hollywood's perspective anyway.

I'm all for art being subjective. But this is just wrong. Meryl Streep is the greatest.

I say this very tongue and cheek of course. But come on. It's Meryl Streep for crying out loud. I wonder if this is genuine critique or if people are just tired of her always getting nominated, which I still think is very much deserved.

As Cam would say about Meryl Streep "She could play Batman and it would be perfect". That woman is EPIC.

Meryl Streep is great. The character in Into The Woods was not. She shouldn't be nominated just for doing anything. Emily Blunt was the heart of the movie. If anyone, it should've been her.

Now come back to life. :)

I love Blunt, she's one of my favourites, but Streep completely deserved this.

Thanks for bringing me back to life. 😉

Meryl is Great but she cannot sing, very screechy in the movie. Emily stole the show. Streep shouldn't have been nominated for her part. 😆

Jessica Chastin is another one who needs to win something soon. That woman is brilliant too , along with Amy Adams.
