Jason Izaq He wasn’t president when he said that. Plus he was making a factual point about gold-digging women who fuck rich and powerful men. Besides, are you telling me that you’ve never made a vulgar comment to a friend about the opposite sex? If not - you’re too pathetic for words.
The Artist Formally Known As Shitlord Yeah, he sure seems changed by the office. And I seem to recall that he was talking about all women "And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." (dialogue is on youtube if you want to check, else here's the transcript : www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/donald-trump-tape-transcript.html) So just to be clear, do you think someone is "pathetic" for being respectful and decent about the opposite sex, even out of earshot ?
Melina Martin The operative word there being “let”. Yep. It’s utterly pathetic. They were just words. They weren’t actions. When I see 5 menopausal woman sat on a daytime tv show - that regularly garners 10 million+ viewers - laughing hysterically over a news story about some woman cutting off her husband’s penis and throwing it into waste disposal, I tend not to be phased by the bravado that’s often produced between groups of men. Sorry.
How is calling the literal oldest art in the world "not art", not spreading hate? The martial arts not only are the oldest in the world, the first art colleges were built at martial training schools and those very same martial arts remained at art colleges up through most of the 1800s when they were moved to specialized schools. She also did this in the context that somehow Trump was going to try to "Destroy" the arts when the man mastered using it so much Hollywood used him up until the moment he announced he was running for President...only to then use these very same morons to keep himself in the news every moment of every day since then.
She knows nothing about polictics and economices and should shut up. She needs to stick to her day job. She is so arrogant that she thinks being a great actress makes her competent to blab about anything. Think about it, 50 % of the country is watching this with horror and fear that with the left, this country will go to hell.
@@onetwo19 "economices" Oh Lord. She didn't even mention economics. And NOTHING she said was intrinsically political. Name the political policies she criticized that are specifically conservative Republican principles. You can't, because there weren't any. She just named a bunch of bad qualities that she said she thinks are dangerous when exhibited by a powerful person. If you think your guy doesn't display any of those qualities, then what are you whining about?
Meryl Streep has a house in Aspen where she spends a few months of the year. According to the locals she only responds to the name of Mrs Green . My Australian friend stays at a ski lodge not far from Meryl's home. One morning he walked past her on the balcony drinking a coffee , he said loudly " good morning Mrs Green " & she looked down at him and smiled and replied " good morning kind Sir ".
I still remember the day my mother calls herself old and ugly until we watched Dame Meryl Streep together. "That woman is a decade older than you, do you call her old or ugly?", I asked. I think something changed inside my beautiful mom at that moment. I will always be thankful for that.
Tauqeer Khan lol you’re calling her disrespectful for speaking out against a president that has been disrespectful and spewing hateful rhetoric and propaganda?? How is courageously speaking out against a bully being disrespectful??
She's is one of the Best Actresses in the Business, over 40 Years of Acting. Gotten 32 Golden Globe Nominations and 21 Oscar Nominations for her Performances !!!
Yup and she should not quit her day job. Just because you are great at one thing, doesn't mean you know everything about everything. I've met so many people like that. They are corrupted by their arrogance.
Adored Viola's introduction, Meryl is the best actress of her and our generation... I love how the Mamma mia soundtrack is played every time she makes an entrance
Me too! 🙋🏻♀️ I’ve watched this many many times. I shared it with my Mother and brother this morning, in hopes that they’ll listen and be as inspired by it as I am! 🧏🏻♀️🤞 Dame Streep, and Davis are wonderfullllll Women! 👏💪👏🫶
@@onetwo19 She voiced her opinion on someone imitating a disabled reporter which anyone with an ounce of compassion and empathy would do. I know when I watched him imitate that disabled reporter I was disgusted. Why weren’t you?
"Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose... " - hits even harder after what happened in Washington!
@@karenherrera3961 GOP: The majority didn't vote for him the first time. They didn't vote for him the second time. So here's a great idea: let's nominate him a THIRD time! O H..... M Y..... G O D!!!!!!
