Meryl Streep takes third career Oscar - Yahoo!
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Meryl Streep, who holds the record with 17 for the most Academy Award nominations by any actor, won the Oscar for best lead actress on Sunday for her portrayal of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
It was Streep's third Academy Award, but her first since winning the Oscar for "Sophie's Choice" in 1982. She was also honored for the 1979 film "Kramer vs. Kramer," and had long been considered overdue for another Academy Award.
Accepting her award, Streep sounded less like a winning actress than a star who had just received a lifetime achievement award.
"I really understand that I'll never be up here again," she said in an emotional speech in which she congratulated Roy Helland, her hair stylist for 37 years and who shared this year's Oscar for makeup with Mark Coulier for "The Iron Lady."
