i hate the devil wears prada i hate the fashion industry and movies about it and i think anne hathaway is a so-so actress (no offense to fans) mainly used for her beauty/looks (no offense to fans) yet meryl streep was incredible in that movie, her performance outstanding. everyone else nominated was great as well, has Judi won an oscar yet? she deserves one. helen was indeed great, Kate was great, i dislike cruz (no offense), Cate Blanchett should have been nominated for pulling off Bob Dylan.
@andrewdisney1 Couldn't agree with you more, that is my order as well, my choices are also, in order:
1. Dame Helen Mirren
2. Dame Judi Dench
3. Meryl Streep
4. Kate Winslet
....
but you know what I would have had number 5 be someone who should have been recognized and was not- her portrayal of a fictionalized young Bob Dylan was OUTSTANDING....
@oscarlover100 Dench was indeed incedible. you know what i thought that Cate Blanchett should have been nominated for her role in "Im Not There" maybe people felt intimidated because she portrayed a young male specifically Bob Dylan and did it so outstandingly? haha. sexists. or something.
@oscarlover100 Dench was indeed incredible. you know what i thought that Cate Blanchett should have been nominated for her role in "Im Not There" maybe people felt intimidated because she portrayed a young male specifically Bob Dylan and did it so outstandingly? haha. sexists. or something.
No offense to Helen Mirren, but Penelope Cruz blew my mind in Volver, and I was hoping that she would pull an "upset" over Meryl Streep or Mirren. But Helen Mirren was a true acting goddess in The Queen.
@ChupopteraXXX I think Penelope Cruz is so-so, all the others are GREAT i think they shouldn't have nominated cruz and had nominated Cate Blanchett for her outstanding performance as a young Bob Dylan in "I'm Not There." No offense to Cruz fans just my opinion. All the other actresses nominated are great in my opinion and in my opinion Cruz is overrated. just my humble opinion. I'll never understand why on earth they didn't nominate Cate Blanchett she was so convincing as Dylan my mind was blown
I hate it when 'Oscar Buzz' becomes more influential to who wins the Oscar that the actual performances. I'm glad that Helen Mirren got recognised and won and Oscar, but in this particular category Meryl or Kate should have won in my opinion. It was down to the hype surrounding the film due to the period it addressed and the who conspiracy theory as to 'Who killed Diana'. It's a shame that Oscar is no longer just about sole cinematic performance.
i love how helen does that little thing with her head when everyone starts cheering, as if to say "well, look at that" haha! i love meryl, she really is the best & "the devil wears prada" remains one of my favourite films ever. and i thought judi dench did a marvellous job as well. really, "notes on a scandal" is a gem! :D not to mention kate, of course. i just love all of them so much! they're all such exceptionally talented actresses. <3
Meryl is the best, but in "Elisabeth II" helen mirren was better. i think it's much more difficult to play a real person, and miranda priestly wasn't real, so...
but actually we all know, meryl has won her third oscar, even if she don't get a "real" one!!
MERYL STREEP SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!! listen to the crowd!!!!! she got the "whoos"!!!! and she got a clip from her movie! no one else did!! ughhhhhhh. I love you Meryl!!!!
I loved 'Prada' but Mirren did a great thing playing Elizabeth II. I wonder if it is not more difficult to play a real person, and learn the manerrisms and such, than it is so make up a person in youe head? Both good, Mirren deserved it.
Meryl's clip was much longer than the rest of the nominees, probably because she was the most entertaining in the category. She would have been my personal choice to win but Helen put in a truly brilliant performance so well done to her.
Meryl is great and one of my favourite actresses, but that year Helen truly deserved the Oscar. She gave an amazing performance with the queen. I was stunned and absolutely mesmerized when watching this movie. Meryl & Helen rock!!! GREATEST ACTRESSES EVER!!!
I agree with you all that meryl is the greatest actress in the world. I love Meryl so much, but I also love Helen and I think they both did a great job in their films. I can´t decide wich of them who should have won the oscar that year.
I agree with everyone: Meryl should have won cause she is the best!But she will have to win an Oscar cause of Mamma Mia!This is my favourite film and in my home we could see this fantastic movie in the cinemas from July till the end of November!Its almost means half year and I've never seen film like this has running in the cinemas a long time!That was the first!So Go Meryl You were,You are and You will be the best all over the world!!!
