Despite that I love Meryl Streep, the whole business of celebrity is just one big fucking circle jerk. I mean they do act so very important, when really they're just actors - one of the most useless jobs in the world. I appreciate the art and talent, but just crazy how they're treated.
***** Of course I'm fucking jealous, these people live in a constant state of self congratulation, of people never ever saying no to them, and of living without the stresses of monetary problems (or any real life problems, as almost all of those are money relative). And all for what? They're just actors. Not doctors, or scientists, or highly regarded politicians, teachers or whatever else that is important. People don't give a fuck about any of those, but we throw millions for someone to stand in front of a camera and imitate someone else. And this doesn't mean I don't think the arts or acting isn't important, or a hard job, but the amount of privilege they're allowed for just acting is grossly obscene. If you think that's fair then you're obviously very privileged yourself.
I agree. And the only time they do get awards is when they take on the role of a real life person (scientist, mathematician, doctor, politician, etc.) who made a difference. I do think actors are important, I admire the art form and films are incredibly influential and a powerful medium, but I don't think they should be paid the outrageous salaries they demand nor be treated like gods.
Wow, so . . . it's probably really going to bother you that Ms. Davis in a personal letter to Ms. Streep, not only commended her on her talent, and "formidable" body of work, but also crowned her as her worthy successor. At the time of the writing Betty Davis was considered the greatest living actress . . . ever. Guess Meryl CAN shine those shoes . . . Look it up.
You a silly silly thanngg, you, Chrissie Davis, you silly thanngg. ps, Ms. Davis was always always performing, and I, who love her sincerely, see her performance. Ms. Meryl lives the character, and I never see the Streep under the character. Bette Davis very much admired Meryl Streep, so YOU A SILLY SILLY THANNGG.
I agree about Bette Davis. I've seen almost all her films and in each role, she was just another version of herself. Although, that's also partially the reason why I'd watch those films in the first place, just to see her.
Meryl Streep is the greatest dramatic actress and one of the greatest comediennes who ever lived... but I also think Emily Blunt is uniquely talented... one of the finest dramatic actresses ever (She can act even without script) but also a natural comedienne
Isabelle Adjani is better. Of course, now in her 60, she is not the same inteligente actrice that she was. Because of her obsession with her looks. But anyway, Oscar's are anyway a shity nomination. Meryl deserved much better than this.
when i was 9-10 I fell in love with Meryl.Actually with ap pacino as well.i am 42 now and I still cannot feel anybody else like them like constantly.Meryl was great in every single movie
Meryl Streep's husband had a commission to do one of his sculptures in New Harmony Indiana ...and daily we'd see her riding an old bicycle around town in cut offs.. no pretense, a wave & as smile...
i knew meryl was the best and always be in the 80'. When a magical entertainer hits you like that you can feel it cannot be topped.But I could never choose between meryl and pacino
Meryl Streep is similar to Gary Oldman as an actor in that they both disappear into their roles. Subtle. One barely notices them as well as their characters. They do not stand out really in terms of performance in my arrogant opinion.
Meryl would be the last person to teach an acting class. She would not give up that ace under her sleeve if life depended. Plus, even she - cannot describe the origin of her talent. She just compartments her brain nicely.
Yet she has, and last year, back in April during quarantine she surprised students of her fellow Yale Drama School classmate by joining one of her zoom classes.
Every one has favorites, but Meryl is really unique. No wonder we all love her. Thank you for those picks of celebreties speaking of The great living actress of all times.... And thanks a lot for the part with James Corden, discover that bit was really funny.
swarz oz, the little irony I pointed out went over your head. I'll explain. It's a sort of trade-off in the celebrity's mind. They aren't being asked to talk about themselves but they DO get to appear on camera so it's not an intolerable deal.
Roger Hornaday and this is based on your personally in depth knowledge of ALL THE CELEBRITIES IN THE WORLD. or on you own sad little low self esteem that you can accept other peoples success and that people talk about people no no no of course not ever one on the planet that is famous thousands of people from different backgrounds different ages and cultures all share one trait and you've spotted it .....well done no really are you special ..........................or not ...just a thought
i did not like the last guy. It seemed like he was trying to make it seem that Meryl Streep could not possibly be the only actress to be completely indulged in a character.
I agree with you BentleyQuamp. She was so phony and ridiculous. Had she been the "gracious" person everyone wants to claim she is, she would have politely accepted her award, not given an over the top sanctimonious lecture to her audience regarding her political views. Not the time, or place.
I've always been fascinated by the idea that as people age their 'nature' or character becomes increasingly etched on their faces and it becomes easier to tell what kind of a person they are. Take Shirley MacLaine for example, she just looks like a bitter, unpleasant woman by default...and Meryl Streep - the polar opposite!
It really is true how our character gets permanently etched into our faces as we age. When you're young, you can hide a lot w/ a facade, but as you get older, the expressions you hold do get etched into your face and it's there for those that care to notice.
I am not American. I watch everything. German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Greek, Indonesian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese movies. But Meryl Streep is truly the best actor in the World!
As good as Meryl Streep is, there have been and are other actresses who are just as brilliant who do not get the recognition maybe because they don't have, or didn't have, the power she does in Hollywood. Meryl Streep in my opinion is no greater an actress than Katherine Hebpurn, Shirley MacLaine, Sally Fields, Bette Davis, Olivia de Haviland, Ingrid Bergman, Viola Davis There are some roles these women have taken on that Streep would not have compared to. No one like Olivia de Haviland in Snake Pit; Hepburn in Lion in Winter, Whoopi Goldberg in The Color Purple, etc. Streep deserves praise for her acting abilities but no more so than any of these other women or even the women who were brilliant supporting actresses like Thelma Ritter, Shelley Winters, etc
I agree, I’m such a huge fan of Katherine Hepburn she in my opinion is next level but people don’t recognize her enough… she do have the most Oscars in history for a reason
It's popular and PC to say MS is the greatest actress ever. Actors will enhance their careers by praising her. You know if you say something often enough, people tend to believe it. Remember...actors are all professional liars. Ever see Mary Astor? MS is not a blip on her radar screen.
Yeah yeah Meryl Streep - for a guy she's boring, She's chick flick material. Who cares about her Julia Child impressions or her long list of different roles with different accents - it's just the same crap and it's boring! Helen Mirren is probably the best actress out there. At least Helen M doesn't go around pushing her politics down peoples throats...
Helen Mirren is an excellent actress too. I'd put her up there w/ Streep for sure. I can see where Mirren would have more guy appeal, she has a sex appeal and presence that Meryl doesn't quite have. Meryl is very feminine though and that can be really appealing for a lot of people. I'm not sure Mirren quite has the range that Meryl does though.
Viola Davis' story just slayed me :'D :'D
Despite that I love Meryl Streep, the whole business of celebrity is just one big fucking circle jerk. I mean they do act so very important, when really they're just actors - one of the most useless jobs in the world. I appreciate the art and talent, but just crazy how they're treated.
i totally get what u mean, recognition usually for acting like normal folk, they are great at it at times, but the fanfare is ridiculous

