Ever since my cousin Kate Middleton became a duchess, I've been more interested in my British roots. So I saw The Iron Lady. Now I know almost as much about the United Kingdom as I do about England.
If I've said it once, I've said it 18 times, Meryl Streep is brilliant as Margaret Thatcher. I said it would earn her an Oscar nomination and it did. I can't believe how unbelievably believable she was.
I don't know how she did it. Not only does she sound and act like Margaret Thatcher, Meryl also plays her across a few decades. I always knew she was good, but after watching this performance, I think she might be a witch.
Whenever someone asks me who should portray me in the movie of my life, I always say the same person -- Taylor Swift. We're practically the same person. But I'd also love to see Meryl Streep play me. She's so good with accents and physicality. Let me tell you, dancing up a flight of stairs isn't as easy as it looks.
She really is the greatest actress of our time, and this may be her best performance yet. I can't wait to see what happens on the big night!

And if there was any guarantee the Oscar's wouldn't collapse into an Obama 2012 campaign, I might even watch.
1-No one, not even herself, can match her role in Sophie's Choice.
2-Iron Lady spent too much time on the degenerated elderly MT, relegating the truly exciting parts of her life to flashbacks.
Well, that's what we call "modesty" and "humility", undoubtedly!
