When Meryl Streep is made the face of a film, you are damn sure that film will get some Oscar attention. Streep has been nominated for sixteen Academy Awards, winning two for Best Actress (“Kramer Vs. Kramer” & “Sophie’s Choice”). This year “The Iron Lady” will almost assuredly win her another nomination as she plays former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, yet another historical figure, following in her footsteps from last year’s performance in “Julie and Julia” as Julia Child which also gained her a nomination.
