From the set of forthcoming biopic The Iron Lady here’s your first look at two time Oscar winner Meryl Streep as former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Pretty smart, right? Sure, the resemblance is only slight but the picture above is pretty much the visual embodiment of Oscar bait. What else would you call the most nominated actor in Oscars history putting on an accent in order to play an embattled historical figure? Logical? If this doesn’t garner nomination 17 we’ll eat our hat, the sink, Pluto, a 10 year old dagwood dog and our own assumptions about how awesome Meryl Streep is.
The Iron Lady is slated for release later this year.
