good for meryl! (golden globes live blog)
I didn't expect Meryl Streep to win for her performance in "The Devil Wears Prada," not really.
I mean, she was outstanding in that film. Every single subtle flicker across her face was perfectly timed and executed, every tone of her voice perfectly modulated. It's a joy to watch that performance -- I find myself hooting (yeah, really) every time her Miranda Preistly says anything.
But the movie itself feels so fluffy that, despite my enduring affection for it and all things Meryl, I figured she didn't have a chance. Sure, I wanted her to win, but.
Well, I guess she showed me!
