I’m only 20 and i don’t know that much about Meryl Streep. and here i am watching all of meryl streep movies and videos. i feel like Meryl Streep is one of the most talented actresses EVER. and that tribute is really really heartfelt.
Watch her movies. You'll learn. ;-)
"She travelled the map of a woman's soul." How beautiful is that?!
Stanley Tucci + Meryl Streep = amazing. No matter what they're doing.
Meryl Streep the best actress in the history of the world.
"You're Meryl-bloody-Streep!" - I am totally using this from now on.
Oh... the little smile between Kevin and Meryl when he cutely said "Can I say Sophie's choice ?", that totally moved me to tears... I'm terrible...
That movie was so important then and now. Because the choice was horrific! And it happened all day everyday in those horrible years of those camps
She is the best actress I have ever seen. Period. A Dutch fan.
I already feel awckward when I'm applauded after blowing my birthday candles. I can't imagine how intense this feels like
Ikr!!! I'd be fucking mortified
Very intense, but very deserved.
Awckward...that confuses me.
you made me keep repeating that part. Such a beautiful moment
Meryl Streep is one of my favorite actress.
She is one of the true legends.
She will always be one of the greatest.
She has been deserving of every award.
Hello Lillian, how are you doing today?
Meryl Streep is one of the greatest actresses ever. She becomes every role she plays and there is no movie she hasn't been in that isn't the tops
She is thee ACTRESS!
As they today, the GOAT.
She is the greatest actress ...ever
"... when I know I've said something for a... soul."
I just love this line.
I think her acting is superior directly because of the way she really inhabits her character. She clearly has a deep sense of empathy and love for human beings that is a rarity among actors who generally tend to be self centered narcissists.
Meryl Streep is just the best actress and anyone who thinks otherwise should rethink EVERYTHING. Meryl is my role model. she deserves every single award that she has ever won. She is so beautiful and the best at what she does.
+susan jane I love Meryl but it doesn't mean she is worthy of admiration.
I just only look up to Kate Hepburn for her fierce independence and strong-willed personality (personal life not just on screen). Meryl is a scheming opportunist.#she knows
sophies choice baby.
soz but "fierce independence" dont be fooled by film roles and real life you should read her bio. she chose to devote herself to an alcoholic man who refused to divorce his wife (Spencer Tracy) and belittled her in front of their friends including sitting at his feet after dinner parties.
Personally I have no problem if a woman chose to allow herself to be treated like and I still love some of her films but I dont quite get the connection between being fond of one actress and finding it a reason to be rude about a great actress
@111739167928144203486 I am disrespectful towards Meryl.
What i am trying to say is that Kate had a lot of hardships and she managed to surpass them and become a great screen legend and most importantly, a greatest human being.of living independently among actors in general. Furthermore, I know she has her weaknesses but she still has such forceful energy to live on, crafting more greater performances. It is her spirit that shines here.
By constrast, Meryl is just a mediocre "fine" example of the scheming actress and opportunist - human being. Her life had nothing for other actresses to learn from except for being opportunists. In fact, I am not talking about ""inspiration"" or "talents" because without a doubt, to become a successful one, you have to be talented and skillful enough to get on.
In short, she is still not worth being admired because of just making use of the resources "available" from other actresses to make it become hers.
Above all, KH should be taken much more credit in a capacity as a "human being" than the other. Hail her !!!
Scottie Baxter A great performance from a scheming person. :)))))
z delany Maybe you should know the story of Meryl boosting her breast to get the role in "Out of Africa". Read it :v
All things considered, she is not worthy of admiration.
I love Meryl.She's a really passionate woman and puts a lot of effort into her work.Not one movie have I seen that she is horrible at.Every single movie is just amazing with her in it.She deserved all this.
Good Lord, Anne Hathaway is awesomely talented. Meryl....what can you say that hasn't already been said?
I agree, what a voice!
YEAH for some reason I always swoon when she sings
I love Anne
Absolutely correct in both sentiments!
