Your Reaction to M. Streep's Award Speech?

That is exactly why no one watches awards shows. She was there to receive an award for what she makes a very comfortable living doing. She should have simply expressed her gratitude for that, and walked away.

I completely agree with her and her points about bullying, empathy and art. I thought she did it in a classy, heartfelt way. I don't take issue with celebrities being political. I may not always agree, but they're human beings with the right to their opinions, and they have a platform and a following. They can be a voice for change, for compassion, for logic and reason just as anyone in the public eye can be. Just because she's an artist doesn't make her any less credible to me. I take opinions of anyone who states them and filter them against facts and my own knowledge, experience and conscience.

For. And for the record - for people who find her comments political - human decency is not a political topic.

I can't remember the last time I watched a silly meaningless awards show.

I hate it when celebrities bring up politics at award ceremonies. 🙄

A lot of people dismissing the opinions of Streep because she is a rich and famous actress. Abuse of privilege etc.

By the same logic; reality TV billionaires should also keep their council, surely?

She's an actress, she does what all kids do, pretends to be someone else. She's hardly an intellectual. Anyone who would look to her for direction has got to be dumber than dirt. But she is entitled to say whatever she wants. And her critics are entitled to criticize. I don't care. Have fun y'all.

Over the top as you'd expect from a actress but theres an element of truth to it

I think she rocked it.

I would be for it if she had said something like that too when Serbia, Libya or Syria were under attack. Now it is just opportunistic.

It would be nice too if movie and music industry tried to make some worthy art, not only speeches, manifestos and campaigns.

Don't care.

The sentiments are fine. But I don't think the fact that Streep said them deserves any attention. She's an actress, that's all.

By the way, we all know she was referring to Trump, but did she actually say so?

I think she's bitching about things she imagines might happen and has no clue what the real world is like

Nice of her saying those inspiring words in a peaceful and inspiring way. Just like how Mr De Caprio delivered his speech about global warming in a very eloquent manner.

Like she knows what's going on in d real world

She, and her rich & powerful Hollywood brethren, should heed their own admonishments. 🤔

Couldn´t agree more...to say the least. I posted here my opinion about it.
