Meryl Streep used her Golden Globes acceptance speech to publicly slam president-elect Donald Trump as she alluded to racism and disrespect in front of a room of visibly stunned stars.
The Cecil B. DeMille honoree took aim at Trump, without mentioning him by name, by calling the moment the president-elect mocked a disabled reporter the most stunning performance of the year.
'There was nothing good about it, but it did its job,' Streep said in the powerful speech that left many teary-eyed.
'It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can't get it out my head because it wasn't in a movie, it was in real life.

Meryl Streep, the Cecil B. DeMille honoree, used her Golden Globes acceptance speech on Sunday night to publicly slam Donald Trump for mocking a disabled reporter

 

[superbeets]

'It was that moment when a person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter - someone he outranked in privilege, in power and in the capacity to fight back.
Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if you kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts

'That instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in a public platform, it filters down into everyone's life because it gives permission for others to do the same.
'Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose.'
Trump came under fire in 2015 for mocking New York Times investigative reporter Serge Kovaleski by impersonating the journalist's physical handicap. It was an incident replayed frequently in campaign advertising.
Streep, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention, also called for the press to stand up to Trump and hold him to account going forward.
Trump dismissed Streep as a 'Hillary lover' following the awards ceremony, the New York Times reports.
While Trump said he had not seen Streep's speech or the Golden Globes, he said he was 'not surprised' that he was under attack by 'liberal movie people'.

The Cecil B. DeMille honoree's speech stunned the audience, leaving many teary-eyed

 

[superbeets]

In her speech, which earned a standing ovation from the stunned audience, Streep noted that 'Hollywood' was a reviled place.
She spoke about how the Hollywood Foreign Press and the actors present were part of 'the most vilified segments in American society right now' - Hollywood, foreigners and the press.



'But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It's just a bunch of people from other places,' Streep said as she touched on her New Jersey upbringing.
She mentioned nominees seated in the room by name and recalled details of their cultural backgrounds to shine a light on Hollywood's multicultural makeup and to build context for the rest of her speech.
'Viola (Davis) was born in a sharecroppers cabin in South Carolina, came up in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Sarah Paulson was born in Florida, raised by a single mom in Brooklyn,' she said.
'Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids from Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Vicenzia, Italy, and Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem.
'Where are their birth certificates?' she asked.

Streep mentioned her late friend Carrie Fisher, who died just after Christmas, and how the actress and writer urged others to 'take your broken heart and make it into art.'
Her speech sent Twitter into a frenzy with many of A-list stars applauding Streep.
'There has never been anyone like Meryl Streep. I love her,' Ellen DeGeneres wrote.
Orange Is The New Black star Uzo Aduba wrote: 'Meryl Streep. It's this same level of bravery that she has offered us, freely, again and again.'
'"When the powerful use their position to bully other, we all lose" thank you,' Julianne Moore wrote.

[h=3]MERYL STREEP'S FULL SPEECH:[/h]Thank you, thank you. I lost my voice in screaming and lamentation this week. I've lost my mind sometime earlier this year, so I have to read. Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press. Just to pick up on what Hugh Laurie said: You, and all of us in this room, really belong to the most vilified segment of American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners, and the press.

But who are we? What is Hollywood, anyway? It's just a bunch of different places. I was born and raised and educated in the public schools of New Jersey, Viola was born in a sharecroppers cabin in South Carolina, came up in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Sarah Paulson was born in Florida, raised by a single mom in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids from Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Vicenzia, Italy, and Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem. Where are their birth certificates? And the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and was raised in Ireland and she's here nominated - for playing a small-town girl from Virginia. Ryan Gosling, like all the nicest people is Canadian. And Dev Patel was born in Kenya, raised in London, is here playing an Indian, raised in Tasmania.
So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick 'em all out, you'll have nothing else to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts. They gave me three seconds to say that.
An actor's only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us, and let you feel what that feels like, and there were many, many ,many powerful performances that did exactly that - breathtaking, compassionate work. But there was one performances this year that stunned me; it sank its hooks in my heart, not because it was good. There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job - it made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth.
It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter - someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it and I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie, it was real life. This instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, filters down into everybody's life because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing.
Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.
Okay, this brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them them on the carpet for every outrage - that's why our founders enshrine the press and its freedoms in our constitution. So I only asked the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the committee to protect journalists, because we're gonna need them going forward, and they'll need us to safeguard the truth.
One more thing. Once, when I was standing around on the set one day whining about something, we were going to work through supper, or the long hours or whatever, Tommy Lee Jones said to me, isn't it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor. Yeah, it is. And we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight.
As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you.

While Streep won the annual Cecille B. DeMille Award and can boast of 48 Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, her career is still current.
She was nominated this year for her portrayal of a bad opera singer in 'Florence Foster Jenkins.'



