Finally watched "The Iron Lady" and Meryl Streep really deserves the Oscar, even though she does not really need it to prove herself after so many nominations and two previous Acadamy Awards. I have always been believing Meryl Streep is gifted and is born to be an actress. The contemporary history of movie would dim significantly without her. For so many years she has given us one suprise after another. Meryl was really shining a few years back in "Devil Wears Prada". That was a simply Hollywood cliche that had been reproduced into many versions. The only difference here was Meryl Streep. Her performance made this movie a masterpiece.
Before I watched this movie, I forecast The Iron Lady would win the Oscar for make-up. My reason was based on a word of a master artist of China from 0ver 1,300 years ago. When the emporor asked him whether it was wasier to paint a ghost or to paint a human being. He answered human being, because he could paint a ghost whatever way he liked to as nobody had seen a ghost, while on the opposite side anyone could comment on his painting of a human being as all knew what a person looked like. The other two nominations, Albert Nobbs and Harry Potter both fall under the 'painting a ghost' category, but the Iron Lady is a real person, which makes the make-up much more challenging.
The same logic applies to acting. That's why I say Meryl deserves it. Plus, she really really did a great job showing us the ex British prime minister deeply into her brain and her heart.
