In order to lure people in, more and more big-name stars were cast in a single film. In Valentine's Day, Julia Roberts plays opposite Bradley Cooper in an ensemble that has everyone from Shirley MacLaine to Taylor Swift.

Stepmom was not the film that would help Julia achieve her goal, but it got her on the path to Oscar glory. It also acclimated audiences to the idea that Julia could convincingly play a mother. In 2000, Julia landed her Oscar vehicle: Erin Brockovich, the true story of a hard-working legal assistant trying to take down a c...

2018-04-2700 minNot Her Again2017: Meryl v. NixonMeryl teamed up with Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks to deliver a timely drama about women in the workplace, freedom of the press, and the danger of being too friendly with politicians. If it sounds like Oscar bait, it wasn't: Despite the pedigree, The Post only landed two nominations. Elsewhere, everything old was new again. Jimmy Kimmel returned as host for the second year in a row. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty presented Best Picture. And a slew of talented actors walked out of the ceremony without a little gold man. Join us as we discuss Laurie Metcalf in...

2018-03-2300 minNot Her Again2016: Meryl Sings Songs and Suffers SyphilisMeryl landed her 20th nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins, a film which deeply divides the co-hosts on this episode of Not Her Again. But no matter: these will forever be the Oscars haunted by the spectre of the envelope mix-up, with La La Land erroneously named Best Picture for two and a half minutes thanks to some backstage shenanigans. Join us as we discuss Moonlight’s unexpected win, the long journey to the podium for Kevin O’Connell, and the biggest snub of the year: “No Dames” for Best Original Song.

2018-03-1600 minNot Her Again2014: Meryl Wanders Into the WoodsAs if August: Osage County weren't enough, 2014 brought us another stage-to-screen adaptation: Into the Woods, based on the Sondheim musical. Meryl landed the juicy role of the Witch in this much-forgotten musical, and got a chance to show off her singing skills. But the main narrative of the night belonged to Birdman vs. Boyhood. Would Hollywood reward a moving portrayal of what it means to grow up, or an overly self-indulgent ode to show biz narcissism? Join us on the latest episode as we discuss Alejandro G. Iñárritu's path to Oscar glory, Julianne Moore's first Academy Award, and We...

2018-03-0200 minNot Her Again2013: Meryl Has Mouth Cancer, Get It?A beloved, prize-winning play adapted into a feature film? What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, a whole lot. Meryl landed a record-breaking 18th nomination for her role as a verbally abusive matriarch in the severely underwhelming August: Osage County. But the night belonged to 12 Years a Slave, which took home Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong’o. Join us as we discuss Jennifer Lawrence’s scene-stealing in American Hustle, Scarlett Johansson’s nomination-worthy work in Her, and a brief history of the world’s most retweeted tweets.

2018-02-2300 minNot Her Again2009: Bon Appetit with Meryl StreepMeryl was inching ever closer to a third Oscar in 2009, when she appeared in Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia as famed chef and Definitely Not a Spy Julia Child. Streep would go on to lose the Oscar to Sandra Bullock’s performance as a woman who wears a wig and is Definitely Not a Racist in The Blind Side. Elsewhere, Mo’Nique was making waves as an abusive mother in Precious, Christoph Waltz’s schtick was brand new in Inglourious Basterds, and Kathryn Bigelow was about to make history as the first female director to ever win Best Director at the O...

2018-02-0200 minNot Her Again2008: Meryl Has Such DoubtsWhile most serious Oscar pundits assumed Meryl was a lock for Best Actress for her role in Mamma Mia, Meryl actually got nominated for her more dramatic work in Doubt, written by the guy who brought us Moonstruck. Doubt also features an unforgettable breakout role for Viola Davis, stellar work from Amy Adams, and one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s most enduring performances. Elsewhere, The Dark Knight was setting box office records as Heath Ledger posthumously won every award in sight, and Slumdog Millionaire became an indie darling.

