There���s no competing with Meryl Streep.

The longtime actress earned her 21st Oscar nomination, an all-time record for the most acting nominations -- besting only herself.

Streep���s nomination for Best Actress comes for her portrayal of publisher Katharine��Graham in The Post. The film tells the story of the owner of the Washington Post up against the difficult position of whether or not to publish the Pentagon Papers, going against a President Nixon-ordered court injunction and risking the newspaper���s IPO as it prepares to go public.

Of course, this is not the only record Streep maintains. She holds the current record for most competitive Golden Globe wins with eight trophies and the record for most nominations for any person with 31. She was also honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2016.

The 90th annual Academy Awards will be hosted live by Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, March 4 starting at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on ABC.
