The Best of the Best without a Y-Chromosome

Alright, here's what's up.
I'm going to be honest here and say that I hate actresses. I really do. So many of them are just catty and mean and snotty. Very few actresses are really good these days, so it's almost difficult for me to pick my favorites. But, I still can. My favorite actresses are Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. But why? Anne Hathaway is just a pretty face who got lucky with The Princess's Diary, right? WRONG! Anne Hathaway did get a lucky break with that movie back in 2001, but she is so much more than just some lucky girl. Her career sky rocketed after she was in Rachel Getting Married, in which she was nominated for a best actress Academy Award. After that, she was in The Devil Wears Prada with my other favorite and from there she went on to be in one of my favorite movies from last year, Les Miserables as Fantine. Annie Hathaway is so unbelievably talented and I hope one day to get to work with her, or at least meet her.
And of course, Meryl Streep. Now she is talented to say the least. She is one of the most critically acclaimed actresses with 17 Academy Award nominations and 3 wins for the Iron Lady, Sophie's Choice (which no should watch unless you have a box of tissues) and Kramer vs. Kramer (which you should probably also have some tissues). In total, Meryl has over 200 hundred nominations for acting and 97 wins. She has been in every type of film, including comedy (Julie and Julia), musical (Mama Mia!), drama (Out of Africa) and romance (Bridges of Madison County). Now, you probably don't know what all of these films are, but I do and they are fantastic! Why? Because she is in them! Meryl is just extraordinary, especially because she's been able to do all this and still have time to raise a family. Meryl, I salute you.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