2018-01-2600 minNot Her Again2006: Meryl Wears PradaMartin Scorsese? For Best Director? Groundbreaking. After losing the Best Director prize five times, Scorsese finally scored with The Departed, which also took home Best Picture, beating out films such as The Queen and Little Miss Sunshine. Not competing in the Best Picture category was Dreamgirls, which, despite earning eight nominations, didn’t make the cut. Elsewhere, Meryl was earning raves and dominating the box office with The Devil Wears Prada, Eddie Murphy was having a tough go at the campaigning part of awards season, and Abigail Breslin was happy just to be nominated.

While she only got a nomination for the latter, her Hours co-star Nicole Kidman ended up winning Best Actress for her role as Virginia Woolf. Elsewhere, controversy brewed over the Best Director race—and not just because of Roman Polanski—and Adrien Brody infamously kissed Halle Berry on his way up to collect his award.

But for the Oscars that were handed out at the Shrine Auditorium, several went to American Beauty, [redacted] won Best Actor for American Beauty, and Hilary Swank won Best Actress for Boys Don’t Cry.

2017-12-1500 minNot Her Again1998: Meryl Makes You Want To Call Your MomPerhaps the most infamous Oscars in recent memory, the 71st Academy Awards pitted fans of Spielberg war movies against nerds and romantics who like Shakespeare. Shakespeare in Love ended up going home with Best Picture honors, but Saving Private Ryan won Spielberg his second Oscar. Elsewhere, another WWII movie, another Elizabethan movie, and then one more WWII movie scored major nominations. Meryl was nominated for her role as a terminally ill woman in One True Thing and made the cohosts want to call their mothers. Join us as we discuss Roberto Benigni’s chair jumping, the worst choice in Os...

2017-12-0100 minNot Her Again1990: Meryl & Carrie’s Postcards from the EdgeIn one of the biggest snubs of all time, Shirley MacLaine missed a nomination for her role in Postcards from the Edge. But Meryl began a string of great 1990s nominations with her role in the same movie, based on the novel by Carrie Fisher. Elsewhere, Whoopi Goldberg was finally getting her due for Ghost, Martin Scorsese was not getting his for Goodfellas, and a malevolent Kathy Bates hammered her way into our hearts with Misery.

2017-11-1700 minNot Her Again1988: A Dingo Took Meryl’s Baby!A Cry in the Dark may be most remembered for its infamous “a dingo took my baby” moment, but the movie features one of Meryl’s best performances of the 1980s. While she would go on to lose the Oscar, she had a better night than anyone remotely involved with the production of this disastrous show, which ended in humiliation, litigation, and infamy. Join us as we discuss Rob Lowe’s vocal chops, the woman who played Snow White in the worst Oscars opening number of all time, and Chad Lowe’s (yup, two Lowe brothers!) participation in the “I Wanna Be A...

But nothing could stop multi-hyphenate Cher from finally snagging that little gold man and joining the Serious Actress club. Elsewhere, Michael Douglas was busy cultivating a generation of Wall Street wannabes and misogynist creeps, Sean Connery was saying something unintelligible in The Untouchables, and Meryl landed her seventh Oscar nomination for Ironweed. Join us as we discuss Olympia Dukakis’ more famous cousin, Glenn Close’s Fatal Attraction regrets, and Holly Hunter’s crying scenes in Broadcast News. Hosted...
2017-11-0300 minNot Her Again1985: Meryl Runs a Coffee Plantation in Africa and It’s As Problematic As It SoundsTwo films got 11 nominations at the 58th Academy Awards: One, a sweeping, beautiful epic about love and loss. The other was Out of Africa. In the most unsurprising Oscar twist of all time, a stunning movie depicting the lives of black Americans living in the South lost out to an overly long, boring film about white people in Africa. Join us as we discuss Oprah’s unfair talent, the fish-out-of-water antics of Witness, and why you should really watch Cocoon.

2017-10-1300 minNot Her Again1981: Meryl Plays Two People and Wins Zero OscarsIn a battle between Katharine Hepburn and some British runners, you would expect Hepburn to come out on top every time. But the 54th Academy Awards had a different idea, bestowing Best Picture honors on an underdog of a movie featuring a lot of slow-motion running. Join us as we discuss Warren Beatty’s hundreds of takes on Reds, Jane Fonda’s wildly public daddy issues, and everyone’s favorite hit comedy Arthur. (The one with Liza Minnelli, not Russell Brand.)
