EW’s Puts Streep on the Cover for Subscribers Only

Posted by Susan Thea Posnock On November - 30 - 2008

Apparently, this was sent to subscribers only, while the Twilight cover hit the news stands.

I don’t know if this is their “official” Oscar issue or not – it’s the beginning of December so maybe it is. It can’t be.  Their official issue will either have to have Heath Ledger and the Dark Knight crew on it or else the Benjamin Button crew.  Milk might also take it.   Then again, it could be Slumdog?  Can they sell magazines with Danny Boyle and non-stars?  Hm.  My money is on Ben Button – Pitt and Blanchett.

This week, Meryl Streep is on the cover and our friends over at Oh No They Didn’t has posted scans of the Streep article, along with a Best Pic rundown of how the films stand.  We already know which films Karger chose but it’s interesting to read the “why it gets in, why it doesn’t” parts.

They also have a thermometer of the actors and I swear it looks like Sally Hawkins where Kristin Scott Thomas should be.  Have a look at the cover and the Oscar bits after the cut but if you’d like to see the whole thing, go to ONTD.

    You apparently only get the “Meryl” cover if you are a subscriber. If you buy it in the stores it has the guy from Twilight on the cover. I know this has nothing to do with what you wrote, I just think it’s sad that Meryl got bumped for Twilight.

    I agree.

    Streep is also #11 on EW’s Entertainers of the Year list, ahead of Richard Jenkins, Jon Hamm, Elizabeth Banks, WALL-E and James Franco.
    (Downey Jr. is #1.)

    Meryl deserves every single praise. She is just amazing. And she is so down to earth. It is always pleasure to watch her interviews on TV. I think two other actresses who may become Meryl of their generations (even though they are more or less the same generation) are Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett. They are good at whatever they do.

  5. Paul Outlaw November 30th, 2008 at 12:13 pm 5

    Sasha, that does look like Sally Hawkins! (Then again, it also looks like Chloe Sevigny where Winslet should be, so it could be just a trick of the eye.)

  6. Wael November 30th, 2008 at 12:32 pm 6

    nope. I have the issue and it is Sally Hawkins. Oh EW, why?

  7. Sofía November 30th, 2008 at 12:46 pm 7

    I think in this magazine there was an error is Sally Hawkins under the name Scott Thomas, what happened here, but with Hawkins and Scott Thomas must be on the list ahead of Beckinsale and Leo.
    The list was surely Streep, Blanchett, Winslet, Hawkins, Scott Thomas, Hathaway, Leo.
    There should be a clarification.

    what’s that weird shadow on Meryl’s face? it’s off-putting.

  9. DBibby November 30th, 2008 at 2:13 pm 9

    That Hawkins/Scott Thomas mix-up is hilarious! I guess they’re able to mention 9 contenders this way :-p

  10. Carlen November 30th, 2008 at 3:43 pm 10

    Got my copy on Friday!

  11. Michael November 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm 11

    It is Sally Hawkins with Thomas’ name.
    It’s just very funny when you think about how VERY different those two roles were this year. I started imagining Poppy as the star of I’ve Loved You So Long. Now that would be interesting.

    It’s weird too because I saw both those movies on the same day.

  14. David Acacia December 1st, 2008 at 3:21 pm 14

    That is weird; I too saw Happy-Go-Lucky and I’ve Loved You So Long on the same day! I saw Happy-Go-Lucky first, though.

    “I caught The Hurt Locker again last night. What a great film. Kathryn Bigelow is probably the most deserving of the nominees. I think if Cameron does pull off the upset, I don’t think sexism will be the problem. I think box office receipts and a concern with AMPAS trying to be “relevant” with the general public will be the actual result. Which brings me to this issue:

    I do not understand why some critics out there think that the Academy should pick films that are more mainstream? I heard a commentator the other day saying that the 2008 (No Country for Old Men) ceremony was one of the most boring telecasts in the Academy’s history. Yes, it had their lowest ratings ever. But even if this makes me come off as snobbish, that explanation is a bunch of horseshit. 2007 was a great year in movies, and if LCD (lowest common denominator) critics and audiences don’t like it, tough.

    Since I consider myself a film buff, it doesn’t bother me when the Academy pick films that general audiences may have a problem with. Let us be honest, your average film goer usually does not have the greatest taste in the world. And “difficult” films are usually more profound and original.

    On a side note, I finally got around to seeing Julie & Julia this morning. Meryl Streep SHOULD NOT win the Oscar this year. That performance was ok, but not her greatest. Her performance in Doubt was a lot better. Mulligan and Sidibe should be the two actresses vying for the award, but that certainly is not the case. Honestly, I think I will be disappointed if Streep or Bullock win this year. Neither performance was that spectacular, in relation to the competition.”
