The politician himself has already responded to the actress’s attack.

Streep spoke about the importance of empathy and understanding in modern world, and as an example, I remembered last year’s story about how Trump, during public speaking ridiculed a New York Times journalist who has a congenital disorder. Let us remember that, as the politician stated later, when the scandal had already broken out, he did not intend to parody a disabled person, but only criticized an article written by a journalist, and did not even know about his illness. However, Trump was accused of complete insensitivity and immorality for this.

When someone with power and a voice allows himself to mock others, it affects everyone's life, because then other people feel the right to do the same,

Meryl Streep is great

— wrote musician Mark Ronson.

Taking the stage, she made a serious speech, condemning the elected president of America. The actress did not name names, but it was already clear who she was talking about we're talking about.

According to The Washington Post, Streep reacted particularly negatively to Trump's words that he wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

“Hollywood is full of outsiders and foreigners. If you kick everyone out, there’s nothing left,” Streep said.

She listed many of the actors sitting in the audience and named the countries where they were born. Many of them were born far outside the United States.

The actress also expressed a strong negative response to the disrespectful actions of the newly elected president towards the press and people with disabilities. During one of the debates, Trump parodied a disabled journalist.

“Disrespect begets disrespect, cruelty begets cruelty. When the powerful use their position to laugh at others, it gives permission for others to do the same,” Streep said. “We need a principled press. You, the actors, need us to promote, and we need you to defend the truth,” the actress addressed reporters.

According to The Washington Post, journalists immediately after the ceremony contacted Donald Trump for comment. Trump responded that he had not seen the show or Meryl Streep's performance, but was not surprised by what he heard, calling the actress a "Hillary fan." The US President said he was “not surprised by the attacks from liberal figures in the film industry.”

The Golden Globe film award, which is called the second most important after the Oscars, was remembered not only for the statuettes in one category or another. At the ceremony, the memory of Carrie Fisher was honored, Meryl Streep criticized Donald Trump, and La La Land, which has not yet been released in Russia, acquired a parody.

Meryl Streep vs Donald Trump

Actress and three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her contribution to cinema and gave a speech from the stage criticizing US President-elect Donald Trump. However, the actress never mentioned the name of the head of state.

Streep dedicated her speech to expectations from Trump's presidency and defended the rights of journalists. She actually responded to the politician’s initiatives to deport illegal migrants and emphasized that her American colleagues were born in various places on the planet: from Canada and Italy to Ethiopia and Kenya.

Streep also recalled the resonant moment when Trump mimicked a journalist in 2015 The New York Times Serge Kowalewski, who suffers from arthrogryposis.

Then the politician allegedly showed uncontrolled hand movements of a disabled reporter who had argued with the president about the collapse of the World War II towers. shopping center September 11, 2001. Trump denied the accusations and said he was unaware of Kowalewski's existence.

When I found out about that episode, it broke my heart. I still can’t get what happened out of my head, because it wasn’t a movie, it was reality. When someone powerful humiliates a person in public, it actually allows ordinary people do the same in everyday life. Disrespect breeds disrespect, violence breeds violence. When someone powerful uses their position to intimidate others, we all suffer.

Meryl Streep, actress

Streep's position did not come as a surprise. Actress Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign and even with parodies of Donald Trump.

Streep's colleagues publicly supported the actress after her performance.

Thank you, Meryl Streep" "I will repeat, Meryl Streep is the greatest" "A true inspiration. Meryl, you have a beautiful soul. Thank you for using your voice for good." "Meryl Streep is changing the world by lifting us up with a kiss on the forehead."

As a result, the direct addressee, Trump, responded to criticism from Streep. In The New York Times, the president noted that he was not surprised by the attack on him by “liberal filmmakers.” Trump also called Streep a "Hillary (Clinton) supporter."

“Meryl Streep is one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood. Although Streep doesn't know me, she criticized me last night at the Golden Globes."

Movie title confusion

The incident at the Golden Globe Awards is associated with the names of two nominated films. At the ceremony, the films “Hidden Figures” and “Fences” were twice confused.

First, a non-existent picture called “Hidden Fences” was invented by an NBC journalist. The correspondent made a mistake when asking a question to musician and producer Pharrell Williams.

Later, actor Michael Keaton made a mistake with the title of the film. When announcing the nominees at the ceremony, he again said "Hidden Fences."

Twitter users accused Keaton and the NBC journalist of racism. The fact is that the plot of both films mentioned is related to African Americans.

Hidden Figures is about a team doing the calculations to launch NASA's first space mission. The plot of "Fences" revolves around a former baseball player and now a janitor.

"Congratulations for Hidden Moonlight Fences" - everyone a white man at the Golden Globes, “Jenna Bush asked Pharrell about Hidden Fences. I guess all black films are the same for her." The saddest thing than the Hidden Fences confusion is that someone in Hollywood is presenting a project tomorrow called Hidden Fences."

The topic of racism at American film awards is, to put it mildly, a sensitive one. Can you at least remember

Gosling was also photographed backstage after receiving the statuette. From published

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on her Facebook commented on the statement of actress Meryl Streep addressed to Trump, who noted that “when a powerful person uses his position to humiliate others, everyone suffers.”

“Doesn’t this apply to the previous administration (Barack Obama. —RT)? Of course it does. Insult and humiliate, even if senselessly and getting the opposite result, is the motto of the outgoing team. Only the “instinctive desire to humiliate someone” had not previously concerned Meryl Streep. She did not fall into the category of those in relation to whom “a powerful person used his position to humiliate another.” This is the price to pay for the policy of double standards. You can’t humiliate anyone, not just those who share the “correct” Political Views", wrote Zakharova.

But singer Barbra Streisand supported the actress, saying that she did not know how she could “live these four years.”

“Why doesn’t he sit at briefings, but constantly tweets?” - Streisand is surprised.

“For the hundredth time: I was not making fun of a disabled reporter (and would never have done so), I was just showing how he is acting out, reworking a 16-year-old story to make me look bad. Another example of dishonest journalism!” Trump added.

In a telephone interview with The New York Times, the US President-elect also said that he was not surprised by criticism from the “liberal filmmakers” camp.

However, not only her colleagues, but also the administration of Barack Obama took the side of Meryl Streep. Thus, White House spokesman Josh Earnest noted that “every US citizen can express his opinion where he wants, when he wants.” “Including at the Golden Globes,” he added.

Trump supporters were less active in their statements about what happened. At the same time, Internet users noted the reaction of two famous actors- Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson - during Meryl Streep's performance. According to many, the stars, known for their conservative views, do not share the point of view of their colleague.

Political movie night

“And this instinctive desire to humiliate someone seeps into everyone's life when it is instilled by someone powerful, someone who represents a public platform. Others are starting to think that they can do it too. Disrespect breeds disrespect. Violence begets violence. When a powerful person uses his position to humiliate others, we all suffer,” the actress said.

In addition, American comedian Jimmy Fallon, at the opening of the film awards ceremony, compared the president-elect to the cruel and childish hero of the Game of Thrones series, Joffrey Baratheon.
