One Oscar Nomination - Meryl Streep (Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role)
Julie and Julia is a blogger's dream. Julie who has lost everything till now but not her loving and encouraging and SAINT husband. Julie started as a writer, which is also her dream to be a big big writer with lots of money, but now she is working as a call center executive. So, encouraged by her husband, she starts blogging. At start, she goes through the same, what to write when she finds her passion of cooking. She goes through her favorite book "Mastering The Art Of French Cooking". She picks it up and decides to cook and blog about the 524 recipe. She wants to complete this thing as she thinks she hasn't completed anything which she started.
On the other hand, the movie also shows, in parallel, the life of Julia Child's. Julia child, who is forced to move to Paris, France when her husband was transferred to France. She goes through a lot of different activities or hobbies so that she can remain occupied but nothing works out. So, she starts cooking and learning French Cooking. She meets different people who liked her cooking. She also finds friends or colleauges and inspiration to write a book so that Americans can also learn french cooking. So after 8 years of stuggle and wait she finally publishes the best seller's of all time cook books.
The movie boasts of Meryl Steep "the best actress" for me atleast. No need to say that you should look for Meryl Streep, cause she stands out from the other cast. Amy adams has done a brilliant work to keep up with Meryl Streep though both of them aren't sharing screen space.
Watch this movie and you'll be a fan of Meryl Streep, if in case you were not till now.
