Oscars 2017: Meryl Streep Makes History
Streep currently holds the record for most nominated actress in Oscar history.

LOS ANGELES -- With more nominations (20 total) than any actress - living or dead - Streep has amassed three Oscars in just over three decades. She received her first nomination in 1979 and won her first statuette the following year as a supporting actress in Robert Benton's Kramer vs. Kramer. The film received rave reviews, making her a star. She garnered two more Oscar wins for best actress - one for Sophie's Choice in 1983 and a third for The Iron Lady in 2012.

Streep could get her fourth Oscar win this year for her role as the lead in Florence Foster Jenkins, a British biographical comedy-drama film. Should she win, she would tie with actress Katharine Hepburn for most wins by any actor.

Live Red Carpet coverage begins Sunday, Feb. 26 at 5 p.m. ET | 2 p.m. PT with ON THE RED CARPET AT THE OSCARS. Check your local listings.