Lost any respect for her that night. I hate actors who take advantage of awards ceremonies for anything else. Just say thank you to your audience and get lost.
Taylor Underwood Thank you. It is I think quite cynical to believe that by virtue of her role as an actor she must be faking any sentiment she expresses publicly, especially when it is over the death of a friend of hers. In public interactions last year with Carrie’s daughter Billie she is very familiar, very maternal, touching her face and caressing her head fondly. As an actress is she going to emote more and communicate it when giving a public address: absolutely! Does that mean the sentiments expressed are not genuine? There is no evidence for that.
Carrie and Meryl were close enough friends that Carrie asked Meryl to be her daughter Billie's godmother...so maybe she was upset she had to speak of her dear friend in the past tense less than a month after her unexpected passing?
I love and admire so much beyond her contribution as an actress but also as an advocate for humanity and compassion. Her humility and wisdom constantly inspires me in so many ways. Thank you so much for uploading this video!
This is such a lovely and wonderful compliment! Truly. ❤❤❤ She inspires me so much as well. I’m glad to be alive to witness her talent. Can you believe I just recently saw Sophie’s Choice?!! I can’t believe I went all those years without knowing it. 🤩 WOW…. what a performance! A masterclass of acting.
This speech is powerful and it was so important, at the time, almost four years ago, now. We needed speeches like this to give us hope; those of us who knew what horrors were coming shed many years after Trump won because we knew he would attack immigrants and minorities. This speech was a Godsend at that time. Thank you Meryl.
Migrants can come, legally! Now see all of them coming in. Our kids pay for college. They come & go for free. Taxpayers pay for it all! American wake up! It is not right
5:55 just this one little scene from a film I haven't watched in over 20 years almost brought me to tears. I'm a Dad and that's probably a small part of the reason but Meryl's performance in Kramer vs Kramer was so powerful, that it can evoke those types of emotions in an instant, is a testament to her skill as an actress. This honor was so well deserved and a perfect tribute to a wonderful performer.
Pffft! Another brain-washed leftist. The amount of idiocy in her speech is only surpassed by gullible people like you who think that rich and famous actors (who, like her, support pervs like Epstein) have somehow got a moral high-ground or more knowledge about politics than others. Ricky Gervais put them (and her) in their place!
@@shtroizn Ricky Gervis is a talentless hack. Because he did not become as successful as he wanted in Hollywood he is constantly bashing other talented and successful actors and actresses.
@@shtroizn Remember your idiot childish president Trump claims he is ultra rich too. So when you want to bash rich liberals, remember a lot of right wing is rich. The difference is the right wing does not want to do anything to help the working class. They want to keep them in need so they can rule them.
Key word: "artists." Meryl Streep is not a political expert, and she needs to shut up and act. It is what she is good at and why she is famous. She does not understand how the world works any better than the average Jospehine.
W how is it hypocritical of her to courageously speaking out against a bullying pathological liar’s behavior? Whether you agree with Trump’s policies or not you have to admit he must be held accountable for the way he treats people
@Kamron Ramelmeier how do you feel about Meryl Streep defending child rapist Roman Polanski and calling Harvey Weinstein a God, even though it was an open secret that Weinstein was molesting women. Was she courageous then?
William I agree! I avoid anything that has to do with her. She knew the open secret and o ly used it to virtue signal when it appeared appropriate.. applauding pedophiles and rapists. Lost all respect for her she is a complete fraud.
Will for speaking out against someone who literally mocked a disabled reporter? For not having the same political views as you? You try getting into Yale and winning an Oscar!
@@kamronramelmeier9264 why do you casually ignore all the awful things shes said? And before you call me a trump supporter, I'm not at all, I'm not even american
W not a single thing she said was awful. She remained very civil and polished the whole time and did not say one nasty word, in fact her vocabulary is much better than Trumps’. She courageously spoke out against his actions and is a brave woman for standing up for our country. She did nothing wrong
I agree with you, the speech of this woman was amazing! Totally Marvelous! I totally agree with her. Finally someone stand for all of us! I think all woman's should stand for justice.
