Meryl Streep can play Batman and still win best actress.
+Iva Gureshidze nice reference to modern family ;)
lol so true😁😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cameron Tucker Modern Family.... hahaaa
Iva Gureshidze .. she could read from the phone book and win
Iva Gureshidze 😂😂😂😂
She's won so many Oscars she is starting to look like one!
+Pokemontas I think only 5 other people have won 3 or more!
+Pokemontas oh maaaa gaaad... hahahaha!!!
Nanz Calrissian Only? :P
+Nanz Calrissian I wonder what kind of a look Peter O'Toole would give you if he read that. ;)
Great Books of the Western Tradition
Reminds me what Ellen DeGeneres told him at the Oscars "You know what they say! Third time's a charm!" Hahahahaaaa
Meryl Streep could be cast as a jar of mayonnaise and still win best actress.
i know : )
+Jesse Guzman as being able to be nominated 19 times didn't mean much.
+Angel F. lmao
+doody magoob No joke. She would find SOME way to personify the essence of a whipped condiment in a jar sitting in the fridge with such raw honesty it would move audiences to tears.
Angel F. So true
Love how she thanked her husband first. So much class!
BRAD PITT wtf r u talkin
She also dedicated most of her speech to her makeup artist and close friend for many years Roy Helland! (Who won his first Oscar while doing Meryl’s makeup in The Iron Lady) Now that’s class as well!
That's because she didn't have the time to do it when she won for Sophie's Choice.
Like when she was under Weinstein's desk :D
So brave, and then calling Harvey a God, sooo brave
Why can't you guys show the announcement and the reaction too?! That's my favourite part.
+Allen M. Quinn ........... I'm glad they let this poor white woman win at least once in her life. All the awards go to minorities all the time. At least Streep could say she won once in her life and not 2 or 3 times like black people
+ExclusiveLM she won during the 1987 or something oscars for Best Actress and also 2007 i think
+Zak “Kookie” Tyxe oh no wait 1983 oscars she won as Best Actress and 2007 for Golden Globe..sorry
+Zak “Kookie” Tyxe he's being sarcastic
+lithium really? I can't tell cuz it's a comment XD
shes even dressed like an Oscar!! this woman is brilliant
yeah Hahaha
Probably knew she was the winner
God! Not only has she mastered the art of acting, she's also mastered giving a great fucking speech. She's just in a whole different level of talent, no one compares to Streep.
alex arambula YEAHHH AGREEEEE
Sorry, but she is the Queen!
but i'm not.
why would you be sorry, it's a fact :)
***** i think you have mistaken me for someone else
Meryl is one of the greatest actress in this generation could have. She has 3 Oscars already. That's an incredible accomplishment for her. 😊😊
She's a great actress but she's certainly not the best the best is probably Katherine Hepburn
"I'll never be up here again"
It's funny to me that she is this humble. She's honestly the best actress in the world. She IS! It's incredible! And let's be honest, every time she has been nominated she should've won. She didn't because people want to give a chance to other actresses. If she hadn't won this time, the Oscar would've gone to Viola Davis for The Help.
She's humble and sweet and an all around incredible person. I don't know if what she said about half of america going "aaah, her, again..." is true, but if it is, then there's something wrong with half of america.
+Alvaro Pizarro My thoughts exactly.
It' s like Venus Williams, half wants her to keep winning, half wants enough already, give others a chance lol
I think so . she is the most intelligent actress in the world . Oscar always gives a chance for the others. and crudely nominates her name for up standard nomination on each year.
+ana martinez you mean Serena...
Something's wrong with half of america anyway.
"This is such a great honor, but the thing that counts the most with me is the friendships, and the love, and the sheer joy we have shared making movies together, my friends..."
This is pure humility and class. Meryl rules.
This is not humility, this is a movie irl.
Slays. Don’t forget slays all.
I think she was referring to having an Oscar is an honor but that doesn't she holds value most. She valued her longevity in the industry and how she earned the respect of all the people whom she worked with. You can tell Meryl is showing gratitude.
The oscars is the biggest delusion on the planet. The world is full of talented artists who are never even looked at. And yet the rich and lucky just keep getting richer and luckier and applauding each other for it. Scumbags. Meryl is the worst of all - nobody should have that many opportunities in a poverty-stricken world.
@@jay_rjabonillo9908 I like the gratitude she pays to everyone, including those who have passed (can't help but think of the man she loved before Don, the actor, John Cazale).
They should just have a category for Best of Meryl Streep and just give it to her every year. And yet she would deserve to win more often. She's the greatest.
