Meryl Streep and ’Big Little Lies’ will win all the awards.
There’s no reason to do another season of Big Little Lies, they said. It was supposed to be a limited series, they said. The ending worked as is, they said.
HBO has heard your complaints and they have a two-word response: Meryl Streep. According to Entertainment Weekly, the three-time Oscar winner has joined the cast of Big Little Lies season two, alongside returning stars Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Zoë Kravitz.
She will play Mary Louise Wright, Kidman’s mother-in-law.
In her bid for an EGOT, Streep has been nominated for four Emmys (winning three times), five Grammys (no wins), 21 Oscars, and one Tony (she lost). Big Little Lies basically won every award it was nominated for. So, you’d think Streep + Big Little Lies would be an unstoppable trophy-eating machine. But! Big Little Lies will compete in the Outstanding Drama Series category at the Emmys for season two… so it will only win most, not all, of the awards.
