Twitter Has Lots of ‘Overrated’ Jokes in Response to Meryl Streep’s Record-Breaking 20th Oscar Nomination

Today, Meryl Streep was nominated for her 20th Academy Award for Florence Foster Jenkins, breaking her own record for most nominations of all time. Just a few weeks ago, Streep won a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes and used her time onstage to deliver a blistering anti-Donald Trump speech, prompting our thin-skinned Commander in Chief to call her “overrated” on Twitter.

Streep responded to her own nomination with a gif. Others are responding to her nomination by taking to Twitter to talk about just how “overrated” the 20-time nominee and three-time winner actually is.