@@shelleymackay9736 Tiene una voz excelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meryl is an important women in our American life. In the world. She's good at what she does. I think she is the best at what she does. She honors all of us with her excellence. And it reflects on all of us. It elevates us all. Thank you. So good she is. So watchable she is. And because of film, she will always be able to elevate us forever. And how great is that.
+Beth Watkins Brilliantly stated !!! I JUST LOVE HER SO !!!
Not only American but the world
Meryl is forever an inspiration to me. She is quite simply the best of the best. Long may she reign.
all i can say is we are very lucky to have been in the same time as her
True. She represents fine quality of this culture. As she was invited to Shanghai Movie Festival to serve as a jury she learned Chinese. This type of attitude, dedication, and professionalism sets an example to everyone she meets. She earns respect for her and for the culture she represents.
This was one of the most entertaining segments in all of the Kennedy Center Honors. Meryl Streep is terrific. Period.
Meryl Streep is truly a legend of our time. As said here, has not only a tremendous body of work, but demonstrates excellence in everything she does, as well as seeming to be a really good, funny, compassionate person. There are very few actors that both of these things can apply to.
One exception for me was "Ricki and the flash". I HATED that movie.
This is great it's a "Prada" reunion on stage.
Meryl Streeps performances onscreen transcend acting and they reveal to us the powerful experience of being human in the deepest ways possible....She often times reveal emotions onscreen that humans have inside but don't always bring to the surface. Through her acting she has the ability to make the human experience more visible to us. AND for that she simply is THE GREASTEST ACTRESS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome Meryl.
I loved how she enjoyed the entire program. She sits looking like a child with wide eyed interest, really happy to be there and occasionally looking at the other recipients as they're being honored as if to see if they're enjoying it as much as she.
Who doesn't love Meryl Streep?
Meryl is the reason I wanted to act and still do. I love her so much.
Meryl Streep stands in her own category : above all other actresses .
when Anne hathaway sings, you don't just hear her good vice, you also hear the emotions :)
YES
So true!!
She was fantastic as Fantine but Emily Blunt ‘IS’ Mary Poppins.
@@Hydrophobiawhipwhop No, Julie Andrews *is* Mary Poppins.
love meryl streep she can make anybody feel safe and calm
OMG. Every time I watch this one, I can't help crying. Everyone loves her and I know why. Because she's the greatest actress , of course and that humble personality. I love her so mcuh.
Me too man!
@@christophermiller159Dear lord you read my mind, I get emotional as well. She is really a gifted human being.
She is SO humble. And so funny in interviews and in accepting awards. I've been watching videos of her all day.
There is a reason why Meryl Streep is named the greatest actress of all time. It's not just her ability to master almost any accent it's the way she dives so deep down into each character that she plays she puts her heart and soul into every single role. She deserves every award she has there will never be another Meryl!
anne hathaway's performance's terrific
In every scence she has two jobs. The first is her own performance which is always breath taking. The second one is stabalizing the other actor who is having a nervous breakdown because the are in a scene with Meryl Streep. 😄 For real.
When I saw her in The Cherry Orchard....for $4....I knew she would be a major star. She just glowed.
I was fortunate enough to see Meryl Streep in 1977's The Cherry Orchard as well. She was absolutely mesmerizing. It was impossible to watch anyone but her when she was on stage.
I remember telling my fellow drama majors that she was going to be very famous one day. I am so thrilled -- but not surprised -- by her amazing success. And I am so impressed by her successful personal life and integrity as well.
She is the most talented and beautiful actress of our generation. I am glad I got to see her craft.
Meryl Streep is one of the greatest of all time, love watching her on screen and follow her public works off screen.
Hollywood Royalty!!!! IMHO the very best actress EVER!!!!!!!
