It’s crazy that Meryl Streep has been nominated 21 times for an Oscar. And yet again, she broke her own record!

Meryl was first nominated way back in 1979 for her supporting turn in The Deer Hunter, and won the very next year in the same category for Kramer vs. Kramer. She’s a two-time Best Actress winner, for Sophie’s Choice (1983) and The Iron Lady (2012), and is nominated in the category for the second consecutive year, making it in last year for the comedy Florence Foster Jenkins.

“I am honored beyond measure by this nomination for a film I love, a film that stands in defense of press freedom, and inclusion of women’s voices in the movement of history — proud of the film, and all her filmmakers,” she said in a statement after receiving her nomination for The Post. “Thank you from a full heart.”
