Wow, what a fantastic review. I think it's a bit of a stretch to compare Streep's role to the kind of roller-coaster performances/roles that Barbra Streisand and Liza Minnelli won their Oscars for. However, I do believe that it isn't too much of a stretch for Streep to get an Oscar nomination for this. If she really is giving the most entertaining performance of her career (as I believe the reviewer called it), the Academy might want to reward her for yet another great comedic turn (did anyone expect her to get a nod for PRADA this early in the summer? ).
How awesome would it be if she won Golden Globes in both Leading Actress in a Movie category? One for MAMMA MIA, one for DOUBT.