Streep was introduced by fellow actress Viola Davis, who said her husband urged her every day when she worked with her to tell Streep how much she meant to her. She was too bashful then, but not on stage on Sunday.
'You make me proud to be an artist,' Davis said. 'You make me feel that what I have in me - my body, my face, my age - is enough.'

[h=1]Meryl Streep's anti-Trump Golden Globe speech divides America: Twitter war breaks out over whether actress was 'brave' or 'disrespectful' to President-elect and his voters[/h]

• Meryl Streep gave a speech pointedly putting down Trump without naming him
• Trump's favorite social media platform, Twitter, went wild
• Most tweets supported her but quite a few thought she was showing her 'privilege'
• Trump has yet to react to the many jabs he received during the night

Meryl Streep stunned and touched the Golden Globes audience when she managed to deeply criticize - without ever naming him - President-elect Donald Trump.
After being honored with a Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award on Sunday, the legendary actress gave a speech that touched upon two of the contentious presidential election's touchstones: immigration, the media, and the bullying tactics many felt Trump employed throughout the campaign, especially when he was accused of mocking a disabled reporter.
Trump's favorite communication platform, Twitter, exploded - with most people celebrating Streep's speech, but many condemning it as being the exact sort of condescending attitude from the 'elites' that got Trump elected.
'#MerylStreep dont u get it? There r ppl out here that make less in a year than celebrities spent on their gown tonite? They need an escape,' tweeted Deplorable P Kelly.

'This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won. And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how - you will help him get re-elected,' wrote Fox News host Meghan McCain.
Most others, however, were supportive.
'In one speech, #MerylStreep showed more bravery and empathy than Donald Trump has shown in his entire sad, privileged life,' tweeted writer Nick Jack Pappas.
Many wondered how Trump - who famously tweets off at just about anyone who offends him - will react.
'Trump is currently drafting a tweet to trash Meryl Streep, but can't figure out what to say because he can't use words like 'loser' & 'overrated,' wrote journalist Jonathan Merritt.
And at least one celebrity, former MSNBC host Ronan Farrow, joked that Streep's speech was merely to promote her anti-MMA agenda, as Streep said without Hollywood's long list of actors who are also immigrants, people would have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts.
Trump has yet to tweet his reaction.

'When the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose.'

Gee, you mean like when the government forced Americans to buy shitty health insurance? Or when they (along with psycho activists) force Christian bakeries to make cakes for fag weddings? Or when the government interjects themselves into the private sector and forces employers to pay a wage that may be worth more than the production the employee will give in return?

Nah. That kind of force is perfectly acceptable since it is done in the name of the "common good."

Fucking retarded hypocrites.

[h=2]'I didn't hear Meryl Streep give a shout out to the mentally challenged boy tortured on Facebook': Kellyanne Conway piles in after Trump's attack on Clinton-backing Golden Globe winner[/h][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]Incoming White House advisor Kellyanne Conway has joined President-elect Donald Trump's counterattack on Meryl Streep by arguing that if the actress was such an advocate for the disabled, she should have stood up for the special needs man subjected to Torture in video posted on Facebook. Streep called Trump a 'bully' for the way he mocked a disabled New York Times reporter at a 2015 rally. Conway mentioned an 18-year-old boy who was 'tortured live on Facebook for half an hour by four young African-American adults who were screaming racial and anti-Trump expletives.' She asked Monday why Streep hadn't defended the 18-year old if she was such an advocate for the disabled.

 

[Acebb]

Why was she up there bashing the NFL and MMA?

She said (in paraphrase) "without the arts, you're left with the NFL and MMA"

Huh?

Who is taking away the arts? Is Trump banning movies? What is wrong with not liking movies, but enjoying the MMA in a free society?

WTF is with these people?

 

[Willie99]

if the arts are being attacked, it's because fucking idiot artists like Streep are talking about shit they know nothing about

we're tired of your stupidity, we just want you to entertain us, that's it, you're a fucking entertainer and NOTHING MORE

fucking idiots

 

[Dave007inVegas]

Streep and her ilk actually believe they're important. I say whatever helps them get through their day.

You already know why.

It's because that's how dimocraps roll. They know their base is stupid enough to believe idiotic rhetoric like that, even though nobody has ever said anything about crushing art movements.

Who was that retarded Congressman in the 90s who ranted "REPUBLICANS ARE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN!! THEY'RE COMING FOR THE ELDERLY!!! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU!!!!" on the floor of the house back in the 90s when the R-led congress tried to introduce some kind of legislation that would have cut funding for God knows what government program...? Anyone remember that one? Anyway that's what Streep's dumb ass speech reminded me of.

That's what resonates with these fucking fools. The worse their masters lie to them, the more they enjoy it and pretend it's true. When they find out it isn't...oh well...thank you, sir. May I have another?