Well she is maybe
Agreed.
As they say, she is indeed the GOAT -- and it's even better that she didn't know what that meant for a while and thought her castmates in Don't Look Up were calling her an old goat! 😂
The best part of the video was cutted off!
When Meryl hears her name and says: "WHAT?"
Right! And the reactions of the actresses the moment she was announced as the winner! Everything was cutted off!
Seriously! That's the best part!! That's when I also threw my remote at the wall in response.
Paulo Araujo cutter off?
@@jeffersonborges9932 yea where is that can i find it?
@@bluecollarmenproductions might not be the best one but here is one www.dailymotion.com/video/xp3cv1
So an acting icon wins her 3rd Oscar and you cut the part out when she actually won that award? Most of the other Oscar videos have the "and the Oscar goes to..." moment, but not this one. Very odd.
"acting icon" more like most overrated actress on earth!
Heroin Oskar please, not even, her performances earn her these nominations for a reason ya know, don’t be a fool
dont be a fool, her relations earned her the nominations and the awards she`s got. At least in the past 25 years no performance deserved to be oscar nominated. The 2012 win was ridiculous.
Heroin Oskar IKR?! Rooney Mara had this award but no streep had to take it.
No “relations” get you nominations, only talent and hard work does. Don’t be a fool and believe everything you see.
She’s giving a performance even when she delivers her speech!
Meryl Streep is THE greatest living actor. Hands down. And anyone who wasn't seen every one of her movie can not debate. She's been robbed at the oscars for years!! She should've won 10 by now!
Your right she has been robbed too many times.
Meryl robbed? LOL
I think she is the best actress of all time! Who do you think is better? Katherine Hepburn ?
Nicole Kidman, perhaps.
@@thomasthompson6378 seriously ?
They should just dub her Queen of the Oscars. She's been nominated so many times.
Basically, she farts = she gets a nod (deserved or not).
snowballwannabe and another one.
What about Leonardo Dicaprio? He's also been robbed many a time!
jecka1982 Until one day, they start and then bash his head in with all the Oscars they'll throw at him...
They should dub her queen of the world, she's awesome :)
Notice how her speech wasn’t about her, it was about thanking others. Classy lady.
Any time I think, oh no, Meryl Streep AGAIN, I just watch one of her extraordinary performances. And then I remember that she is great and deserves all of her recognition. It's really as simple as that.
Dave Glo yassssss
No no
@@michaelji7062BURIKAK MO POOTA
The fact that everyone is in tears listening to her, is just to show how much she is respected. Would be nice to have the full clip.
Hope she wins again!
I think she will be there one more time
Temo barata i fucking hope so
Please, a fourth one would be literally mind-blowing. She's not made making history yet.
Temo barata forget Emma Stone ?
I AM OBSESSED BY EMMA STONE ..Stone will never be half as good as Streep
Jan Jacobsen I admit that Meryl Streep is a giant but Emma Stone too 😉
No grandstanding, just emotional gratitude. I think this might be the perfect oscar acceptance speech. Classy as FUCK (unlike myself).
Simon Brooke I just wanted to say that I don't understand why you said she's classy as fuck UNLIKE YOU. You're beautiful in and out and you can reach your goals just like her, you can be as amazing as she is! ❤
Thanks Celeste. I don't know why I said it either... But I did love getting a little email alert that a total stranger had sent me a nice compliment. Thanks a lot!
Simon Brooke Oh no problem, it's just what I feel inside of myself; we all are equal, we're humans, and humans can do everything they want! ❤
You're lovely. Please keep being lovely. It's made me want to be lovely and put me in a really good mood. So thank you! x
Simon Brooke the Aliens are going to kill us all, because they read your comments.
LEGEND. Yet so humble.
She ager beautifully

Is that a '30 Rock' quote?
Roman Darius Why do you say that? I'm curious
Adrenochrome ;)
How could someone be so unbelievably talented and natural and lovely at the same time
3 Oscars out of ¡21 nominations! 🤯 WOW 🤯
Even if she doesn't win, she's a winner. She's definitely the best actress of all time.
I couldn’t agree more 🙋🏼♀️
She's wrong. She WILL be up there again.
Not sure, there is no more Weinstein :D
No not correct
JO 7Z okay ..so you think Meryl wins because of Weintein..that everything she has achieved is because of Harvey?
