Meryl Streep’s speech is so humorous and touching. When she talked about the scene they work together, her admiration is so sincere. When you can get a compliment like that from Meryl Streep, you already win an award.
Streep is truly one of a kind ... Not because of her wit or her acting skills but because of this unique sense of non importance and an immaculate sense of humour (always a clear sign of true intelligence)
I honestly think that Meryl Streep should win an academy award for that speech! That was breathtaking. And I LOVE seeing all of these powerful women so loving and supportive of one another. I'd sure love to be a part of that soul-sisterhood! xoxo Diane
Her impersonation of Nicole Kidman cracked me up. It even got Nicole's kids to laugh and that's impressive! They know her best. Wouldn't you just love to hear Meryl impersonate you? It's the closest you'd ever get to knowing what it's like to meet yourself.
I have watched many movies with Nicole Kidman but the first time I understood that she carries a universe within was when I watched Dogville. She is capable of reaching into this universe, finding her spot in it and translating this for us into visible emotion. She can fill an empty stage with a world and our entire living rooms with the denseest atmosphere. Such beauty in the way Meryl Streep finds one word to describe how complex and unique Nicole Kidman's life long work is: love. I am glad she shares this with us all - it's a gift, for us.
The best prize and tribute is what Meryl said to her. Nicole is a great actress. If Meryl admire you as an actress you could die Happy and you could not be more proud.
Both Meryl and Nicole were extraordinary in Big Little Lies, and this speech gives me an even greater appreciation of their unforgettable performances on that show.
Meryl will always be Meryl and Nicole will always be Nicole; two unique and great talents; but these two women are fantastic orators of the written word but also embody truth in performance and reality in heart. They both give it all. Greatest Actress of all time was my one dog being a diva. Neither of these two are diva's, they have evolved and grown and become the best of the biz. Love them both. Congratulations Nicole! Brava! Remember my passed away dog for the next AFI, as Greatest Diva Actress! Cheers AFI lovely night!
Wow... The GOAT...Just crowned a new GOAT! This was beautiful to watch. I love the women of Big Little Lies... Women for Women propping up women unapologetically.... LOVE IT
I'm writing that it's 2024 and I'm happy for Nicole Kidman. I'm also writing that actor Martin Short has never gotten an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award television special and won an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award and he's been acting in show business since the early 1980's and as of 2024 he's been show business for 45 years. maybe in the year 2025 it should finally be Martin Short's turn to finally get an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award television special and recieve an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award
I want to see Sally Field get this award. She’s been on the screen longer than either of these women and darn sure accomplished more than Nicole Kidman has.
@@EvaSofie yes but now it"s OK, WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD by the time!!! Always the same lies representing the the dark side! It's high time she leaves the young actors speak in front of the public!!!! WE HAVE ENOUGH !! Vive la résistance 💪💪💪
@@michelesnoopy dark side? What? the whole purpose of these events is for iconic actors to honor people because it means a lot for a legend to speak about another actor, you can see it means a lot to Nicole so she doesn’t need you defending her
Unbearable Meryl Streep. So, so full of herself and claiming the center of attention, ALWAYS. That speech lacked honesty; it was another way of her to be seen as genius and great.
What what a tribute from one excellent performer to another.
Her speech is almost as valuable as the award 👸🏼
almost as the one where she was praising Harvey Weinstein
More🤍✨
You gotta love Meryl for not taking herself too seriously. What a woman
I love Meryl for the standing ovation for Polanski
What a class act of women.. Meryl Reese and Nicole. I love them all
Horseshit. 😅😅😅 She absolutely takes herself seriously. It's a huge reason for her success. 🎉
@@yvonneplant9434
Yeah,but she can poke fun at herself,that’s what it means.She’s no Diva.

*Meryl never ever goes below the level of outstanding in her speeches. She is an absolutely excellent speaker and orator.*
Meryl's not only an outstanding actress, but she's an excellent orator, and really funny too. She's the whole package!
Streep is truly one of a kind ... Not because of her wit or her acting skills but because of this unique sense of non importance and an immaculate sense of humour (always a clear sign of true intelligence)
When Meryl acknowledge you like that ,that’s an honor ,we can say that both of them are absolutely fantastic actresses !

It's just a speech.. Don't over reacted
Before this even start i know that Meryl is a helluva actress, she never fails to deliver extraordinary performances . ❤😊
Meryl Streep should win an Oscar for that speech.

One thing that makes Meryl Streep so great is that she seems to always put the work above herself. It's not ego, it's - as she said - love.
Congratulations to Nicole Kidman on this honour!
Did anyone notice that she also did a small impression of Reese Witherspoon? She literally moved her mouth just like her. Meryl is such a treasure.
The best prize and tribute is what Meryl said to her. Nicole is a great actress. If Meryl admire you as an actress you could die Happy and you could not be more proud.
Two of the most brilliant actresses both so adorable
Wow she‘s not only my favorite actor, she also always has such great speeches, bravo Meryl Streep ❤!
The best actress of all time. Period.
So beautifully worded and said. Woman supporting woman. Sisterhood. ❤❤❤
Amazing and generous tribute from the G.O.A.T.
🌟🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨✨ !!!
That Nicole Kidman's impression alone tells proves again how astounding , perfection Meryl Louise Streep is.
Wow, the genuiness and passion of Meryl Streeps speech, no wonder she's the best.
Both Meryl and Nicole were extraordinary in Big Little Lies, and this speech gives me an even greater appreciation of their unforgettable performances on that show.

