Daily Dose: THE IRON LADY Looks to top polls in December

This teaser has been out for a while, but as the awards season grows ever nearer, it does appear that “The Iron Lady” will be very much in the mix.

Directed by Phyllida Lloyd Meryl Streep plays Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Judging from the teaser embedded below, Streep will likely make a run at another nomination for Best Actress. Given the ripped from history subject matter, it is impossible not to make comparisons to “The Queen” and even to “Frost/Nixon.” “The Iron Lady’s” script is from Abi Morgan who has been getting notice for another well thought of 2011 release Steve McQueen’s “Shame.”

We will get to find out if “The Iron Lady” will top the polls come the 16th of December when it begins its theatrical run.