@@nevenanadj8544 Cuz i have seen the videp from the other side and there was an interivew of priyanka chopra where she told that she shouted bravoo when she (meryl) won the awrd
How prophetic Ms. Streep's acceptance speech came to be. All of us who knew what would be his legacy were not surprised but still so heartbreaking to watch.
He didn't just make fun of a disabled reporter. He just *recently* made fun of President Biden's stutter. Positively. VILE! BRAVO, Meryl Streep. You speak Power, Truth, Love and Compassion.
Meryl Streep's talents and artistry are one thing, but the way she stands up to the most destructive anti-American president we've had in the history of this great country is the most extraordinary part of her beauty.
motivational???? A total downer trying to educate about politics and economics that she know nothing about, even trashing martial arts without knowing about all the technique that takes 20 years to hone. She is a bigot and did not leave me feeling motivated.
When you see her you see a sweet innocent girl, a kind lady and a powerful woman... you love her because of the human she is. I aspire to be a human she is.
@@Bob-pu5jw so she supported a wrong person by giving a standing ovation for the work that not only involved that person but all the other people as well... He may be a douche bag and may be it was wrong of her to appreciate his work... but don't we all make mistakes I'd rather look at the good in her than being bitch about what she did wrong... I'm not a saint P.S. sorry if this offends you
I can’t believe this was 5 years ago. Meryl Streep read trump to filth without even saying his name. When people with a big spotlight stand up to injustice, they help make such a good change and inspire others.
Wow. If any one ask who is Meryl streep? Why is she is often called genius par excellence? Just show them this particular speech! This is by far the best or rather I should say one of her best. Meryl is an icon and will be forever An Icon❤❤❤
Yes Viola is amazing ! I think she deserves more then what she is given. I hope some Producer puts her in a powerful role in the future . She will be the black Meryl Streep ! No lie
Can't imagine, how much courage and guts one needs to stand against 'the person asking to sit in the most respected sit in the country', on such a huge public platform. Well done!!
Yeah cuz she's premeditated for ignornant people like you. Like CNN and all his haters . If she was a artist she wouldn't have low balled her Country . All you idiots buy into it . Gee didn't see her 20 paper prompt in hand ? It's all premeditated . Wow people like you who are blind even thou she has 20 papers in her face still think that's her words lmao . People like I are what's wrong with this world . You are just like those elite . You need papers and to be told be the elite how to think . Ur garbage just like them. Cus u don't have the balls to think for yourself
@@aidanmorris2231 maybe before you call people names, you learn to do research instead of listening to MSM and Hollywood lies: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CsaB3ynIZH4.html
Lovely tribute from an amazing artist, to an Amazing artist! ❤️ The sadness about this speech is that it reminds me of what the McCarthy Era sounds like. People like Meryl speaking out. 🙏🏾
Such incredible POWER n 1 very GOURGOUS COLORFUL PERSON!!!! U have changed my life many times😉 W/Such AMAZING WONDERFUL friends!!!! Thank u 4 beging u & changing life's 4 the better! ✌💜😄&BLESSINGS
Even when this beautiful lady has no voice, she uses her VOICE. Still true, even now. Love miss Mary Louise Streep so.damn.much. ❤️ “Hang in there, America,” Love, Australia. 🇦🇺
how sad, 2024, and all she speaks of not only hasn't gone away, it has only worsened and intensified......thank goodness for bright lights of great luminosity in the ever growing darkness such as the Great Dame Streep!
That one sentence… I did just that! It is what inspired me to pick up the pieces and start painting. I never looked back since. Thank you Carrie, and thank you Meryl for your artistry and honesty
This was such a powerful, eloquent and wonderful, just prior to watching this clip I had read an article where the journalist was asking "what is going wrong with our children why are they behaving like they do...I think this clip answers that question, Thank you Miss Streep from the bottom of my heart ❤
