Poll: Perennial Unlucky Oscar Nominee Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep is considered the greatest actress of her generation. Streep's twenty-one acting Oscar nominations are 75% more than any other actor or actress in Oscar history. However, Streep only has one Oscar win the last thirty-six years despite being nominated seventeen times. As the saying goes, if she didn't have bad luck, she wouldn't have any luck at all. Will her unlucky streak continue and never win another Oscar again, which begs the question?
In retrospect, which Meryl Streep performance among her eighteen non-winning Oscar nominated roles is her greatest?
