A Look Back at Meryl Streep’s Record-Setting 30 Golden Globe-Nominated Roles

Everyone talks about Meryl Streep’s record-setting number of Academy Award nominations, but perhaps even more impressive is the number of Golden Globe Award nominations she’s received: 30, as of this year, with her latest nod for Florence Foster Jenkins. In fact, the Hollywood Foreign Press seems to be so enamored with Streep that they’ll give her a nomination for pretty much anything (even Mamma Mia!). And now, they’re finally giving her the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures. In honor of Streep’s incredible feat — only Jack Lemmon has even come close, with 22 nominations — we’re looking back at the roles that got her the accolades. Think of it as a pre-ceremony binge list! 1979: The Deer Hunter Streep’s first Golden Globe nomination was also her first for the Academy Awards. Though she lost out on both prizes for her turn as the girlfriend of a fallen soldier in Vietnam, the role helped establish Streep as one to watch in the awards show game. 1980: Kramer vs. Kramer One to watch, no more: Streep catapulted to Golden Globe success when she snagged the best supporting actress in a drama trophy for Kramer vs. Kramer, in which she plays a woman who left her husband and is in the throes of divorce. 1982: The French Lieutenant’s Woman Little did she know in ’80, but Kramer vs. Kramer was the start of a Golden Globe-winning streak. She won best actress in a leading role for The French Lieutenant’s Woman two years later. 1983: Sophie’s Choice The next year brought Streep her third Golden Globe win (though she missed the ceremony), her second Oscar and perhaps still her most iconic role as Sophie, who must choose which of her children will be killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. 1984: Silkwood Though ’84 ended Streep’s winning streak, the nominations kept coming. In Silkwood, she plays real-life whistleblower and activist Karen Silkwood. 1986: Out of Africa The film adaptation of Baroness Karen von Blixen’s memoir about her life in Kenya was the vehicle for Streep’s sixth nomination, in which she starred opposite Robert Redford. 1988: Ironweed Playing the lover of Jack Nicholson’s character, a homeless man who abandoned his family, Streep nabbed another actress in a leading role nomination in 1988. 1989: Evil Angels For her seventh and final nomination of the 1980s, Streep played the wife of a Seventh-day Adventist pastor who is charged with the murder of her infant daughter. 1990: She-Devil Streep didn’t do comedy often, especially in the ’80s, but she was picture-perfect as the antagonist to Roseanne Barr’s crazed woman scorned (and on a mission for revenge). 1991: Postcards from the Edge Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by fellow Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher, Streep tackled the part of an actress with an even-more-famous mother (inspired by Fisher’s own mother, Debbie Reynolds, played in the film by Shirley MacLaine), who is struggling with addiction. 1993: Death Becomes Her You can’t stop Streep: She picked up […]
