Snubbed? If anything, she didn't deserve half of her noms  

[DevilsRollTheDice]

Not winning for The Devil Wears Prada is the only snub, I fear.

Death Becomes Her is a great performance. Goldie Hawn is just as good, but is so underrated. 

[Slamless]

I know she was nominated for it but her biggest snub is not winning for Doubt. She, Viola and PSH all deserved Oscars cuz woah

[family.guy123]

The River Wild is so, so good 

[Leptine]

Certain performances mentioned like 'Death becomes her', 'The Hours', 'Marvin's Room' and 'The River Wild' were definitely more deserving than others for which she got the nomination or even won, 'The Iron lady' is probably one of her worst performance.

Death Becomes Her, The Hours and Prairie should've been the top 3 but

She should give back 15 noms first.

Half? She's only had three bad nominations (I've seen everything from Sophie's Choice onwards) - One True Thing, Music of the Heart and ironically, The Iron Lady.
 

Everything else she's excellent or saves it from mediocritity.

One True Thing, Music of the Heart, The Iron Lady, August Osage County, Florence Foster Jenkins, The Post (she wasn't bad in this one, just serviceable and undeserving), Into the Woods (epitome of a name-check nom), Julie and Julia, Out of Africa (sorry to say). 

 

Almost everything since Doubt has been a name-check nom.

Iron Lady is up there with Monster and La Vie En Rose bye

 

OT: She deserved to win all her noms (she's the best actor ever) and she deserved another nom and win for Death Becomes Her

I don't think her performance was too bad, it was the screenplay that sunk the film. The writers wanted to take all the politics out of it and just make it about her being an old lady with dementia with random flashbacks to her political career, which turned it into a depressing film that had nothing to say.

If she was campaigned in Supporting, which she shoukd have been, she would have swept.

You think that wasn't a filler nom?

Actually, it wasn't. She won the Globe and tied for the critics choice.