@@johannsimonot Weinstein didn't really find success in the industry until 1997 when The English Patient became the first Best Picture winner for Miramax. So, very likely they didn't work together until he had a modicum of success because by that time she had already been nominated 10 times for acting Oscars, winning two one for Kramer vs. Kramer and the legendary Sophie's Choice. Trust me she doesn't need Weinstein she has been doing great dating back to her nomination for a Tony in 1976 after only debuting as a professional actor the year before in 1975.
@Verica Vuckovic thank you :)
I actually watched The Iron Lady AFTER she won this Oscar and now I see why she did win it, her performance in the film was brilliant and flawless. Viola Davis was beyond amazing in The Help and I think even this night, Meryl knew Viola should've won that Oscar, that's why she was making that job like "Oh, Come on!!"... lol I love both of them though. Both are such amazing talents and Viola's time will come :)
+jcr89 Viola was better in "Doubt" and she was onscreen for about 4 minutes.
Word to the wise, always watch the movies before they award them, sometimes just knowing they've won can give us unwanted bias.
The cool part is Meryl and Viola became such good friends after filming Doubt and it’s awesome they were there to witness each other win their Oscars on stage. (They were both nominees for 2011 and 2016!)
@Reginald Wilson Not against Meryl in this particular role: Meryl was unbeatable in "The Iron Lady".
@tfc Wow what a racist and disgusting comment, even if you meant it as a joke. Meryl has vocally supported diversity in Hollywood and multiple times used her platform to graciously lift up other people. It's really classless of you to use her as a reason to put other actors down, and really dishonest of you to claim she'd be so self-segregating.
can you imagine being married to meryl streep....amazing yet terrifying
"honey i got a raise"
"thats lovely dear, i won 3 oscars"
Mr. Gummer is a sculptor.
Why do not show the whole presentation for best actress? It doesnt even show the moment they say her name. Her reaction is priceless.
So... The question is: WHEN Glenn Close will get an Academy Award? WHEN?
Never...
An honorary one in a while.
As much as I admire Streep (and feel that she greatly deserves all her recognition), I thought Glenn Close gave a superior performance as Albert Nobbs. And speaking of 'superior,' Streep should've won for Doubt, not Iron Lady. But, as Meryl would say, whatever.
Jefferson Borges She would have deserved one in the past, but her nomination for Albert Nobbs felt lazy and out of guilt for not having given her an actual win before. I would have much sooner given that slot to Tilda Swinton in We Need to Talk About Kevin
blondie666 I'd say Kirsten Dunst in "Melancholia" myself, but wholeheartedly agree on the problem with Close's performance, which is sad because that should have been her magnum opus.
I love me some Mrs Streep…she is a legendary actress man. She's always put 200% in her movies. She deserves every nomination from the academy.
I liked what she had to say to her husband.
She had to wait 29 years between her two win for lead actress, I think she deserved more.
She made everyone cry with this amazing speech
+ Abdo Esper she made everyone vomit with her hypocrisy

"I really understand I'll never be up here again..."
I noticed that when a great actress such as Meryl is appreciated they never are cocky or speak highly of themselves. I love it.
Her acting was actually superb in Doubt 2008, but the academy elevated Kate Winslet's nomination in The Reader for Best Actress, Both were good by the way and very deserving
Her latest nod was from August Osage County and was also very good. I really think she deserves more Oscars than the three she was given
I would thought that he year in which Kate Winslet won, it wasn´t right, becuse her sister Aloysious a monster good, but the reality is that Winslet´sAnna Schmidt was better. And last year the Academy was obviously going for fresh blood: I mean her Violet Weston or Violent(as she calls the character) was AMAZING!!
She should have won for Devil Wears Prada.
We are so lucky to have lived in the era of Meryl Streep.
When meryl streep speaks everybody listen.
"but whatever" that is the ultimate I know my worth and I am not afraid to share it
She doesn't look like she's in her 60s at all; not even her 40s or 50s.... I would think she's in her late 30s!! She looks amazing and she's such an incredible talent :)
+Kappa Pride Lol Right! That was a total reach!
+anjelheaven I think it's so amazing how uptight people get on the internet over a comment, especially a positive one. Carry on though. :)
jcr89 It's all good on my end, love. I thought the "Lols" used by me and the other individual were obvious signs that neither of us were being uptight. I still think you were reaching (and that's okay) but in no way was I being uptight or taking anything serious.
Corijuan Reese i thought she was in her late teens
Meryl is a year older than me. We were both cheerleaders on opposing teams in NJ.
Probably the best oscar speech ever!
so you only see this video...
The announcement and reaction is half the beauty of it. Why leave that out, particularly with Meryl Streep's long-awaited third Oscar?
