Category: Best Actress
Year: 1982
Meryl Streep has delivered some stupendous Oscar winning performances and you could rightfully debate which one had been her best to date. However, her Oscar winning performance in “Sophie’ Choice” has to go down as one of the best performances of her career.
Streep was magnificent throughout the movie, and it all boils down to “the scene” on which the entire movie hinges on. It was the moment when we come to know about Sophie’s choice and why it has haunted her for years. It was delivered so majestically that even seeing it today, it leaves audiences riveted when they see Sophie screaming after she has made her choice.
