Meryl Streep Breaks Own Record for Most Oscar Noms with "The Post"

For almost 40 years Meryl Streep, has portrayed an astonishing array of characters in a career that has cut its own unique path. She has won three Academy Awards and just days ago, in a record that is unsurpassed, she earned a 21st Academy Award nomination for her role in Steven Spielberg's, The Post (in Philippine cinemas February 21).

Marking their historic, first-ever on-screen collaboration, Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in The Post, a thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington Post’s Katharine Graham (Streep), the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, and editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), as they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. Presidents. The two must overcome their differences as they risk their careers – and their very freedom – to help bring long-buried truths to light.
