She also has 21 nominations, as of this writing, with her nod breaking "her own record to become the most nominated actor in the history of the Academy Awards for the second year in a row. They really, really like her. Nevertheless, once you become a big fish in Hollywood, you're sure to run into a few sharks who'd like to chomp down on your sweet success. Considering she's a coveted actress that seemingly has first dibs on big roles, it's left some of her fellow starlets slightly miffed at the lack of opportunities when going up against the heavy-hitter that is Streep. It's not just the on-set competition, either. Streep also faces controversy outside of Tinseltown. While she's mostly seen as a national treasure, let's take a look at some celebrities who can't stand Meryl Streep. We can only assume this one was a case of jealousy: iconic Hollywood star Katharine Hepburn apparently couldn't stand fellow actress Meryl Streep! Scott Berg published a book about The Philadelphia Story star, based on two decades of conversation with her. Among her "admiration for John Travolta" and "fascination with Michael Jackson," the silver screen delight also had an "intense dislike for Meryl Streep as an actress. While she approved of actresses such as and Melanie Griffith, Hepburn allegedly said Streep was her least favorite, "saying she was too cerebral and over-reliant on technique. Glenn Close, musing she had "big, fat, ugly feet. Considering Streep already had 13 Academy Award noms under her belt up until Hepburn's passing compared to Hepburn's equally impressive 12 noms, including four winsperhaps the legendary performer couldn't handle passing the torch to a new leading lady? They say if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all, yet that hasn't stopped Meryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor Sarandon from airing out her grievances to the press. I am one of those who think Meryl is a great actress. I don't elevate her to the goddess level, but she does get first crack at all the women's roles. If other women had the same shots she's had, they could equal her. It's not like the Big Apple-born celeb hasn't had a successful career — Sarandon's been nominated Meryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor 81 awards and has won 55 of them. Not a bad track record if you ask us. The Harvey Weinstein scandal shook the world incausing numerous Hollywood starlets to speak out against the once-powerful producer. Of course, emotions were running high among all those involved. Cue Meryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor Golden Globes. According to VarietyMeryl Streep, along with numerous fellow actresses elected to wear black in a silent protest against sexual harassment. Apparently, that wasn't enough for McGowan. The Planet Terror star, in a since-deleted tweet, wrote, "Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black goldenglobes in a silent protest. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa. Well, Marchesa is a fashion line co-created by Weinstein's ex-wife, Georgina Chapman. Streep knew she needed to speak out. She released an exclusive statement to Huffington Post via her publicist, Leslee Dart, revealing, in part, "It hurt to be attacked by Rose McGowan in banner headlines this weekend, but Meryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor want to let her know I did not know about Weinstein's crimes, not in the '90s when he attacked her, or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others. I wasn't deliberately silent. I didn't know. Meryl Streep became a target of one of Donald Trump 's infamous Twitter-rants — thanks to her Golden Globes speech. As reported by The New York Timesthe award-winner used her opportunity to bring up a speech given by Trump in Speaking at the Globes, Streep painted the story, "There was one performance this year that stunned me Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can't get it out of my head, because it wasn't in a movie. It was real life. The president's response?

Julia Roberts is no stranger to the Hollywood gossip mill.

In that same Telegraph interview, she said of Streep, "To get to watch her up close and to see her be a real-life person Sharon Stone gave Meryl Streep a bizarre, backhanded compliment that left people scratching their heads as to what she possibly could have meant. Speaking to Tatler magazine via The Telegraph inMeryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor Basic Instinct star revealed her thoughts on why Streep gets so much work in Hollywood. Meryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor me, that looks true. Naturally, Stone's statement made ripples in the tabloid circuit, causing the celeb to explain herself. Speaking to Us WeeklyStone clarified, "It is not OK with me for someone to take a statement I made with good-natured intent and to try and make it into something politically incorrect.

It's no surprise the president's son, Donald Trump Jr. Hmm, what exactly did he mean? Trump Jr. Thanking "God," the star was actually referring to Harvey Weinstein — causing the now-seething Trump Jr. No thanks," his tweet continued.

According to Lagerfeld, the legendary actress ordered a dress for the Oscars and requested an adjustment be made to the design — which he obliged. However, days later, a phone call allegedly came in from a Streep spokesperson. We found somebody who will pay us,'" Lagerfeld told the outlet. A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?

So long, in fact, their feud traces back towhen the now-iconic actress landed her first major role alongside Hoffman in Kramer vs. The details of their quarrel were pretty hush-hush untilwhen an unauthorized Streep by Michael Schulman was published, along with a subsequent Vanity Fair piece. Hoffman is a well-known method actor — something Streep found out firsthand. First, he allegedly slapped her across the face. If that wasn't enough, he then decided to mock the death of Streep's late partner, John Cazale.

After Streep tried re-structuring a scene, Hoffman shot back at her, "Meryl, why don't you stop carrying the flag for feminism and just act the scene.
