So it was
The Iron Lady and
Albert Nobbs as a double bill tonight - the shopkeeper's daughter who would be a politician followed by a parentless daughter who would be a shopkeeper. Maggie's puffy power do followed by Albert's camouflage crew cut. Powder blue dresses and pearls followed by dark suits and fob watches. Snobby, British upper class repression of the poor followed by snobby, Irish upper class repression of the poor.
And, of course, Meryl the Magnificent followed by Glenn the Great. Which of these two will get the coveted 2012 Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar? I'd suggest that the Academy flip a coin to decide (unless one of the other contenders unexpectedly gets a guernsey).
