Full transcript Meryl Streep speeches

"Thank you. Thanks a lot. Please sit down. Thank you, I love you all very much. Sorry, I lost my voice from all the screaming and crying over the weekend. What happened shocked me so much that I felt like I had gone crazy. Therefore, I will read from a piece of paper.

Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press Association. I just want to pick up what Hugh Laurie said. You and everyone in this room now belong to the most maligned class in American society. Judge for yourself: Hollywood, foreigners and the press. But who are we? And what is “Hollywood” anyway? It's just a handful of people from different places.

I was born, raised and formed in public schools New Jersey. Viola Davis was born in a sharecropper's cabin in South Carolina and raised in Central Falls, Long Island. Sarah Paulson was raised by a single mother in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker grew up in large family in Ohio - she was one of eight children. Amy Adams was born in Italy. Natalie Portman is in Jerusalem. Where are their birth certificates? And the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Ethiopia, and raised, in my opinion, in Ireland. And now here she is, nominated for an award for her performance as a young Virginia girl. Ryan Gosling, like all the nicest people, is from Canada. Dev Pate was born in Kenya, raised in London and is now here thanks to his role as an Indian who grew up in Tasmania.

Hollywood is full of foreigners. If you kick them all out of here, you'll have nothing to watch except football and mixed martial arts, and that's not art. An actor's job is to take on the lives of people different from us and show you what it's like. This year there were a great many such works - sensual, exciting.

Disrespect breeds disrespect. Violence begets violence. When a powerful person uses his position to humiliate others, we all suffer.

One of these transformations stunned me. It touched me to the core. No, not because it was good - there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and got the job done. It made the audience it was aimed at laugh and bare their teeth. This was the moment when a man who was set to occupy the most respected position in our country parodied a disabled reporter who had no opportunity to fight back. My heart was broken. I still can't forget it because it wasn't a movie. This was real life.

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.

As my friend, our dear departed Princess Leia, told me, take your broken heart and put it into art.

And now about the press. We need the press to call the authorities to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage. That's why the Founding Fathers enshrined the press and its freedom in our Constitution. So I'm asking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and everyone in our community to join me in supporting journalists. Because we need them. We need them to defend the truth.

One more thing. One day I was standing on film set and complained about something. Tommy Lee Jones then asked me: “Meryl, just being an actor is a great honor, isn’t it?” This is true. And we need to remind each other of the honor and responsibility of empathy.

As my friend, our dear departed Princess Leia, told me, take your broken heart and put it into art. Thank you".

At the last Golden Globe ceremony, one of the most striking speeches was Meryl Streep's speech. The actress received a special award “For Contribution to Cinema” and became the record holder for this film award. Now Streep is the owner of the large number nominations for the Golden Globe.

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."

Meryl Streep's resonant speech at the 2017 Golden Globes: the reaction of Donald Trump and other famous people

Actress Meryl Streep's speech to the new President of America Donald Trump, which she delivered from the stage after receiving the Golden Globe Award for outstanding achievements in cinema, became one of the most discussed news of today. Many famous people, including the US President himself, hastened to speak out on this matter.

From the stage of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Meryl Streep recalled how Trump imitated a disabled reporter in 2015 The New York Times. She stated that his action stunned her at the time.

Not because it was good. There was nothing good about it. Trump's antics made his intended audience laugh and show their teeth. "It was a moment when a man who fought to sit in the most respected seat in our country parodied a disabled reporter whom he surpasses in privilege, power and ability to fight back," the actress said.

Meryl Streep also noted that this moment "broke her heart" because "it wasn't a movie, it was real life." According to the actress, this instinct to humiliate, which is demonstrated by an influential person, will allow other people to do the same.

Donald Trump said he was not surprised by Meryl Streep's criticism

Donald Trump was quick to respond to Streep's criticism. In a telephone interview with The New York Times, Trump said that the actress who criticized him had always been a fan of Hillary Clinton, and stressed that he was not surprised by criticism from the camp of “liberal filmmakers.”

"People keep saying that I wanted to make fun of this reporter's disability, as if Meryl Streep and everyone else could get into my head and read my thoughts," Donald Trump said, making it clear that he didn't even think about making fun of the man.

After the performance, many celebrities rushed to shake Meryl Streep's hand. Among them is singer John Legend

Michelle Williams and Meryl Streep

Film and television stars, famous singers and athletes sided with Meryl Streep, as they announced on Twitter.

True admiration! Meryl, you have a beautiful soul! Thank you for your vote,” Alyssa Milano wrote.

