Posted in Celebrities | FilmCraze
This article presents a head-to-head battle between two Titans of the acting world, Glenn Close and Meryl Streep. Most movie buffs could mention any number of films starring these highly-acclaimed thespians without much prodding.
Glenn Close is a 12th-generation New Englander who was educated in Africa, Switzerland and the U.S. She has three Tony Awards, eight Golden Globes, an Emmy Award, five Academy Award nominations, nine Golden Globes nominations, a Screen Actors Guild nomination, a BAFTA nomination, a National Board of Review Award, an L.A. Film Critics Award, a New York Film Critics nomination, and eight Emmy nominations.
With more nominations than any other actor in the history of either award, Meryl Streep has received 16 Academy Award nominations (winning two) and 25 Golden Globe nominations (winning seven). Her work has also earned her two Emmy Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Cannes Film Festival award, four New York Film Critics Circle Awards, five Grammy Award nominations, a BAFTA award, an Australian Film Institute Award, a Tony Award nomination, and the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award.
Following the lead of this article, we propose that the additional films be included in the “Battle of The Titans!”
Wildcards: Extreme Physicalities
Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmations
This 1996 Walt Disney film is a remake of a 1961 animated version, which was based on Dodie Smith's 1956 novel Hundred and One Dalmatians. The story takes place in London, and interestingly enough, the film's animal action includes wild raccoons and a wild skunk, which in reality do not occur wild in Britain.
Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada
This 2006 film is loosely based on the Lauren Weisberger novel of the same title. It co-stars Anne Hathaway as the aspiring journalist who lands the job as an assistant to the powerful fashion editor played by Streep. Peter Bart, co-host of Shootout, said of the film, “The Devil Wears Prada is an energetically directed, perfect-fit of a film that has surprised some in the industry with its box-office legs.”
