I hate film biographies! They're only made so that actors can get awards. Play a famous person, and BAM! you get nominated. I've critized Michelle Williams' MM which is THE most overrated performance of the year. Meryl Streep is in an entirely different league than MW. But still, Streep's not all great here. She's incredibly moving as the old Thatcher, but she's too much of a charicature as the younger Thatcher.

    There's no point in going on a diatribe about how silly and immaterial the oscars are- off course the oscars are worthless but I'll just say this: When you have brave and original perfomances by Kirsten Dunst, Tilda Swinton and Charlize Theron and you choose to ignore them and instead nominate actors based on their "abilities" to mimick! (the characters they're playing), then you're truly obsolete (and should only be thought of as a fashion show...nothing more).