Mamma Mia? lol. Sorry but she's not winning any Oscars for Mamma Mia. Do any of you know Meryl Streep's amazing long career? Or did you just suddenly start to like her after the Devil Wears Prada and Mamma Mia?
I think she was amazing in Sophies' Choice. Also, I cannot wait to see Doubt from mid February, here, in London. But still, The Devil Wears Prada remains a remarkable movie, and she created a truly convincing character.
Meryl Streep should've won that Oscar, she is the best actress in the world!!! Helen Mirren won this Oscar because of the movie title "The Queen", she had to win, but it'so unfair to the others, especially to Meryl!
I hope that Meryl will win her overdue 3rd Oscar in 2009, she really deserves it!
okay i adore helen mirren and she was great in it but i must admit she won like all the awards going tht yr cudnt they have let someone else have a chance
OMG i cant believe she didnt win this, i believe she acted the best she ever has in the devil wears prada..well..all her acting is amazing but in TDWP it was EXTRAORDINARY!
i'm a bit confused...some videos are telling ellen mirren was 2006 oscar's best actress others say it's 2007...coz marrion cotillard won in 2008 for her la vie en rose....so which is which????? can someone pls answer this question??? thank you! ;)
I think Reese Witherspoon won for best actress in 2006, Helen Mirren won in 2007 (still think it should have been Meryl tho! lol) and marion cotillard won in 2008 :)
I really liked Helen Mirren in Queen, but, well i think Meryl deserved it most!!! But you know, i cannot be objective because Meryl is my favourite actress, so i always see her acting better than anyone else's... But come on she rocked as Miranda!!! She made a complete personality and not just a strict boss, something very difficult i think. Her acting gave the deep meaning to this movie... Never mind though, she's close to win her 3rd oscar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meryl was fantastic in "the Devil wears Prada", though I have to admit that Helen Mirren was a little bit better - I adored her interpretation of Elizabeth II in "The Queen". However, Meryl ought to get an Oscar for Mamma Mia. She was absolutely stunning as Donna in that one.
I love meryl and she is great in everything she does.But taking into account all the movies she has been nominated,but not won this wasn't exactly oscar winning material. Especially in "leading actress" cathegory. I think it was more of a supporting role.
Helen Mirren was exelent in Queen and deserved to win!
this WAS oscar material. her performance was flawless and captured everything there was to miranda priestly. she was obviously lead because the movie's about andy's relationship with her. the movie would be pointless without streep.
I was so desperate for Kate or Meryl to win and my mum knew how much i wanted them to win as i had put pictures of them up all around the house even in the dishwasher and microwave and the next morning mum was being bitchy cause Helen won, i don't mind tho because Helen was amzing aswel, but i've always loved Meryl Streep, she should be a mythical "creature"
I'm a really big Meryl Streep fan...and I taught she made an excellent role in "The Devil wears Prada" but I have to admit that Helen Mirren was better...and not cause she played The Queen...because she was just outstanding, flawless. It was probably the only time I didn't freaked out cause Meryl lost an Oscar.
it's bettewr that Meryl didn't win because people apreciate her perofrmance more. Whenever an actress wins people start talking shit and there's a backlash against the performance and people say they didn't deserve it. They even say it about Charlize Theron in Monster and Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry. If Meryl had won people would be saying "she didn't do anything! She didn't deserve it" because it was such a subtle performance
she shouldn't have won..Helen Mirren deserved the award(which she won because of her role not because of her super special abilities)..but..I would have loved if Meryl won..I hoped so
As much as I loved Helen Mirren in "The Queen," I would have rather seen Kate Winslet in "Little Children" or Penelope Cruz in "Volver" win the Oscar. So sue me.
they r all such versatile actresses!!! i loved meryl in the devil wears prada- it was an outstanding performance, but i was blown away by the queen as well! kate winslet was terrific, too, and judi dench can do ANYTHING!!! i have never rele seen penelope cruz except in loreal shampoo ads... as i dislike the stuff it didnt give me a gd first impression... still, each to their own!
Excuse me justagirl, but haven't you seen The Queen?
Helen Mirren was BRILLIANT and I have never seen anything like that ever! I like Meryl Streep very much in The devil wears Prada (and many other movies) but she was far away from Helen!!!