I just realized that Meryl Streep has one hell of a year in 2011/2012 in then award season. In reference to Tracy Ullman, Meryl won the Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA for her profound performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. I didn't know she was honored at the Kennedy Year during the same season. Meryl Streep is truly won of the greatest actresses and I foresee that she carry on with an amazing and successful career. I believe Meryl can tie Katherine Hepburn with a record number of 4 Academy Awards! We believe in you Meryl Streep. Eat. Sleep. Meryl Streep.
No way dear. Margaret Thatcher is her top already. Perhaps keep being nominated with no more wins. Or maybe a Jean ...Humanitarian. blah blah blah
And Meryl will never be as great in character like Kate Hepburn
@@screenactorsguilable Of course, you are joking, right?
@@SuperJaspersmom I hold a view that Meryl is a dull and trivial character in comparison to Kate's. I am not talking tall about acting ok
@@screenactorsguilable Be careful now. Kate Hepburn was a bigger liberal than Meryl. Also, Kate was allegedly a lesbian. Chances are very strong, that Ms. Hepburn would NOT be a trump supporter either.
Besides, Meryl is the better actor, anyway. It's ok, I understand.
I have always loved Meryl Streep, she can play any part, person, she has it all. Brilliant actress. 👏❤️🥰
Glenn Clos in the attendance. I love it seeing strong women supporting each other
Glenn Close and Meryl Streep are not friends. In fact they do not like each other. That's why presence of Glenn is so impressive. She appreciates Meryl, not liking her.
Who is Glenn Clos?
“I have never been close friends with Meryl. We have huge respect for each other, but I have only done one thing with her, The House Of The Spirits.”
@@lestergreelack3131 She has NEVER stated she dislikes her.
I had a dream Christmas night w/Meryl Streep in it. Odd. We were walking...talking about organizing our lives in 2012. Then, I just googled her & came across this!!! I had no idea she was honored. I actually spent this day in the ER. It's been such a rough year battling cancer & lyme. But in a good way, it has slowed me down to watch A LOT of film. Meryl Streep is truly one of the most beautiful, talented, & caring souls in the world. Her reward already came when she was born into this world.
Meryl has also transported me through her magic during the most difficulty times. It's not about her transformation. It's about where we end up after watching her performances.
I loved it. Such an amazing woman. I decided to learn English just because of her. She's my inspiration. Thanks for sharing this. I've watched every single movie she's been in.
Let me say that it takes a lot to impress me, but Meryl does it flawlessly. But being able to speak and write more than one language is also impressive! And I mean REALLY impressive! Bravo and a standing ovation to you!
@@melissaupton2097 oh, dear lord! You've just made me smile big time. Thanks very much. I simply love her. Greetings from Mexico!
We all know she at the greatest actress of Our Generation. She can put on any accent and make you believe that she is that character
Well guess u have not heard of KH ( Katharine Hepburn )
This is fabulous... I got so tearful... There's no woman like her. And I think Kevin Kline is the most adorable man on earth !
I love Meryl Streep :)
She is one of the most gifted artist ever and she is a movie industry icon
How true Meryl disappears into her role & becomes visible in her character! Congrats to the most fab lady Meryl Streep ❤
Meryl is so amazing! I ADORE her in every way. We were once talking to an actor after a play and she walked up and introduced herself! Was the one time in life I was tongue-tied to meet a celeb. Because I love her in everything, She is just such a real person. No airs.
Very cool. I'd love to meet her. I would, in the words of Woody Allen, ' sell my mother to the Arabs', to just be able to behold her, once. Great actress, great woman.
She is one of the best actresses alive today.
Oh My God what a show !!! Good kisses from France and thanks for the show and thanks Meryl Streep, we love you .....
the best actress in the wordl, a very decent human being too.i love meryl very much.
Anne, Emily and Meryl are the best! 😍😍😍
Meryl Streep.. There really are no words! My life is better just knowing that there is someone in this world as spectacular as she is. Her gift , talent, heart, and humor are all things I wish to achieve with my own gifts and talent and to be bless with a heart as gran as hers.