taxi1729 Spot on dude.
I love Shirley MacLaine's attitude towards acting haha
Meryl is a human chamelion. No one does it better.
@Stacy Caruso No, there aren't.
What about me? :(
If you don't like Meryl, you don't know pure talent.
I cannot stand Ms Streep--I will NEVER go to a film that features her. Let's face it, she cannot shine Bette Davis's shoes.
Wow, so . . . it's probably really going to bother you that Ms. Davis in a personal letter to Ms. Streep, not only commended her on her talent, and "formidable" body of work, but also crowned her as her worthy successor.

Chrissie Davis So true! Next to Bette Davis, who is an eternal flame; Meryl Sreep is an appliance bulb
Even if Meryl would be a lonely dressmaker, she would still steal the movie.
Meryl Streep is the greatest dramatic actress and one of the greatest comediennes who ever lived... but I also think Emily Blunt is uniquely talented... one of the finest dramatic actresses ever (She can act even without script) but also a natural comedienne
More like Julie Andrews
Isabelle Adjani is better. Of course, now in her 60, she is not the same inteligente actrice that she was. Because of her obsession with her looks. But anyway, Oscar's are anyway a shity nomination. Meryl deserved much better than this.
Honestly, Meryl's "house of the spirits" act stole my breath
One of My Very Favorite's ♡
If Meryl Streep almost lost her life in front of me, I will cry non stop and be traumatized
when i was 9-10 I fell in love with Meryl.Actually with ap pacino as well.i am 42 now and I still cannot feel anybody else like them like constantly.Meryl was great in every single movie
No doubt, she's the most diverse actress we'll ever have!!
Agreed. She's been my favourite actress since my adolescence. Irreplaceable
They were both so great in Angels in America.
Mommy, she's not good, she's not nice, she's just right. Obviously.
I love that lyric. I love the witch. And of course, I love Meryl.
Love Emily Blunt
"Dream on..."
:D
Gábor Vág ji
Loved this compilation!!! ❤️ Thanks for posting!
Meryl Streep IS the best actress of all time.
I’d say Katherine Hepburn is
That does not exist!!!...you're so self centered...there's great actors outside usa...
@@thebuddyholly Bette Davis disagreed she wrote a letter to Meryl saying she was the next Bette Davis.
@@FinleyHarrison-hy2sm that doesn’t mean anything to me. Meryl Streep is nowhere near Bette Davis
@@thebuddyholly So why you watching Meryl then and don't you trust Bette Davis if you like her? If you aren't a meryl fan then go the f a way.
Omg the little girl who is fanning over Meryl... So adorable
3:34 had me laughing....but Meryl is the best actress I ever seen
Meryl needs to work with Dolly Parton !!!
No. Just no.
Oh my god! I LOVE VIOLA! :D
yes; she is a Meryl Streep herself!!
❤Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep is authentic... live her .
Meryl Streep's husband had a commission to do one of his sculptures in New Harmony Indiana ...and daily we'd see her riding an old bicycle around town in cut offs.. no pretense, a wave & as smile...
i knew meryl was the best and always be in the 80'. When a magical entertainer hits you like that you can feel it cannot be topped.But I could never choose between meryl and pacino
U nailed that 1 nice call and accurate
They both make look easy only the GREAT ONES R ABLE 2 THAT
IONS

