She slayed in her 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, not slaying in her 70s is not a "what went wrong" situation :rip: 

ATRL gays always put incredibly high standards to female musicians/artists. 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 :skull:

The academy doesn't really have much time for women over 70, nor are there that many good scripts out there. 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 :jonny5:

a legendary performance.

 

and the film is the only time ever that an Asian won the Best Visual Effects Oscar. 

(I *think* the only POC at all, but not sure.)

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.

Not ATRL coming after a 75 year old legend :rip: Most of us are lucky to not be in the ground at that age and you want her to keep punching up like she still has something to prove

This thread is half a joke. I respect Meryl’s career, but even her stans must admit her choice of roles lately has been underwhelming at best.

she could always do a sequel to she-devil with rosanne barr. spacer.png 

she tbh should (with roseanne's character recast by laurie metcalf :keir:). meryl didn't do enough comedies in her heyday because she-devil and death becomes her flopped but she is great in both.

maybe she is just having fun at this point? don't look up and only flops both look like they were fun to make and for a 74 year old woman with a 5 decade career maybe she is tired of heavy dramatic oscar bait works and just want to enjoy herself in light hearted stuff for a while until she gets a project that she thinks is worthy of going all in. 

 

and it's not really her fault that the writing got bad on the shows that she joined, she remains the best part about them with excellent character work

once again proving that a woman could literally be the best in her field for multiple decades and it's still not enough.

Meryl has underrated comedic chops!

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

Shes doing projects with her friends

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.

Although I love Cate, I think Meryl is the superior comedic actress.