What a heartwarming and touching speech! I hope she sticks around for a very long time after this and hopefully other young actresses will continue to aspire to achieve what she has done.
Like Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams, those two and Meryl are my favorites.
No one else can be like her.
What a beautiful Woman.
She is the hardest working actress in history. Deserves every award.
I love how she makes everyone in the audience cry xD
I'm in love with her....and im not gay...
My sentiments exactly!!!
All we love Meryl!
I love her. And I'm not straight!
jdearnray Thank you so much for your sincerity and comment, thank you, thank you, whatever
i love her and i'm really gay
Hey guys, you might consider reposting this with the lead in piece of him introducing the nominees and then announcing the winner. The lead in piece makes it more interesting.
Seconded!
i agree 100%. the greatest part of the introduction was Meryl yelling "what???" when her name was called.
Wow. That year was a toughie. Everyone was outstanding.
1. Meryl Streep - The Iron Lady
2. Viola Davis - The Help
3. Rooney Mara - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
4. Michelle Williams - My Week With Marilyn
5. Glenn Close - Albert Nobbs
Such a well deserved win. There was no contest. Playing a real person, two versions of a British accent, and an accurate portrayal of Alzheimer's. Though she really should have more than three Oscars. She should have also won for "A Cry in the Dark", "Adaptation", "Doubt" and "Julie and Julia".
I like it that she thanked John Cazale at the end there. Beautiful touch to a very heartfelt speech. Probably everyone who saw John's work misses him.
She's dressed just like the Oscar 🏆
She has won a thousand awards and she still gets emotional winning. That proves she's so humble, I love this woman so much.
Why "her again" ? I think for over 20 nominations she should have won even more than 3 oscars. She is so great!
Her speech made me cry. She spoke from her heart!
She is brilliant. I adore her. 6 years later she is nominated again! What a beautiful, humble, classy lady !
She waited 30 years for that 3rd one... she deserves more
WHERE ARE THE OTHER NOMINEES? WHERE'S THE RESPECT?
Please, put the complete video with all the stars!
might not be the best and you problay found it by now but... here is a link sorry if you already found it www.dailymotion.com/video/xp3cv1
I guess in a number of years we will hear "And the Meryl Gold goes to".
what must it be like to have born witness to and even been revered by so much of hollywood history. she is one of the greats
I think she has one more performance of a lifetime in her.
Who cares if Viola or Meryl deserved this win? They're good friends and both are EXTREMELY talented.
Viola reminds me of Meryl. BOTH So insanely talented!
To be honest, Glenn Close and Viola Davis impressed me much more that year
Yeah but meryl impressed the academy
Viola probably lost because 'The Help' really was an ensemble piece while Streep carried 'The Iron Lady' mostly on her own. I am glad that Viola would eventually win for 'Fences'.
Been watching Oscars for years now, and just realized that Meryl was the first one to thank all her colleagues and the friendship she formed... love her
I think she was astute enough to realize the odds of winning a fourth Oscar are very slim (in almost 100 years only one person has done it!) , so she wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge her gratitude for the extraordinary career she has had, and all the enduring friendships she made along the way.
She deserved it for this role, and so many others. But her most iconic performance of the last twenty years is no doubt “The Devil Wears Prada.”
What I love most about this Oscar moment is that Meryl really didn't expect to win that night. It came as a total surprise to her as you can see in the moment Colin Firth announces her name as the winner and she shays: ''What?'' with a total expression of confusion. I think she thought Viola Davis was going to win, as everybody was thinking. I like this surprises at the Academy Awards because in these last years the Oscars has been so predictable, I mean, today everyone knows who will win before the ceremony.
+Jefferson Borges But not this year, I guess. Best picture, probably The Revenant, but maybe Mad Max. Director is hopfeully George Miller.
Actor DiCaprio, Actress Larson, supporting actor Stallone, they are all pretty much locked, but supporting actress? I'm hoping for Winslet. :)
SAMLAJT
LOL! Yeh, only the leading actors. Such a shame for a person who has been an Oscar nerd for pretty much all his life. :) And I'm one of those who was happy for Rylance. Not so much for Vikander.
Everybody knew that Meryl would win, even her!! I think it was a bit of acting when she showed surprise. Her performance in "The Iron Lady" was unbeatable and I'm sure she really expected to win.
This is literally as on fucking point as a speech could be. She didn't do the typical name referencing, she made it count on a personal note. And if that's not the icing on her "inexplicably amazing" career, then I don't know what is.
