Meryl Streep tipped to beat Michelle Williams to Best Actress at the 84th Academy Awards
Michelle well looked like Marilyn in her latest film. The critics thought so too.
A nice old man and Jennifer Lawrence have just announced the nominations for this year’s Oscars 2012.
Meryl Streep has landed a nomination for Best Actress for her
performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady and is up against
Michelle Williams for her role in My Week With Marilyn.
Williams has been nominated for a second year in a row – her
performance in Blue Valentine lost out to Natalie Portman’s in Black
Swan last year – and it’s thought she could have more luck this year.

people who go to the cinema and, like, really enjoy it) reckon she will
take it. Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady (Pic: Alex Bailey)Britons Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh and Janet McTeer are also in the
