At the Golden Globes on Sunday night, Meryl Streep was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award and gave a politically-charged acceptance speech about the importance of diversity and freedom. Though she did not reference President-elect Donald Trump by name, she mentioned a 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."
Meryl Streep's acceptance speech after receiving a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes turned out to be the opening volley in a war of words with President-elect Donald Trump. The actress never mentioned Trump by name, but it was clear who her target was in pointedly saying that a performance from the past year that stunned her came from the campaign trail.
After Meryl Streep gave her speech at the 2017 Golden Globes on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump called her a "Hillary lover" in an interview with The New York Times. Remember last year's hashtag-fueled protest - #OscarsSoWhite - decrying the lack of diversity at Hollywood's most hyped awards show? On Sunday night, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association showed up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences by rewarding a wider range of talent at the 2017 Golden Globes.
Meryl Streep is a "Hillary lover" and one of the "liberal movie people" who have deliberately misconstrued what was his intention when he imitated a physically challenged New York Times reporter at a rally speech during his campaign, Donald Trump said after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, in an interview with the New York Times. Trump said he had not seen Streep's speech, or any of the other remarks made about him during the awards ceremony broadcast on NBC, but was "not surprised" to have been attacked by "liberal movie people," NYT reported.
Hollywood unleashed its contempt for Donald Trump Sunday night as the Golden Globes turned into a roast of the President-elect. Host Jimmy Fallon kicked off the awards show - the first major red-carpet style event since last November's election - with a wisecrack-filled monologue aimed at the billionaire before award winners, including Hugh Laurie and Meryl Streep, got their shots in.