From watching this you would think that Meryl Streep is God. lol
God only wishes to be as great as Meryl!
Elee Moussa lol
nice one.
Elee Moussa The difference is God may forgive you. Meryl wouldn't.
superb!
The last story is the most adorable one
Every one has favorites, but Meryl is really unique. No wonder we all love her. Thank you for those picks of celebreties speaking of The great living actress of all times....
And thanks a lot for the part with James Corden, discover that bit was really funny.
Before Meryl Streep, there was Shirley MacLaine.
No, it was Bette Davis, Shirley was just aspiring to be new Bette Davis
She is devil in acting... 😘😂
Chris Rock is Meryl matereal!!!!! 🙏🏾
Thing is Meryl is a mom first so you can't do everything you want as an actress always and be a mom.
I never realised that Chris Rock is kinda hot.
but Shirley is Warren Beatty's sister
Everybody loves her.
Mary Louise Streep is Our Countries Queen....♡
Here the correct form is instead _"our country's queens"_ and not "our countries queen".
Celebrities hate talking about other people than themselves but they'll do it eagerly if they can do it in front of a camera.
Well, these ARE televised interviews. What did you expect them to talk about? Hitler's invasion of Poland?
swarz oz, the little irony I pointed out went over your head. I'll explain. It's a sort of trade-off in the celebrity's mind. They aren't being asked to talk about themselves but they DO get to appear on camera so it's not an intolerable deal.
Nothing ironic in what you said.

swarze oz....funny and love you on this thread
I loveeeeeeeee her!
maryl=god
Your blasphemy puts you in serious danger. Repent.
Shirley MacClaine on L. King... she's off. Meryl is up for discussion.
Christ, Chris pine. Cut to the chase
i did not like the last guy. It seemed like he was trying to make it seem that Meryl Streep could not possibly be the only actress to be completely indulged in a character.
Who is Meryl Streep 5? 😐
Omg Meryl fell?!!!
Ha! That's what happens when a mom is around! Real wonder women! I mean all mom's
I like liv ullmann, anna magniani, gleen close, kate winslet, elizabeth taylore.
Anna Magniani! What a great actress.
jimmy fallon se ven tan falso en sus entrevistas todo actuado
Hahahah
So what movie has this woman been in ?? I'm not sure I've seen her ..
"The River Wild" , "Death Becomes Her", much more.
OH , Ill look her up and this google . Thanks for the comment .
Yeah, check out google too...it's really cool, sputnic.
It's because you remember that character not the actor.
you are from another planet ? so funny guy
My fave Meryl "performance",the golden globes feigning upset over the bullshit Trump story..Top class acting from ms Streep.
fuck off............................ seriously. just go somewhere else
Good comeback :) It must have took your 12 brain cells hours to construct that comment?!
I agree with you BentleyQuamp. She was so phony and ridiculous. Had she been the "gracious" person everyone wants to claim she is, she would have politely accepted her award, not given an over the top sanctimonious lecture to her audience regarding her political views. Not the time, or place.

oh, so you know Shirley MacLaine personally!
It really is true how our character gets permanently etched into our faces as we age. When you're young, you can hide a lot w/ a facade, but as you get older, the expressions you hold do get etched into your face and it's there for those that care to notice.
I didn't get bitterness at all. I think Shirley's a plain speaker.
Meryl Streep is good, but her political views suck!
No. Meryl is Great and her political views are just and sound.
What are her political views?
This is just the american way of seeing talent even though Meryl is brillant but there are other actresses as good as she is
I am not American. I watch everything. German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Greek, Indonesian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese movies.
But Meryl Streep is truly the best actor in the World!

The best performance Meryl Streep gave was when she stood up and gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski.....
Niccce! Got it
