[mausuarez]

She's not able to remember all of her Oscar nominations... That's what a LEGEND looks like.

[ruoweilim]

meryl streep's success is so iconic it's literally become tradition to bring it up whenever you talk about her

[MickaelaDawn]

Meryl Streep wins every game ever. She only wears sunglasses so her eyes won't hurt the sun. She kills two stones with one bird. She can build a snowman out of rain, she can hear sign language and she can count to infinity. QUEEN

[GeniusDolphin]

I was waiting for her to say The Devil Wears Prada...(Forget it she didn't even say The Iron Lady which she won LMAO)

[AliMO]

[MuhammadEgypt]

Plot twist: Jimmy Kimmel actually stole that Oscar statute from a previous Oscars ceremony. :D

[lingoniGERMAN]

She is so awesome! She deserves every Oscar she got!

[inhalememes]

1:15 “WHY?! WHY?!” lol that had me XD

[equestriangirly]

I think when somebody is as accomplished an actress as she is she won't care whether she wins another Oscar or not. What does she have to prove at this point? She's a living legend and any film, no matter how bad, is lucky to have her in it.

[madelinedavison]

If you can’t remember all your Oscar nominations then you are a true legend

[christinastork]

She is a legend, she deserves the title - anyone who's seen even half of her movies would have to agree that she's massively gifted. She completely wins me over every single time I watch her act. <3
