The straights (and the rest of the world) respect Meryl's acting career to a high level and doesn't even highlight her off-years. Wish the gays in here do the same, it's giving success stan 3

Plus she probably only takes on projects that suit her schedule rather than being hungry for work. She has had slumps before, in the early 90's she had 5 years of no Oscar nods. After the big peak she had in the 80's it wasn't really until The Devil Wears Prada that she came back in a big way. She served this during her "slump," when will others 1 1

The way she sings "you mean me?" at 1:25 ... the Cate Blanchetts and Kate Winslets of the world are great dramatic actresses but they wouldn't think or be able to do such subtly hilarious comedy.

I respect Meryl’s career, but even her stans must admit her choice of roles lately has been underwhelming at best. 1

Scandalous Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) i mean she hasn’t really been trying for prestige baity roles the past few years. she’s in her 70s and nothing left to prove so she’s just taking silly roles to have some fun! let granny live! also she had already signed onto Murders before the season was written and she’s the highlight of this season so far Edited September 13, 2023 by Scandalous 1
intheneonlights Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 "Lowest audience score" and it's still a very good 86% https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/only_murders_in_the_building/s03 Mind you, it also just hit a series high in terms of ratings (https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/only-murders-building-hits-high-211059975.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJ3zdaED12sDp3K69XCcmwKN-E7pp8Kjb-IdcBnclTEuuw1w__bdaSyOjKc2qcfsWLyPdFzg5MvIFNQv-Brdl0EURcinKmXDivBowFXPumvEEM_v_-ezjWWO-Xndt1zjscJJyLBWiVQ_sUahnvAZIr9vhUqTvtguYedi_4J3GvoR) and Meryl is all but guaranteed an Emmy nomination 1
LittleStarmen Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Shes doing projects with her friends
Selegend Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 she has NOTHING to prove. but she is slaying on 'only murders in the building'. the muted reaction has so much to do with the strike i think, imagine she's going to 1 or 2 tv shows to talk about it with selena, for example? as for her acting she's insane there. her acting is on point as always. 1
