We've seen the pics of Meryl Streep's amazing transformation into Margaret Thatcher for the upcoming biopic, The Iron Lady. Now comes a new trailer that backs 'em up!

Sure, upon watching the clip above, it certainly seems as if the film will do a pretty thorough job at recalling both the personal and professional life of the former British Prime Minister. But it's also quite the showcase for Streep's enormous talents. Then again, when are any of her films not?

In this case, however,  the two-time Oscar winner appears to have outdone herself. So, here's a thought. How about we just save everyone from spending a whole lot of time and money on Best Actress campaigns and simply hand Streep her third golden guy now?
