After 29 years of being nominated and passed over simply because she had already won twice, Meryl was recognized for her unparalleled craft once again.
Here’s the memorable video:
Meryl looked genuinely shocked when she heard her name called, and both Glenn Close and Michelle Williams looked honestly happy that she had finally won her third Oscar. I'm sure Viola Davis must have been very disappointed, but hopefully she'll get her golden guy soon enough.
Sandra Bullock jumped to her feet right away, as did the entire audience, and the cheers were so loud it was almost embarrassing.
I realized today that the last time I had been this happy for an Oscar result was when The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King swept the ceremony in 2004 with 11 wins, tying the record for most wins. I loved that movie and the entire trilogy so much, a full sweep was more than I could have hoped for and made up for the Academy overlooking the previous two chapters. I was overjoyed.
And now I'm so overjoyed for Meryl Streep, words can hardly explain. Congratulations a million times over and thank you for the beautiful emotions you always make us feel whenever you grace us with your unmatchable gift.
BRAVA!!!
