Meryl Streep created history yet again with another Oscar nomination to her kitty for her role in Florence Foster Jenkins. Since this is the 20^th nomination for her, she now holds the record for being the most nominated actor ever. Only Katharine Hepburn and Jack Nicholson follow with a whopping tally of 12 nominations each. 

 

 

 

 

 

This powerhouse performer was first nominated in the supporting actress category in 1979 for her role in The Deer Hunter. And from her total number of nominations, at least 16 of them are for the lead roles while the remaining four are for supporting roles.

And that’s not all. Streep, who is known for her versatility and who’s usually cited by the media as the “best actress of her generation”, is the winner of three Academy Awards for her fantastic portrayals in films such as Sophie’s Choice (1982), The Iron Lady (2011) and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979, for the best supporting actress).

 

 

 

 

 

In Florence Foster Jenkins, for which she received her 20th Oscar nomination, she plays the role of a wealthy woman with big dreams of singing, but does not possess the perfect pitch to do so.
