I seriously doubt Meryl will be in a TV series though given how big she is in films..<br /><br />That Tina Fey joke was a little cutting IMO, I'm sure there's a fair amount of jealousy that not only does Meryl get the plum roles in adaptations of critically acclaimed plays and highly successful stage musicals as well as best-selling books and tailored made rom-coms but also hasn't yet gone ignored by the awards circuit like some of her contemporaries.<br /><br />I can imagine a lot have stopped voting for her because of this.

Better writing on television and as Tina Fey said, "there are still roles for Meryl Streeps over 60."Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115351346180340694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751049975001656578.post-62906693877363783492014-01-19T06:55:50.416-06:002014-01-19T06:55:50.416-06:00Well you were just spot on Jeff! Blanchett is all ...Well you were just spot on Jeff! Blanchett is all but a certainty now. If you were a betting man you could make some money.. :)<br /><br />That said, a SAG win for August's cast would have been a nice compliment to the film which is unlikely to win anywhere else.<br /><br />The only real surprises for me were the Dames picking up the TV SAG's, especially Mirren who hasn't won anything in ages really.CJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937312863597687063noreply@blogger.com