If you watch Meryl Streep play the character, Helen Archer, in the GREAT motion picture "Ironweed", also starring Jack Nicholson, you will have to agree that she is definitely one of the GREATEST actresses of all time !
IS the greatest actor of all time!
I had the privilege of seeing Ms. Streep in the Central Park Shakespeare in the Park production of "King Lear" in which she played alongside James Earl Jones. No one had ever heard of her and on seeing her name in the playbill, I recall voicing my considered opinion that she wouldn't get far with a name like Streep. By the end of the play, I was in awe of her. I knew I had just seen the birth of a force to be reckoned with.
Meryl Streep is the most beautiful and wonderful thing that has happened to the film industry. Like man I love her so much she just makes it better . She is the best , my role model. 😍😍😘😘
From the moment I saw Streep on stage in the mdi 70's, I knew I was seeing magic...and have seen much more since then. She has no peer. No one even comes close.
Nick Mayor You‘ve seen Meryl in the 70‘s on stage? 😱😍😭❤️🙏🏻
She's an absolute Legend and I'm So bloody proud to be alive in her same era!!!
I almost died when I saw this last night. Meryl is of course simply the best. Love Anne number and the reaction on Meryl face when Anne did that split is priceless. I saw the whole thing and Meryl cried alot during it. Especially during the Barbara Cook tribute. Many thanks for the upload.
Anne, what a voice!
When an actress completely disappears in the character she is playing it is a joy to watch.....I put Meryl in the same category with Bette Davis and Gena Rowlands, who are also amazing and my favorite actresses as well.....I can't think of a single movie where Meryl didn't give it her all.....I look forward to each movie role she plays.... loved it when Kevin Kline starts to speak and when the other fellow actors who worked with Meryl spoke....so sweet and funny 👍 💜 💜 💜 💜
Hello Lynn, how are you doing today?
She IS amazing.
she is a legend
Oh. M. G. Mary Louise Streep!! I'm lost for words. I can't belive I'm watching almost all her videos today. Shooooot! I love her😍
When you are a little better than others, there are jealous and competition; when you truly go above and reach such a high level, everyone cheers for you and truly share the joy of your achievement.
Indeed, for over 40 years, there has been a TRUE ACTRESS, THE MOST TALENTED, THE MOST LOVED and (on merit) THE MOST PRAISED by all those who love and know what "Artistic Film" is .... this actress is MERYL STREEP .... there are a few other great actresses who have asserted themselves in time in special movies, but (maybe I'm subjective) no other actress is worth the artistic talent of Meryl Streep .... thank God that I am contemporary with this great DIVA of world cinema .... to be nominated 17 times for the famous OSCAR is a performance that has never been and will never be in cinema .... "God bless you Meryl Streep"! ...
Hello Nicolae, how are you doing today?
Anne is our generation's Meryl. Meryl will always be one of a kind, but so is Anne. Anne as Fantine is timeless. Meryl embodies every character and I believe Anne is doing a fabulous job following in her footsteps. ❤
Had the amazing luck to see her in "Taming of the Shrew" at Central Park's Delacorte (with the late, great Raul Julia)oh so many moons ago when she we fresh out of drama school....you knew immediately she was a MAJOR talent... her star was that apparent.
I think I have seen EVERY film of hers!!! Not only is she an amazing actress, but she chooses some really fine films in which to appear. Has she ever had a miss?
Even if the movie wasn't outstanding,her performances always elevate it.
Wonderful tribute by her colleagues. As we say in Australia, "Meryl is 'fair dinkum'."
And she pretty much nailed the Aussie accent, too, which I haven't heard too many American actors do.
This is so good. So very very good. I can watch this once every week.
When someone says they don't like Meryl Streep, I instantly know that I don't care to spend anymore time around that person. Not another second.
Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway were the best part... besides meryl of course
What a awesome girl Meryl Streep is!
Hats down for Anne H. performance!
Couldn't ask for anyone finer as an actress!
