I hear a lot of "oh this is just gonna be a fluffy comedy and there's no chance for Oscar noms for Meryl or Amy." I'm not sure. I read the book, and while I didn't really like it, Amy Adams has a fairly substantial, juicy role in it. Meryl Streep's role is obviously going to be changed because, if you've read the book, the only role she has is that the author republishes letters Julia Child wrote. I don't know what the reviews of this movie will be, which may knock it out for the count, but it's not... like... The Hangover (which I LOVE, in case you missed that) in terms of lack of Oscar potential.
So yeah. Get that Oscar nom, Jesus & Meryl. Meryl can get nominated for anything at this point - you know the only reason she didn't get in for (blech! puke!) Mamma Mia! last year was because she had Doubt to get the nomination from - and Jesus needs another nomination to make up for the fact that she was nominated for her crappy Doubt performance and not Enchanted because I'm a crazy person like that.