Helen's performance in her movie The queen was magnificent.But Kate Winslet's and Meryl Streep's performance were brilliant.If Im one of the critics,I would probably vote for a tie between the three.
Like the others i think Meryl should have won the oscar.I am really dissapointed about the fact that she didn't won.She deserves it more than anybody because the role was magnific...I am very sorry that she did not won it...That's my opinion...
ok i saw the queen, and i saw the devil wears prada, and i think, the queen was good, and helen mirren, she did a really good job,and now talking about the characters. i think they should have given the oscar to meryl. her character was a little bit more complicated....
I am not being disrespectful and I seriously doubt she could have. If you believe Meryl should have won, could you keep it to yourself? Because obviously it upsets some people. (Me.)
You people are retarded. Helen played the fucking QUEEN OF ENGLAND! Could you do that??????? Could Meryl do that???? I think not. She did very well and it wasn't a popularity contest..hardly anybody knew her!
Kate Winslet was great in little children, but Helen Mirren was the best actress this year and deserved the Oscar and how was it a popularity contest?? Helen Mirren wasn't exactly a household name at the time in the USA, so for American people to like her performance and give her the oscar then that was a pretty huge achievement and not many people can carry the role of the Queen, and covering the topic of Dianas death was a risky topic to take on and that is what i call Raw
having seen all the performances I'd say Kate Winslet in Little Children was the best. She dug the deepest and gave the most raw real performance. The rest of the ladies were great but slightly overrated. I was moved most by Winslet's performance. But Helen Mirren had all the hype this year. It's a popularity contest.
All Helen Mirren did, was put on a wig, looked like the queen and recited some lines. Meryl put on a wig too, but she took on a very difficult role, and really changed her characeter. Could Helen have done that role of Miranda Priestly...NO! Meryl really should have won. Oh well. Great job anyway, your the winner in my eyes!
I saw "The Devil Wears Prada", and I was amazed by Meryl's play. "The Devil Wears Prada" is a comedy, but Miranda Priestly's character wasn't an easy character to play. Meryl said too, that she worked really hard on it. I saw "The Queen" too, and it was a good performance from Helen Mirren, but it was far away from Meryl's genious performance. I'm a Meryl fan, but I tried to look detachedly at both performances...but my opinion is still that, that the Oscar should have gone to Meryl Streep!
helen was by far the best actress of the year how the could someone say that anyone else was better? sorry but no other actress really compares to her and she's proved it this year by winning almost everything sorry guys who hoped meryl penelope or kate would winn they didn't have a chance
I didn't exactly hope anything. I knew no one had a chance against Helen Mirren. In fact, most people said she was the biggest lock for an Oscar win since Titanic, in 1997! That's big, isn't it? Of course her performance was worth an Oscar!
I love Meryl so much, and I adored her performance as Miranda Priestly. I'd root for her this year, but Dame Mirren was just too strong. And, truth be told, she deserved to win. I'd be happier if Meryl did, but I was happy for her.
I love Kate Winslet too... she definitely deserved the nomination, as always, this year. But... this is the only time I feel she didn't really deserve to win, not with the competition she was facing. Every other time she lost, I believe she was robbed. Especially in 2004, when she lost to Hilary Swank (who ALREADY had an Oscar!). If Kate was nominated for "Little Children" in 2005, she would by far be the best one. But don't worry. Her time will come, sooner or later.
ofcourse not. Titanic didn't win anything for acting. helen Hunt won for that year. Winslet's time will come soon when she gets a really really good role that makes her stand out.
honestly , penelope cruz was great , she was the best dressed and i'm american and i think that the academy did not give the oscar because she's spanish.
You deleted my comment because I said you took this from SimplyStreep? But...it says at the beginning of the clip where it's from! I was trying to stop people shouting at you by saying that you didn't make it so don't get at you for not including the other nominees. But whatever...
yeah I agree you shouldn't have cut the performances! but do you have the video of meryl and anne hathaway as they presented the costume award? meryl deserved the oscar for the look she gave!
Judi Dench was amazing in "Notes on a scandal". I strongly advise to everybody to see this film

