    Meryl Streep is "shocked" that Tom Hanks hasn't been nominated for an Oscar in nearly two decades

    The 'Post' star is surprised her co-star hasn't been up for a gong at the Academy Awards in 17 years and hopes that will all change during this year's ceremony


    She told Entertainment Weekly: "That he hasn’t been nominated in 17 years, I’m actually shocked, because the work we’ve seen is at such a consistently high level. And this role [in The Post] of Ben Bradlee, in particular, has a dynamism. Tom steps outside of anything we’ve seen before."

    Tom, 61, previously admitted one of the reasons why he was attracted to the project was the similarities between then and now.

    He shared: "I said: 'Well, look, this is ridiculously timely, and the even better part of it is: this is the story of the week that [Washington Post publisher] Katharine Graham became Katharine Graham.' It had a very human element to it. I felt immediately that this was not just going to be a museum piece, but it was going to get into very, very human details of essentially these two people - Graham and Ben Bradlee.

    "He had a love for the woman, because he had this great empathy for what she had been through. He had great respect for the class that she demonstrated through her entire life. But [he also] had a very strict determination of what a newspaper's job was. Ben knew the role of the Fourth Estate in society. So, all that stuff put together, I thought, was a pretty prescient story. It had an awful lot of parallels to 2017."
