Meryl Streep Turns 75: Her 10 Best Oscar Snubbed Performances, From ‘Death Becomes Her’ to ‘The Hours’


Variety ranks Meryl Streep's best movies and performances snubbed by the Oscars including "Death Becomes Her," "The Hours" and "Manhattan."

Portraying the ex-wife of Woody Allen’s character Isaac, Jill Davis, Streep finds a lot of her dramatic and moving beats opposite her lesbian partner Connie (played terrifically by Karen Ludwig). Reuniting with David Frankel, the director of “The Devil Wears Prada” that brought her a Golden Globe win and Oscar nomination, she takes on the words of Vanessa Taylor (“The Shape of Water”) and shows some infectious comedic chops opposite Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones (“The Fugitive”). With her co-star Nicole Kidman’s Oscar-winning turn as Virginia Woolf taking up the oxygen, Julianne Moore playing the same double dip card for “Far from Heaven” in lead and being campaigned in supporting for “The Hours,” Streep’s work as a woman looking to throw a party for her old flame eventually went ignored despite its hefty nomination tally.