As much as I loved Helen Mirren in "The Queen," I would have rather seen Kate Winslet in "Little Children" or Penelope Cruz in "Volver" win the Oscar. So sue me.

they r all such versatile actresses!!! i loved meryl in the devil wears prada- it was an outstanding performance, but i was blown away by the queen as well! kate winslet was terrific, too, and judi dench can do ANYTHING!!! i have never rele seen penelope cruz except in loreal shampoo ads... as i dislike the stuff it didnt give me a gd first impression... still, each to their own!

Excuse me justagirl, but haven't you seen The Queen?
Helen Mirren was BRILLIANT and I have never seen anything like that ever! I like Meryl Streep very much in The devil wears Prada (and many other movies) but she was far away from Helen!!!

Please Helen Mirren was not brilliant and her performance was more like prancing around the screen than acting! She did not deserve that award....

Helen's performance in her movie The queen was magnificent.But Kate Winslet's and Meryl Streep's performance were brilliant.If Im one of the critics,I would probably vote for a tie between the three.

Like the others i think Meryl should have won the oscar.I am really dissapointed about the fact that she didn't won.She deserves it more than anybody because the role was magnific...I am very sorry that she did not won it...That's my opinion...

ok i saw the queen, and i saw the devil wears prada, and i think, the queen was good, and helen mirren, she did a really good job,and now talking about the characters. i think they should have given the oscar to meryl. her character was a little bit more complicated....

Well, I was for Helen Mirren (Meryl is great, but The Queen was wonderful character!)

I am not being disrespectful and I seriously doubt she could have. If you believe Meryl should have won, could you keep it to yourself? Because obviously it upsets some people. (Me.)

Helen is brilliant. Simply brilliant. As much as I adore Meryl, the right woman won the oscar this year.

You people are retarded. Helen played the fucking QUEEN OF ENGLAND! Could you do that??????? Could Meryl do that???? I think not. She did very well and it wasn't a popularity contest..hardly anybody knew her!

Kate Winslet was great in little children, but Helen Mirren was the best actress this year and deserved the Oscar and how was it a popularity contest?? Helen Mirren wasn't exactly a household name at the time in the USA, so for American people to like her performance and give her the oscar then that was a pretty huge achievement and not many people can carry the role of the Queen, and covering the topic of Dianas death was a risky topic to take on and that is what i call Raw

Helen is a way better actress than any of the other nominees and Meryl really sucks ass all she did in her movie was act like a bitch
EmoBug17 4 years ago
Well, that's not so easy if you're not a bitch...

Meryl sucks? You're an idiot. She gave a great subtle bitch performance. They should have given 5 Oscar that year.

having seen all the performances I'd say Kate Winslet in Little Children was the best. She dug the deepest and gave the most raw real performance. The rest of the ladies were great but slightly overrated. I was moved most by Winslet's performance. But Helen Mirren had all the hype this year. It's a popularity contest.
Tigerlily21 4 years ago
I think it was Dame Judi Dench! That movie, "Notes on a Scandal" in wonderful! Also Cate Blancehtt got cheated!

All Helen Mirren did, was put on a wig, looked like the queen and recited some lines. Meryl put on a wig too, but she took on a very difficult role, and really changed her characeter. Could Helen have done that role of Miranda Priestly...NO! Meryl really should have won. Oh well. Great job anyway, your the winner in my eyes!
BWhitmore1 4 years ago
I saw "The Devil Wears Prada", and I was amazed by Meryl's play. "The Devil Wears Prada" is a comedy, but Miranda Priestly's character wasn't an easy character to play. Meryl said too, that she worked really hard on it. I saw "The Queen" too, and it was a good performance from Helen Mirren, but it was far away from Meryl's genious performance. I'm a Meryl fan, but I tried to look detachedly at both performances...but my opinion is still that, that the Oscar should have gone to Meryl Streep!

helen was by far the best actress of the year how the could someone say that anyone else was better? sorry but no other actress really compares to her and she's proved it this year by winning almost everything sorry guys who hoped meryl penelope or kate would winn they didn't have a chance
florianaalina 4 years ago
I didn't exactly hope anything. I knew no one had a chance against Helen Mirren. In fact, most people said she was the biggest lock for an Oscar win since Titanic, in 1997! That's big, isn't it? Of course her performance was worth an Oscar!

Fuck off, Meryle Streep has too many damn awards already, and Helen Mirren definitely deserved to win for portraying our Queen so brilliantly.

I love Meryl so much, and I adored her performance as Miranda Priestly. I'd root for her this year, but Dame Mirren was just too strong. And, truth be told, she deserved to win. I'd be happier if Meryl did, but I was happy for her.

all brilliant, but helen was absolutly fabulous, Meryl is a acting goddess, but seriously Helen mirren is just wonderful in this film, deserved!!

ahhhh!!! kate shud hav got it!!!! (or maybe meryl) kat winslet is the best and shes never won an oscar :( her film was betta thn the others!!!
daniellacowan 4 years ago
I love Kate Winslet too... she definitely deserved the nomination, as always, this year. But... this is the only time I feel she didn't really deserve to win, not with the competition she was facing. Every other time she lost, I believe she was robbed. Especially in 2004, when she lost to Hilary Swank (who ALREADY had an Oscar!). If Kate was nominated for "Little Children" in 2005, she would by far be the best one. But don't worry. Her time will come, sooner or later.
gustavohorn 4 years ago
Sorry but... hasn't she won an oscar for Titanic?
alechiocciola92 4 years ago
ofcourse not. Titanic didn't win anything for acting. helen Hunt won for that year. Winslet's time will come soon when she gets a really really good role that makes her stand out.
