With just two months until the 84th Academy Awards, last night's Kennedy Center Honors Meryl Streep-fest aired at a perfect time. The actress has just scored her Golden Globe nomination for her highly-anticipated performance in The Iron Lady and is already being called an Oscar frontrunner for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in a project that seems designed entirely for a Lead Actress Oscar win. Take a look at the 10+ minute CBS campaign below.
Should Glenn Close and Viola Davis even bother showing up at this year's Academy Awards? (And could someone please convince Robert De Niro and Mike Nichols to wax poetic about Uggie's screen contributions on network television so we can keep that Uggie Academy Award campaign rolling?)
