Like beauty, its in the eye of the beholder. In Hollywood you also have to add "in the eye" with are you liberal enough.
In my view I had always believed that Streep was over-rated while my wife disagreed. Its one's opinion. some one mentioned "Sophie's Choice". In my view people were taken more with the circumstance that the character "Sophie"was place in, rather than the acting itself and that is what stuck with them through the years

Maggie Smith is my idea of a excellent actress because she admired for her work and not her popularity. Anthony Hopkins another fine actor that comes to mind.

My daughter loves Stephen Colbert. I simply do not like his style of humor and he can smile and smile and beyond it all is darkness.