Mama Mia ....she can sing ,,,,,god bless you Meryl....lotsa love from India
Thank you so much for posting this! Completely wonderful and Meryl is so deserving of this honor! Number 1 on my bucket list would be to meet Ms. Meryl Streep in person. She is truly an amazing actress and one can only imagine a great human being.
She is one of the few actors in Hollywood that has the right to be called A Royalty and A Queen.
her husband is gracious...behind every successful woman is a man
It's good that he doesn't seem insecure of her success. Many men struggle with that.
Meryl Streep doesn't need cinema, cinema needs Meryl Streep.
Anne Hathaway has a beautiful Broadway type of voice!
meryl Streep is the best !!!!
Meryl Streep truly is one of the GREATEST actors of our time. every honor, every award she recieves is well deserved. I admired her growing up, and I admire her still.
The queen!!!!
The most excellent actress that walks this earth! Hail, Meryl! Salute!
Greatest contemporary actress of our time !! So versatile and brilliant
No other word but ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
MERYL is soooooo amazing just love her :))))))))) xxxxxx
What a body of work Meryl Streep has accumulated. It's really unbelievable.
Shes the best!!!
The finest actress!
Meryl Streep is Katherine Hepburn of our time; I have seen just about every movie she has done, and she amazing, just amazing. There will never be another Meryl Streep, so please enjoy her now because we may never get another chance.
Who is this woman for all seasons....Meryl has brought great joy to my life. She epitomizes everything I'd ever imagined acting to be and then some. Her range is phenomenal, her gifts too countless to even list. The awards are secondary to her amazing personality simply as a fellow human being giving life to everything she touches.
is meryl streep human...no. is she a star. no. is she an angel. no. is she a goddess. no. is she The GODDESS. HELL YES!!!
I cannot believe it. I think I have actually seen all of Meryl's movies. YES!
i just love her in those kramer vs kramer scenes it is just unbelivable love her
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW NOT ONLY WAS THAT FANTASTIC THAT WAS SENSATIONAL THATS WAS ALSUME BUT MISS MERYL STREEPS DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT, CAUSE SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST, THE BEST, AND I AM A FAN AMEN AMEN.
i started crying when the theme song of 'out of africa' began to play. my favourite Meryl Streep movie.
Am I the only one who can say everything Meryl said because I just saw her lips?😁 like Stop it, then thank you and Bravo🥰She is the best actress that has ever lived on Earth..in bilion years there wasnt any better actress than Meryl is❤️i love her so much, she deserves this and much more..she’s even better than any actor in the world❤️i think that every film she’s been in is the best💕and btw, did you notice that Anne Hathaway’s voice is so great you can hear her through all other voices?☺️
I wish i could meet meryl shes such an inspiration i wanted to be singer then i wached mama mia then i wanted to be an actress luv her
I had the good fortune to wait on Meryl Streep and her family at a restaurant i worked at in Salisbury Connecticut years ago. (About 1999 I think) she was down to earth and warm. When I told her how her scene in the Library in Sophies Choice brought me to tears to told me that the actor who played the librarian in that scene was her best friend from college. I felt comfortable talking with her unlike some other celebrities i met thru thr years. She truly is a national treasure. A class act.
no one to honour meryl like tracy :) both great friends.
A gift to the world 🌎. The greatest actor of all time!
AND SHE VISITS THE SOUL!!!!! OF ALL OF US!!!!!!
It is a wonderful tribute in every way you can tell. Greatness from everybody.
I am American Movies Film Historian and Filmmaker because of that.
It is what I admired from the Americans all my life: that sensation of not having a profile of arrogance but treating the tribute with elegance, sense of humor, without any vanity or whatsoever.
Formidable in every way.
This includes the camera operator and director, who takes Kevin Kline saying to Hathaway a kind of
'Well done' (you can read his lips), absolutely spontaneous and out of any kind of rehearsal.
Even that, it is formidable (Hathaway was extraordinary).
Organization, education, grace, talent...
The greatness I always loved.
About Meryl Streep, it is impossible to define her.
