Thus tying the most times with Katharine Hepburn? I have no opinion on it, but I want to know others.

Hard to say, really. Streep's longevity and nomination tally makes her the odds-on favourite of the three-timers club to hit the stage a fourth time, but I do wonder if the "It's time!" narrative that surrounded her third win might have somewhat soured voters into wanting to anoint her again. I think if she does win again, it has to be either a.) undeniable, b.) in a major Best Picture contender, or c.) an extraordinarily weak field.
It is worth noting that Meryl is in the worst nomination drought of her career right now (she hasn't been nominated since 2017), and that can either work in her favor (the idea that voters might've taken her for granted) or it might be a sign voters might finally be disenchanted with her. It's not like she hasn't been working since The Post, after all.
I dunno, I guess I'll lean towards yes for now, but her age is working against her and Hepburn had 15+ years between her third and fourth wins for people to rally around her, and had a very strong film that had a winning narrative built in for Fonda already, and she benefited from that. I think for a fourth win, Meryl needs all the stars to align. She needs a Nomadland.

Well I think she certainly "could" but I don't think she will because the Academy in this current version has shown themselves unlikely to reward based on a narrative like hers - which would be "she's the best - so she deserves 4" - which of course is an absolutely stupid narrative anyway since arguably the most skilled actors (especially) and actresses do not necessarily have the most Oscars....
I mean - this Academy didn't reward Close, they didn't reward Boseman - and he was freakin dead - they instead voted on what they felt was merit (or they were racist - nah, just kidding).....they didn't nod Cooper for 2 BP nominees etc ......I think she can get nodded but winning is tricky at 73+....
I would say rather in the next 20 years so many people will have won 3 Oscars - and many more people will have achieved 9-10 career acting nominations that it will be a kind of mess .......as a metric for "how great" an actor / actress is or "was" the Oscar is already devalued and will be a giant clusterfuck moving forward .....I think we are on the cusp of the Acting Triple Crown being seen as "more impressive" than Oscar wins actually......but that's still some years away......
So I'd lean towards "No" for Streep ....but she's never one to count out obviously......

Yes, but I think supporting.

Well all it takes is one great part, but at the moment I'd say no. She was perceived as being overdue for The Iron Lady, it had been 30 years and a bunch of nominations and a lot of people thought she should have already got a third one for Adaptation or Doubt. That's not really the case now, since then she's just done old lady stuff and "look it's Meryl Streep!" supporting roles in prestige movies. The Post is really the only thing she's done lately that I could on any level imagine her picking up a 4th Oscar for. Seems like she's just acting for fun now. Which she has every right to do, she's had maybe the greatest acting career of all time.

I dunno and I'm sure MAR shouldn't be discussing Meryl Fucking Streep anyway being as y'all bring up 5-Head Kidman in the Blanchett thread (why?  ) AND diss Emma Stone in the Emma Stone thread um.....what MAR doesn't know about acting can fill The Grand Canyon ammiright?  Anyhoo.....the (American) GOAT won a Children's Emmy yesterday for this........the many voices are impeccable as is their accents........I also enjoyed the story because - well, emotionally, I'm like 6 ....... |

Probably not. Maybe there's not the good enough film roles anymore, or filming feature films is too tiring in her mid-70s, or she just wants to stay on the East Coast, but she seems predominately focused on TV work. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is unlikely to get her anywhere other than a Globe nod.

By very definition, that title makes it a versus thread, because it expects people to challenge it with examples of other working actors . Any working actor is fair game to bring up in that thread. I could say I think Adam Sandler is a better actor than Blanchett, and it's on topic. It is not The Cate Blanchett News Thread or The Cate Blanchett Discussion Thread, which may have more specific parameters . If you want to make ones of those, go ahead. I went into discuss her not even being clearly above Kidman in her own generation, let alone the greatest working actor. It's very on topic. It's your personal choice to treat it as a Cate Blanchett News Thread, but it's not actually that. I'm just going by the topic title. |

As for this thread's actual topic. No, I think Streep is done winning Oscars. l can barely remember her last notable movie role. She almost feels semi-retired from film.

Don't Look Up is her last film and that was three and a half years ago.
I genuinely believe that since she turned 70 or 72, she's intentionally going for the Daniel Day-Lewis-Leonardo DiCaprio approach, thus she's waiting and waiting for the right "really baity" project, and once she finds it, she will come back and boom, she gets the fourth Oscar.

Given how easily they've been handing out 2nds and 3rds lately, all it will take will be a memorable supporting role with no other stronger competitors in contention.
