Streep that same year cohosted the annual Nobel Peace Prize concert as well as appeared in the popular play The Seagull. In 2002, Streep appeared in the films Adaptation and The Hours. In 2003, Streep appeared unaccredited in the comedy Stuck on You and starred in the HBO play adaptation Angels in America. In 2004, Streep was awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award and in that same year starred in the films The Manchurian Candidate and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. In 2005, Streep starred in the film Prime. Streep began 2006 with the film A Prairie Home Companion and that same year starred in The Devil Wears Prada and the stage production Mother Courage and Her Children. In 2007, Streep appeared in the films Dark Matter, Rendition, Evening, and Lions for Lambs. In 2008, Streep starred in the films Mamma Mia! and Doubt. In 2009, Streep starred in Julie & Julia and It’s Complicated as well as loaning her voice to the animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox. ==2001–2005== In 2001, Meryl Streep voiced the Blue Fairy in Steven Spielberg's ''A.I. Artificial Intelligence'' based on Brian Aldiss' short story ''Super-Toys Last All Summer Long'', first published in 1969. A CGI-driven science fiction film, initially conceived by Stanley Kubrick in the early 1970s, it revolves about a childlike android, played by Haley Joel Osment, uniquely programmed with the ability to love. A critical and commercial success, the film collected US$235.9 million at international box offices.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=ai.htm )〕 The same year, Streep co-hosted the annual Nobel Peace Prize concert with Liam Neeson which was held in Oslo, Norway on December 11, 2001 in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the United Nations and Kofi Annan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nobelpeaceprize.org/concert/history/2001.php )〕 and, after a stage absence of more than twenty years, she persuaded Mike Nichols to stage Anton Chekhov's popular play ''The Seagull'' at the open air Delacorte Theater in New York, playing actress Irina Nikolayevna Arkadina. Co-starring Kevin Kline, Marcia Gay Harden, Natalie Portman and her eldest son Henry, the play received favorable reviews, with ''The New York Times'' remarking, "two decades in front of movie cameras haven't diminished her capacity for looming large from a stage. Streep has drawn a portrait of comic ruthlessness and gentle understanding." In Spike Jonze's 2002 comedy-drama ''Adaption'', Streep portrayed Susan Orlean, a real-life journalist whose book is to be adapted by screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, played by Nicolas Cage. Streep, who declared the screenplay one of "the most interesting and ambiguous scripts () in a long time," expressed dire interest in the role before being cast, and took a salary cut in recognition of the film's budget of US$19 million. Lauded by critics and viewers alike,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Adaptation'' (2002) )〕 the film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Streep,〔 who David Ansen of ''Newsweek'' felt had not "been this much fun to watch in years." While ''Adaption'' ended Streep's winning drought at the Golden Globes when she — after thirteen nominations — was awarded her first trophy since 1982's ''Sophie's Choice'' in 2003, she received a second nomination by the Hollywood Foreign Press for her participation in another project that year: Stephen Daldry's ''The Hours'' (2002).〔 In ''The Hours'', featuring Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore, Streep played the role of Clarissa, a literary editor who is followed for one climactic day, during which she plans a party for her long-time friend and one-time lover, played by Ed Harris, who is wasting away from AIDS. Based on the 1999 novel of the same title by Michael Cunningham, the episodic film focuses on three women of different generations whose lives are interconnected by the 1925 novel ''Mrs. Dalloway'' by Virginia Woolf. Generally well-received, ''The Hours'' was praised for the performances of all three leading actresses, who shared a Silver Bear for Best Actress the following year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000658/awards )〕 Peter Travers of ''Rolling Stone'' commented, "These three unimprovable actresses make ''The Hours'' a thing of beauty () Streep is a miracle worker, building a character in the space between words and worlds." The film grossed US$108.8 million worldwide on a budget of US$25 million, the majority of which came from foreign markets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hours.htm )〕 In 2003, Streep appeared uncredited as herself in the Farrelly brothers film ''Stuck on You'', a comedy about conjoined twins, played by Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear, who wish to move to Hollywood to pursue a career as an actor. Streep, who filmed her part within three days, was required to perform a musical version of ''Bonnie & Clyde'' in the film. The same year, she reunited with Mike Nichols to star alongside Al Pacino, Emma Thompson and Mary-Louise Parker in the HBO adaptation of Tony Kushner's six-hour play ''Angels in America'', the story of two couples whose relationships dissolve amidst the backdrop of Reagan Era politics, the spreading AIDS epidemic and a rapidly changing social and political climate. As done in the play, some of the actors played multiple parts in the mini-series, with Streep portraying three different characters: an Orthodox rabbi, a Mormon woman and American communist Ethel Rosenberg. The mini-series became the most watched made-for-cable movie in 2003, and garnered 21 Emmy Award and five Golden Globe nominations, winning Streep one award each.〔 In 2004, Streep became the youngest woman to ever be awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award by the Board of Directors of the American Film Institute, which honors an individual for a lifetime contribution to enriching American culture through motion pictures and television.〔 The same year, she appeared with Denzel Washington in Jonathan Demme's ''The Manchurian Candidate'', a remake of the same-titled 1962 film based on the 1959 novel by Richard Condon. Streep, who did not know the original movie prior to filming, took over a role originated by Angela Lansbury, playing a U.S. senator and manipulative, ruthless mother of a vice-presidential candidate, played by Liev Schreiber. On her Golden Globe-nominated performance, Mick LaSalle of the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' commented that "no one can talk about the acting in ''The Manchurian Candidate'' without rhapsodizing about Streep. She's a pleasure to watch — and to marvel at — every second she's onscreen." The thriller became a moderate box office success, grossing US$96 million worldwide on a budget of US$80 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=manchuriancandidate.htm )〕 Also in 2004, Streep appeared alongside Jim Carrey and Timothy Spall in Brad Silberling's adaption ''Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events''. Based on the first three novels in Snicket's popular children's book series, the black comedy tells the story of Count Olaf (Carrey), a mysterious theater troupe actor, who attempts to deceive three orphans over their deceased parents' fortune. Streep was cast in the role of the children's overanxious Aunt Josephine, a character she has described as "a great tremulous bird of a person." The film received generally favorable reviews from critics,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'' (2004) )〕 who called it "exceptionally clever, hilariously gloomy and bitingly subversive," and was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning in the Best Makeup category. Though the film became a financial success, grossing US$209 million on a budget of US$140 million, plans to expand the film into a franchise failed to materialize.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=lemonysnicket.htm )〕 Streep's was next cast in the 2005 romantic comedy ''Prime'', directed by Ben Younger. In the film, she plays a Jewish New York psychoanalyst, whose 23-year-old son (played by Bryan Greenberg) enters a relationship with one of her patients, a divorced 37-year-old business-woman, played by Uma Thurman, resulting into a dilemma of two conflicting intentions. Streep welcomed the opportunity to reprise her comedic talent, though she and Younger agreed on her not consciously playing the part for laughs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.primemovie.net/site/index.php )〕 ''Prime'' received generally mixed reviews, with many critics declaring it another formulaic Hollywood rom-com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prime/ )〕 Desson Thomson of the ''Washington Post'' commented that the film followed a familiar boy-meets-girl scenario, but found that Younger had turned "the routine into combustible fun" and that "Streep, meant to be the third party here, rapidly becomes the drama's most entertaining nucleus." A modest mainstream success, the film eventually grossed US$67.9 million internationally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=prime.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meryl Streep in the 2000s」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