There will never be people like Meryl Streep again. “I love her,” said TV presenter Ellen DeGeneres.

Meryl Streep is changing the world for the better. “Her words are like a morning kiss on the forehead,” wrote actress Sarah Silverman.

We need a free press. Journalists and the truth must be protected,” Maria Shriver said on Twitter.

Thank God for Meryl Streep, who told the truth about the current government and who should really worship whom, wrote actress Bette Midler.

Meryl Streep (19 Oscar nominations).
Donald Trump (15 bankrupt companies). I'm for Meryl! - noted actor William Baldwin.

Is there anything better than this? - Anna Kendrick wrote.

Many famous people, like Julianne Moore, simply quoted the words of Meryl Streep on their pages in social networks, admiring the precision of the phrases.

Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kicked us all out, you'd be unable to watch anything but football and mixed martial arts.

Meryl mentioned a situation in which Donald Trump publicly ridiculed New York Times reporter Serge Kowalewski, a person with a disability. She did not dwell on the situation itself, since Donald Trump had many of these. She noted the following:

There was nothing good there, but he (Donald Trump) did his job. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it and I still can't get over it because it wasn't in the movies, it was in real life. This kind of humiliation was simulated by someone from a public platform and this situation will seep into every person's life because he gives permission to others to do the same

And in the end, she paid tribute to a memory who always said the right things and was not afraid of anything.

Meryl Streep Presented with Cecil B. DeMille Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film

The Golden Globe Awards were presented tonight in Los Angeles. The jury awarded actress Meryl Streep the Cecil Blount DeMille Award, an American film director and producer. This is a prestigious award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, recognizing outstanding achievements in film. Dear actress and smart woman gave a brilliant speech, which brought tears to the eyes of many present in the hall. Very cleverly bypassing the name of Donald Trump, she pointed out his unworthy actions and reminded everyone of responsibility powerful of the world this.

Thank you, Hollywood, for the award. I will repeat the idea that Hugh Laurie has already expressed today. Everyone present in this room today belongs to the most talked-about class in American society.

Think about it. Hollywood, foreigners and the press. But who are we? Who are we really? Just a handful of very important people from different places. I was born, raised and educated in a public school in New Jersey. Viola Davis was born on a farm in South Carolina and raised in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Sarah Paulson was born in Florida and raised by a single mother in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker is one of eight children in a family from Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Vicenza, Italy. Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem. The beautiful Ruth Nega was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and raised in Ireland, and today she is nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as a girl from a small town in Virginia. Ryan Gosling, like many very good people, Canadian. And Dave Porter was born in Kenya, raised in London, and is in this room now because he played an Indian man who grew up in Tanzania.

So, Hollywood is made up of out-of-towners and foreigners. And if we throw these people out, then all we can do is watch football and study martial arts, which are not really art.

An actor's job is to talk about life. different people, different from us. And try to talk about how these people feel. There have been so many key performances this year that have made our hearts skip a beat, but one of them literally stunned me and made my heart race, but not because the performance was brilliant. There was nothing good about it, but it was very effective and worked. It made people laugh and sneer.

This was the speech of one man who will occupy the most important position in our country. This man was making a mockery of a journalist with special needs, a person who has neither a high position in society nor the privileges and opportunities to respond adequately. This action hurt my heart. And I still can’t forget him. And it wasn't in the movies. It was in real life. The desire to insult, which a public person, an influential person allows himself, affects the behavior of other people: he, as it were, gives others permission to do the same. Disrespect begets disrespect, violence begets violence. When influential world If they allow themselves to humiliate other people, everyone loses. So, think about this.

And now I turn to the press. To the foreign press ( The Cecil B. DeMille Award is presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. – Zefir.ua). We need a press that takes principled positions and holds these people accountable, which is why the founders of Hollywood are so respected foreign press and the freedoms that our Constitution grants us. So I ask the well-known and respected Hollywood foreign press and everyone in this room to join me, we will need your help in preserving truth and justice.

And one more thing. One day, when I was standing on this stage and saying something about having dinner or something ahead of us, Tomi Lee Jones said to me: “Isn’t it true, Meryl, it’s an honor just to be an actress?” Yes, and we must remind each other of the honor and responsibility and the ability of an actor to put himself in another person's shoes. I want us to be proud of our work, which is now being celebrated with awards in Hollywood. And as my dear Princess Leia, who left us at the end of last year, said: “Take your broken heart, bare it for art.” Thanks for listening."
