  1. I usually watch if there are movies I want to win. But besides Meryl and Fantastical Beasts and maybe Jackie I’m not much interested. Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t nominated for Passengers…

  2. Jackie is a good bet. I like FFJ though. And I have a soft spot for the 20s fashions in Fantastic Beasts- or maybe it’s that I want to look like Queenie. Want her hats for sure…

  3. I suspect that the question of whether Meryl Streep wins of not will be heavily influenced by politics and for that reason alone I have fingers crossed that she will. She’s earned it and for more than just her acting.

  4. Little known fact: Young Meryl studied with the same vocal coach/teacher as Beverly Sills did. She had a beautiful voice.

    1. Sills originally studied with Rosa Ponselle, but Ponselle was a dramatic soprano who didn’t really know how to work with Sills’ lyric coloratura. Liebling was a specialist in coloratura and proved to be the better fit for Sills.
