The Iron Lady Takes Home Oscar #3 - Complete List of Winners!

Meryl Streep's first and most recent Oscar win for Best Actress
Kramer vs Kramer & The Iron Lady

Here are the 2012 Oscar Results from the 84th Annual Academy Awards last night!  If you were like Ryan and myself, we didn't watch it.  We had more important things to watch, like The Walking Dead and Shameless, LOL.  

Actually, we didn't think highly of any of the Oscar nominations this year except for one.  I have provided a list down below courtesy of BBC.  After reviewing the winners, it looks like the 3D adventure drama, Hugo, took home the most awards last night, but the night belonged to one special lady, an Iron Lady.   

Meryl Streep won her third most-deserved Oscar for her portrayal of the former Primer Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.  A big shout-out for her, she is one of my favorite actresses, alongside Glenn Close and Sally Field.

Meryl Streep Aging Gracefully

This has got to be the best picture of Meryl Streep I've seen so far.  And why you ask?  Because she's aging gracefully, as one should.

A Real Princess Will Show You How It's Done...

While Adele was winning her 6 Grammys in the U.S., Meryl Streep was accepting her BAFTA award for Best Actress for The Iron Lady over in Britain.  But that wasn't the news of the evening - it was the loss of her shoe on her way to accept the award that caused all the buzz.  Luckily for her she had Prince Charming, Colin Firth, there to help slip the shoe back on.  Check out these cute pics.

Margaret Thatcher On The Cover of Newsweek

Margaret Thatcher landed on the cover of Newsweek and I forgot to share it with you.  Oh, I'm sorry, my bad - did I say Margaret Thatcher?  I meant Meryl Streep.  She has such an uncanny resemblance to the former Prime Minister of Britain.

There hasn't been a movie I haven't liked where Streep has played a part in it.  From Silkwood, Marvin's Room, Angels in America, Mamma Mia!, Lions for Lambs, and The Hours, the list goes on.  She's an amazing actress.  Hence, the reason I can't wait to see her new movie, The Iron Lady which opens January 06, 2012.

Movies to Watch: Iron Lady (First Teaser Trailer)

Back in February I wrote a post titled, "Margaret Thatcher's Long Lost Twin Sister Appears!"  It actually wasn't her sister, but instead Meryl Streep portraying the "Iron Lady," Britain's first woman Prime Minister.  

As I stated in my February post, she was to Britain, what Ronald Reagan was to us, a BIG F**KING MISTAKE!

Margaret Thatcher was known as the "Iron Lady," for leading a country with an Iron hand, so it was only fitting for Hollywood to make an Oscar worthy movie for her, and Streep.

Well, the first teaser trailer is out, and damn - it is downright scary!  It's like Margaret Thatcher has been reborn.

Margaret Thatcher's Long Lost Twin Sister Appears!

Nearly 30 years ago in 1982, the start of the Falklands War was on every Brit's mind.  The Iron Lady was in control and no one could topple her.  She became best friends with Ronald Reagan, and thus began the hatred her country grew towards her.  She was to Britain what Ronald Reagan was to us; helped the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  Not to go off subject, but here long lost twin has been found.  Here she is,  >>>

and she hasn't aged one bit.  LOL, just kidding.

I swear, Meryl Streep as Thatcher is remarkable.  Filming for The Iron Lady started on January 31st, and this could very well be Streep's long overdue, third Oscar win. For the rest of the cast and what this movie is all about, you can go here and here.
