In my book, one of the most over-rated actresses in the biz. Grab a Variety, the bible of show biz rags, around awards time. You will easily discover why she gets so many nominations: Page upon page upon multi-thousand dollar page of ads pushing for her nomination and, in subsequent issues, her win. Taylor Swift has a similar smoothly oiled and running publicity machine, in the music biz. Grab a Billboard around Grammy time. Seriously, do check out those magazines. They are real eye-openers into the star-making game. Streep does comically bad accents, and over-acts, to a hilarious extent, in many of her "great" roles.

Sorry. I liked her okay until her looong mean-spirited bigoted political rant instead of an acceptance speech at the Oscars.
