I've always been a bit surprised at the accolades that Streep garners from her acting. I mean, she's a good actress certainly, but I've been way more impressed with lesser known and less lauded actresses, like Cate Blanchett for instance.

The two-time Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett? Yeah, she isn't lauded or well known at all. share
LOL, didn't know she won any Oscars or had been nominated. Good for her. Honestly, I don't watch "award" shows, read People magazine, etc. I saw her in two films (Monuments Men and one other I can't recall right now) and her name popped in my head as an actress whose performance was the type that actually made me sit up and take notice.
I have seen more Streep films but there wasn't one where her performance made me notice it.
You're being intellectually dishonest. Every single time people are asked to name the greatest actress of our time (or even of all time), people name Streep each and every time. Not Blanchett.
shareHell of a claim. It sounds like you're claiming everybody would say Streep is the greatest actress. Every single time?
shareYou're another one of the clueless millenial/GenZ neckbeards who is culturally oblivious of how people think and feel outside of your echo chamber, so here ya go:

So sick of neckbeards on the internet always expressing incredulity over stuff that's been common knowledge for decades. Meryl Streep has been declared "the greatest actress of all time" a guzllion times since the 1980s; get with the program.
"Get with the program."
Don't think for yourself. Think what the others think.
little known massive star Cate Blanchett? huh?
shareI hate the term, overrated, but she's one of the few exceptions where that's the case.
The reason why I say that is that it's very easy to get called a good actor or actress when all you do is star in Oscar bait or "safe" material. To me, a good actor or actress has to be good no matter what they star in, not just so-called "prestige" films where you instantly come across as "good" because you're good at playing a dramatic role in a movie drowning in respectability.
For example, I consider Helena Bonham Carter a great actress because she can do mainstream and so-called Oscar bait without breaking a sweat. But she'd never be considered in Meryl Street's league because she gets written off as a character actress precisely because she's willing to take chances.
Blanchett and Streep are both great, yes. I do think Streep is just about the best around, but Blanchet is a close second.
shareInteresting. Would there be a Cate Blanchett without Meryl Streep?
