For those of you who belong to the faction that feels Meryl Streep should receive an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Donna Sheridan in the summer blockbuster Mamma Mia, I implore you to watch this.
Meryl Streep will assuredly garner a 2008 Oscar nod for her portayal of Sister Aloysius, the role for which Cherry Jones won the 2005 Best Actress Tony Award. While I would have preferred to see Cherry go head-to-head with Philip Seymour Hoffman, I am intrigued to see Streep's interpretation of the role.
And if Streep's portrayal of the flaky Donna Sheridan wins out over hard-nosed nun Sister Aloysius, you can expect to hear some loud protestations. And I mean loud!

I can assure you that she will not be nominated for Mamma Mia! And I can assure you that she will most likely be nominated for Doubt. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists isn't THAT dumb.
I can't wait to see this, since I never caught the play. And I think Meryl can pretty much order up an Oscar nomination at will.
