Best Actress Academy Award is in the handbag for Meryl Streep

If anyone has ever looked like a rock-solid favourite to scoop a gong, it’s Meryl Streep for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.

Her competitors have as much chance of causing an upset as Thatcher herself does of a return to the front benches.
But the rest of the nominations contained one shock after another.
The Artist, which is widely expected to sweep the board, may have received 10 nods but Martin Scorsese’s Hugo came away with the 11. His homage to the golden age of film-making was a technical marvel but it was also overlong and frequently dull.
Just as surprising was the omission of Leonardo DiCaprio in the Leading Actor category, following his much-praised performance in J Edgar, and Michael Fassbender, whose turn in the searing drama Shame is one of the best you’ll ever see.
It’s equally shocking his co-star Carey Mulligan didn’t receive a nomination for Supporting Actress.
Also notable by their absence were We Need to Talk About Kevin and the Young Adult, both of which received zero nominations, while the terrific thriller Drive earned just one.
And you can bet Steven Spielberg will be puzzled after not being nominated for War Horse in the Best Director category.So, February 26 looks like a night that will contain plenty of surprises. Except, of course, for Streep, who now has a record 17 nominations to her name. For her, it’s in the handbag.
