She said she found the quest for Academy Awards distasteful.

Streep put in wrong SAG category
Posted: 2003-02-01 |
A studio mistake left Meryl Streep competing against herself for the Screen
Actors Guild Awards, possibly costing her one if not two
nominations. A Sony spokesman said a studio employee incorrectly submitted
Streep's name in the lead-actress category for "Adaptation". The studio considers
it a supporting-actress role and has been pushing Streep in that category for
other film awards.
The mistake may have split Streep's votes between "Adaptation" and her other
contending role for "The Hours," which Paramount also had submitted in the
lead-actress category.
