The Oscars may be made out of edible gold this year.

Meryl Streep is a "Best Actress" nominee by the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her portrayal of the late, vivacious Julia Child in "Julie and Julia." This is Streep's unprecedented 16th Oscar nomination.

"Julia, that spirit was very like my mother's spirit," Streep recently told ABC World News. "Joie de vivre. She had it. And a great sense of fun and [an] infectious ability to bring people along in whatever adventure she cared to take charge of."

"Food, Inc.," an eye-opening account about our nation's food industry also received a nod in the "Best Documentary" category.

For this palatable awards' season, we salute the Academy with Child's signature -- a jovial "Bon Appétit!"
