Meryl Streep can do no wrong...

Mamma Mia was a joy to watch. ABBA's music was obviously one of the reasons behind this,(after all, Mark and I were bobbing our heads to the songs at some part of the film) but the acting was also equally noteworthy. For me, Meryl Streep's turn as Donna Sheridan made the movie as well.



Whether she's cash-strapped and singing "Money, Money, Money" or lamenting a lost love to the tune of "S.O.S." or giving it up for girl power with "Dancing Queen" or seeking closure while saying "The Winner Takes it All", Meryl Streep does it with such vulnerability and sincerity.

As I was telling Mark after the film - and even throughout the time it was showing - she deserves another Oscar nomination for this. She delivered a winning performance, and as the song aptly says: the winner should take it all.
