Meryl Streep. I think she's the most overrated actress of all-time and it drives me crazy how she seems to get an Oscar nomination just for breathing. Also for the "GOAT" actress, her filmography is mediocre. Maybe her constant chewing of the scenery makes it difficult to have a truly great movie with her as the central character. I don't think it's a coincidence that the few great films she's been involved in (Kramer vs. Kramer, Deer Hunter, Adaptation, Manhattan) was with her taking a back seat in a supporting role.

Cosign on all of this. I don't particularly dislike her, I just feel like she's one of the most overrated actors/actresses ever.

My wife and I had a similar conversation a few years ago. She was talking about how she loves Meryl Streep and how she's the greatest, and my response was "really? Name me three of her movies." She couldn't.
