Iron Lady, The

WINNER OF 2 OSCARS!

BEST ACTRESS – MERYL STREEP

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN MAKEUP 

This balanced portrait of Margaret Thatcher’s rise to power is the last film funded by the UK Film Council (shuttered in 2010, in a move that Maggie would no doubt have applauded, as part of Britain’s austerity measures). As Thatcher, Meryl Streep is “flawless” (Roger Ebert), easily earning her Oscar nomination.