Would it hurt to include the moment he reads the envelope???
i found the vedio when he does
@@shelbysanders2167 produce it goat
She is an amazing actress she deserves everyone she has
Meryl Streep is herself an Oscar.
time to prepare your new speech.. 20th Nomination and 4th Oscar Coming up!
She'll be lucky to get nominated for FFJ tbh. Would love for her to get nominated but I highly doubt she will win for it.
:(
Rina Ramos that's right!
Seth Johnson
I think she will.
She'll likely get nominated but that's nowhere near her best role, and even so she fucking killed it.
I think she'll score a 20th -OMG! - and win in a couple of years' time. It'd be the best thing ever!!!!
What a joy to be alive while she is performing. For a person who understands just a tad bit of acting, Maryl is on another level. She adopts any character and takes it one notch above.
She melted into Margaret Thatcher.
I think she is a wonderful human beeing and a great actress...if not the greatest actress of our time...
With the world wanting to know every aspect of my personal life I'd be bitchy too. To many people that speak so highly of her she can't be that horrible a person. Maybe your friend was a punk kid and meryl didn't put up with the Bullshit.
A A Meryl Streep is a bitch? Lol, best joke I've hear so far!
A A that may have just been one bad experience, she is known for being sweet and kind to everyone she meets.
Everyone always stands up for Queen Meryl :)
WTF? Why cut out the entire announcement? That's the best part. I love to revisit actors' expressions when the winner is called out.
I love Meryl Streep but I think something goes wrong with Glenn Close. She's one of the greatest actresses ever and they refuse to give her the Oscar year after year. I think it's not fair.
Can't agree more, Glenn Close is so talented!
This should have been her year. Admittedly she should have had one for Fatal Attraction, but this Oscar should have been hers. I don't know what the academy is against Glenn Close, but she best win an Oscar soon. She's more than earned one.
Wow you can see the whole audience is captivated when she speaks, she has all of their full attention and awe
I love her. I am going to work with her someday
We are going to work with her one day ;)
Well she's in her mid 60's my friend! You best start bustin ass if you aren't already, and make a name for yourself! THEN you might have a chance of working with her before retirement.:-D Trying to be realistic; sorry if I came across like an ass. :-D
If you work hard enough, you can be the one who digs her grave (she's pretty old you know)
I love how two of the greatest actors today, Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett are married to their husbands for decades. No marriage drama, their marriage remains private and they are still going strong.
Thanks for your comments
🤍🤍🤍
Always a good idea to marry your husband.
That’s one of the best speeches. Funny, sweet and concise. Every speech needs to be that way at the Oscars.
I honestly think that she doesn't even care if she wins or not. We all know that she's the most perfectionist in any artistic attempts. Good lord this woman could play my mother and i could believe her. Personally she doesn't need another oscar to prove that she's mega talented and super great. She's a pure genius.
She is probably the most talented actress of last time ☝🏻😍☺️
She is the queen of Hollywood. QUEEN!!!
her first best actress speech was sooo humble and nervous. and now she owns it all
She's so real and authentic. She digs into her soul to act. Thats what people feel when she's acting. And furthermore also when she goces a speech. Totally authentic
She's one of a kind ...... it was so moving !! she deserves it soooo much ... so down to earth so relatable .. she 's really apart in this industry !!
She was talking about John Cazale when she was mentioning the "departed".
Nora Ephron
Not only Cazale. Do see the clip when she received the golden bear, she thanked Joe Papp, Alan Pakula and many other, because she felt that she gets all the glory however there were so many people that worked for that to happen
Isabel Gandarillas True she always refers about all this fabulous people , but you got to admit that Cazale left a BIG mark in her heart, probably the BIGGEST
That dress only makes her win all the more iconic
It's a rare and magnificent thing when you remain organically heartfelt and sincere at the moment you are being catapulted to sublime honor.
She is just such a class act with just the perfect amount of tongue in cheek humor...I love her. I bet this next year we will see a 20th nomination and for that I think some sort of life time achievement award should be given
Please give this woman an Oscar every year.
@theacademy Please reupload this video with the entire thing, the best part is when they announce the winner!!!! I mean queen Meryl deserves her full category uploaded!
Her tribute to her makeup artist is exactly why she's so beloved by the industry.
Congratulations huge fan for your Devil Wears Prada. You look familiar.
She's something else! Pure talent...pure class...pure elegance...pure excellence! Acting royalty!
I wish....
I could see her expressions while announcement
It's a million dollar expression
I wish that before she retires or something; she gets at least more Oscars than Ms Katharine Hepburn (who has 4). They are the goddesses of acting holy crap!
