I haven’t spoken to anyone at 20th Century Fox, but a guy who knows everyone and everything is saying the plan is for Meryl Streep‘s The Devil Wears Prada peformance to be put up for Best Actress. And in the words and cadence of David Mamet, I say no, no, a-thousand- times-no to that. Meryl isn’t the main character in Prada — Anne Hathaway is — and she won’t have a snowball’s chance in hell if she goes for Best Actress. And forget about her spirited performance in A Prairie Home Companion. That’s strictly backup, strictly “oh, yeah, she was good in that too.”
