She holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations of any actor, having been nominated 21 times—17 for Best Actress, and four for Best Supporting Actress—since the first nomination in 1978 for her performance in The Deer Hunter . [7] She has won three times for her work in Kramer vs. Kramer (1980), Sophie's Choice (1983), and The Iron Lady (2012), making her the fifth actor to win three competitive acting Academy Awards.

[9] [10] Three years later, she garnered her eighth win for The Iron Lady, more than any actors. [11] [12] She received a record-breaking 30th nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins (2017). [13]
With her fifteenth nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins in 2017, Streep tied with Judi Dench for the most-nominated actor at the BAFTA Awards.

For her work in The Hours , Streep received a Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival, who later recognized her with an Honorary Golden Bear at their 62nd ceremony. Her portrayal as Lindy Chamberlain in Evil Angels [b] earned her a Cannes Film Festival Award.
In 1976, Streep won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Performance for her stage debut in Trelawny of the 'Wells' and Tennessee Williams' 27 Wagons Full of Cotton . [15] The latter work also earned her nominations for Best Actress at the Drama Desk and Tony Award. The following year, she was a double nominee at the Drama Desk Award for the featured role in The Cherry Orchard and starred in the musical Happy End. Streep won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress – Miniseries or a Movie for her roles in the miniseries Holocaust (1978) and Angels in America (2003). She also won Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Narrator for her work on documentary Five Came Back (2017). [16]
In 1983, Yale University, from which Streep graduated in 1975, [17] awarded her an Honorary Degree, a Doctorate of Fine Arts. [18] The first university to award her an Honorary Degree was Dartmouth College, where she spent time as a transfer student in 1970, in 1981. In 1998, Women in Film awarded Streep with the Crystal Award. [19] In 1999, she was awarded a George Eastman Award, given by George Eastman House for distinguished contribution to the art of film. [20] In 2004, at the Moscow International Film Festival, she was honored with the Stanislavsky Award for the outstanding achievement in the career of acting and devotion to the principles of Stanislavsky's school.
