Watch Meryl & Julia's 'August' Mourning

August: Osage County was an award show juggernaut in 2008, taking home Tonys for Best Play, Best Leading Actress in a Play, Best Featured Actress in a Play and Best Direction of a Play. It also acquired equal accolades at The Drama Desk Awards, The Drama League Awards, The Outer Critics Circle Awards, The New York Drama Critics Circle Awards, The Theatre World Awards and won The Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Now, the feature film adaptation looks to be a comparable awards monster.
