This Monday morning, the actress received a nomination for the best performance by a supporting female actor category for her role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, elevating her total nomination count to 33.

In this category, Streep shares the nomination with Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown), Abby Elliott (The Bear), Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets), J. Smith-Cameron (Succession), and Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso).

In "Only Murders," Streep took on the role of Loretta Durkin, an actress featured in Oliver Putnam’s (Martin Short) musical. As the storyline unfolded, she evolved into his love interest, joining forces to uncover the murderers in season three. Showrunner John Hoffman recounted Streep’s casting journey to The Hollywood Reporter after the recent finale, expressing his desire for the iconic actress to make a return in season four.

Transitioning to the small screen, Streep makes her debut in the second episode of "Extrapolation," titled “2046: Whale Fall,” where she shares the screen with Sienna Miller. Streep lends her voice to the last humpback whale on earth, a character also representing Rebecca’s late mother, Eve.

The acclaimed actress, who has previously clinched Oscars and Emmys, boasts a collection of Golden Globes for her outstanding performances in films such as The Iron Lady, The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Angels in America, Adaptation, Julie & Julia, The Devil Wears Prada, Sophie’s Choice, and Kramer vs. Kramer.

Streep was also honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement at the Globes in 2017. This accolade recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the entertainment industry. During her acceptance speech, she addressed the topic of immigration and directed comments towards Donald Trump.

Speaking from the stage, she remarked, “Hollywood is filled with outsiders and foreigners, and if you expel us all, your viewing options will be limited to football and mixed martial arts, which do not qualify as arts.”
