Everyone talks aboutMeryl Streep’s record-settingnumber of Academy Award nominations, but perhaps even more impressive is the number of Golden Globe Award nominations she’s received:33, as of this year,with her latest nod for her role onOnly Murders in the Building.

And on top of her 33 nominations for her specific roles, Streep took homethe Cecil B. DeMille Awardin 2017 for “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment” (previous recipients includeDenzel Washington,Martin Scorsese,Robin WilliamsandAudrey Hepburn— to name a few).

In honor of Streep’s incredible feat — only Jack Lemmon has even come close, with 22 nominations (and a Cecil. B. DeMille Award of his own) — we’re looking back at the roles that got her the accolades.

Streep’s first Golden Globe nomination was also her first for the Academy Awards. Though she lost out on both prizes for her turn as the girlfriend of a fallen soldier in Vietnam, the role helped establish Streep as one to watch in the awards show game.

1980:Kramer vs. Kramer

WON

One to watch, no more: Streep catapulted to Golden Globe success when she snagged the best supporting actress in a drama trophy forKramer vs. Kramer, in which she played a woman who leaves her husband and is in the throes of divorce. While the film won best picture that year,there was lots of drama behind the scenesbetween the lead actors.

1982:The French Lieutenant’s Woman

Little did she know in ’80, butKramer vs. Kramerwas the start of a Golden Globe-winning streak for Streep. She won best actress in a leading role forThe French Lieutenant’s Womantwo years later.

1983:Sophie’s Choice

1984:Silkwood

Though ’84 ended Streep’s winning streak, the nominations kept coming. InSilkwood, she played real-life whistleblower and activist Karen Silkwood.

1986:Out of Africa

The film adaptation of Baroness Karen von Blixen’s memoir about her life in Kenya was the vehicle for Streep’s sixth nomination; she starred oppositeRobert Redford.

1988:Ironweed

Playing the lover ofJack Nicholson’s character, an unhoused man who abandons his family, Streep nabbed another actress in a leading role nomination in 1988.

1989:A Cry in the Dark

For her seventh and final nomination of the 1980s, Streep played the wife of a Seventh-day Adventist pastor who is charged with the murder of her infant daughter —based on the true storyof Lindy Chamberlain.

1990:She-Devil

Streep doesn’t do comedy often, especially in the ’80s, but she was picture-perfect as the antagonist toRoseanne Barr’s crazed woman scorned (and on a mission for revenge).

1991:Postcards from the Edge

1993:Death Becomes Her

You can’t stop Streep: She picked up her 11th nomination in ’93 for the musical-comedy-horror hybrid.

1995:The River Wild

Even in an action-packed flick, Streep scored. For this rafting adventure gone south, she earned a leading actress nomination.

1996:The Bridges of Madison County

Yet another nomination came in ’96, withThe Bridges of Madison County, in which she played an Iowa woman who has an affair with aNational Geographicphotographer.

1997:Marvin’s Room

At this point, Streep could expect Golden Globe nominations for practically every year she worked. In ’97, she earned a nomination forMarvin’s Room, in which she starred in alongsideDiane KeatonandLeonardo DiCaprio.

1998:…First Do No Harm

1999:One True Thing

Her fourth nomination in a row! In this familial drama,Renée Zellwegerplayed Streep’s daughter as the two work on their relationship while Streep’s character grapples with cancer.

2000:Music of the Heart

Streep doesn’t do anything half-heartedly. So when she played violinist Roberta Guaspari inMusic of the Heart, she studied the violin for months, even learning to play one of Bach’s concertos for the role.

2003:Adaptation

2003:The Hours

That same year, she was also nominated for her role inThe Hours, but lost out to costarNicole Kidman.

2004:Angels in America

Her second television win came in 2004, forAngels in America, in which she played four different parts, including a male rabbi. Sadly, she only got one trophy for this win.

2007:The Devil Wears Prada

WIN

2009:Doubt

As a super-strict nun inDoubt,Streep was utterly convinced of a priest’s sexual misconduct with a boy in their parish. The film also featuredPhilip Seymour Hoffman,Amy AdamsandViola Davis, who were all nominated for their roles.

2009:Mamma Mia!

And for her other nominated performance of the year, Streep stepped into a completely different character inMamma Mia!as a fun-loving mom preparing to send her daughter down the aisle while dancing to ABBA songs.

2010:Julie & Julia

Streep snagged two of the five nominations for actress in a comedy or musical in ’10, forJulie & JuliaandIt’s Complicated. In the first, she took home the prize for her portrayal of iconic chef Julia Child (and absolutelynailedher one-of-a-kind voice).

2010:It’s Complicated

And while she beat herself in the category, the second role saw Streep as a modern woman (with an amazing kitchen, thank you Nancy Meyers) going through a complicated almost-reunion with her ex,Alec Baldwin.

Awards shows love when actors and actresses play real people (bonus points if they’re still alive!), and Streep’s take on Britain’s first female prime minister was so unforgettable, it won her her first Oscar since 1983, too.

2013:Hope Springs

2014:August: Osage County

When you need an over-the-top matriarch in your movie, you call Streep. She played just that (with a whole lot of dysfunction) in the starry film adaption of the Broadway play.

2015:Into the Woods

As the witch in Stephen Sondheim’s fairy tale with a twist, Streep nabbed a supporting actress nomination.

2017:Florence Foster Jenkins

Her next nomination came for her role asFlorence Foster Jenkins, in which she played a wealthy woman with big dreams of singing, but without the perfect pitch (or any pitch, really) to do so.

2020:Big Little Lies

2024:Only Murders in the Building

Streep’s most recent nomination was the result of her role on Hulu’sOnly Murders in the Buildingas actress and murder suspect Loretta Durkin, whose apartment was sprinkled with Easter eggs from Streep’s real-life roles of the past —courtesy of the show’s clever production designer, Rich Murray.