I could watch Meryl talking about Nicole for a full hour.
When Meryl sounds Nicole “I love it!”❤ MS deserves another award sounding like NC!
Amazing! How wonderful! ❤
What a magnificent speech! 🤩 It is an absolute master class in celebrating the incomparable skill, talent and artistry of a legendary icon. Bravo! 🌟
Nicole Kidman❤
Streep has never let any of it go to her head. So humble. Never an ounce of ego in acknowledging a fellow performer.
Give Nicole Kidman the part and she will slay it, fact.
The goat Meryl streep❤❤❤
Why u make me cry Meryl?!?
Both of them are great, I love Nicole in her roles one of my favorite movies Moulin Rouge is greatly because of her and that love!
Meryl Streep ❤,beautiful dress 😍
Wow... The GOAT...Just crowned a new GOAT! This was beautiful to watch. I love the women of Big Little Lies... Women for Women propping up women unapologetically.... LOVE IT
Watching this speech I tried not to breathe, I didn't wanna miss anything...of the Meryl magic.
Beyond beautiful speech
Masterful Meryl ~ a legend, she’s beautiful and one of a kind…. Wish she would talk more
Talented from here to the moon!
So good! She is so fantastic. Killed that speech!!! ❤
My first Hollywood Crush was Nicole Kidman and Meryl? Well she is the greatest of them! ❤🙏🏻
What a TRIBUTE!!! ❤
Wow! Nic is so beloved
Meryl always aces when it comes to her speeches.much like everything else she does.love her so much.
🤍🤍🤍
Meryl ❤
I love Meryl Streep very much
This has slowly become an "I scratch your back, you scratch my back" award, pure entertainment only.
Wow wow wow, what a gem of a speech
What a honor to have Meryl honoring you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Inspiring.
Morgan Freeman mouthing "that's true" at 2:55 😂
Meryl is on that level where she can make jokes about her being the GOAT and not come off as being boastful because she actually truly IS the GOAT.

This is an edited version, I've seen clips where there are sections of this speech which are not here :/
TALK ABOUT STAR POWER
This man sitting behind to the left of Nicole is so good looking!!
Male model Khalil Ghani
@@tomasandrew9354 thank you
@@AbsolutAlim you’re welcome!
La Signora Meryl ha citofonato a quella che fu ieri la casa mia di Paola (video). Il fatto e' che noi non ci siamo avendo gia' finito domani.
ONLY MERYL STREEP, MEHN.... SHE COULD WIN AN OSCAR FOR THE BEST TRIBUTE
I want to see Sally Field get this award. She’s been on the screen longer than either of these women and darn sure accomplished more than Nicole Kidman has.
And, what about Tom Cruise? I think he should have gotten this award before Nicole Kidman.
He's not as good as her.
Idella Curve
The only lady not 100 percent supportive of Nicole there was her little daughter Faith and that worries me
Whats with the guy behind ?
Did Meryl call Kubrick british?
yeah, I know. He was from Brooklyn, though he did live in Britain for 40 years or something
If you live in England for as long as he did you’re partly British
Nicole refuses to age, her face looks so odd to me but I do wonder how she keeps her arms so fit and ageless
Take a likely guess!
Anyone who uses botox and cheek fillers refuses to age...literally
Brycen Walks
did she thank harvey?
That’s not Meryl Streep. That’s June Squibb.
are you making a joke or something because its obviously Meryl
@@EvaSofie Looks like June Squibb to me. 👵🏻
@@fridaclaxton google June Squibb
I find Nicole acts similar in almost every movie.
Put Michelle Phiffer in big little lies season 3.
There are few things more insufferable than listening to actors ACT their admiration for one another.
Next Year should Kris Jenner or Kim Kardashian.. Living legend, an icon, cultural event and talented women
I feel they tried very hard to break nicoles spirit and that’s why she was all like uh uh girlfran
shitty edited version it's messing up the whole speech
Nice speech, but Stanley Kubrick is American, not English.
he lived in England for 40 years, he was part British
He was born in the Bronx but left rather early and spent most of his life as an ex-patriate in Britain...and died there. ❤
Enough already. .
why shouldn’t she honor her friend?
The most Overrated. Her!
Wow🤍
Honestly they seem to be running out of people to give this too. Who next Reese Witherspoon.
Her again??? Oh please!!!
🙂
Yes, she loves honoring her friends that’s a good thing, unless you’re making a a joke
@@EvaSofie yes but now it"s OK, WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD by the time!!! Always the same lies representing the the dark side!

Not true at all, she’s self-deprecating and known for her humility, you missed the joke she was making.
Did she send love to "the God" Harvey Weinsten? Now that he got a repeated trial I think she can praise him again
Who hurt you?
MAGA TRUMP 2024 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
