Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes Speech Takes Aim At Donald Trump (Video)
|
If you were watching the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, then you likely caught actress Meryl Streep‘s acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award, an honorary award given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to a performer for their “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.” The 67-year-old, three-time Oscar-winning actress used her time on stage to address concerns about Donald J. Trump without actually naming the U.S. President-Elect.
Streep, who’s voiced was strained from “screaming and lamentation this weekend,” she said, referring to the memorial she attended for actresses Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, made her first allusion to Trump and his incoming regime after thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: “You [HFPA] and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press.”
Watch the full acceptance speech here below.

If this election cycle is driving you insane, take a break from the seriousness of it and enjoy Undecided: The Movie. Directed by Julio DePietro and co-written by the director and stars Jason Selvig & Davram Stiefler, Undecided is an assault on the general insanity the 2016 election is causing all over the nation. Filmed as part mockumentary, part improv prank show, the film is about two losers, John (Selvig) and Dan (Stiefler) who are, as the title suggests, undecided voters. They are chosen for a reality show where they will travel around from caucus to convention meeting, greeting and offending candidates along the way. After watching the film earlier this week, I got a chance to speak to both stars just a few days before the Presidential election.
Check out the interview below.

“It was weird to shoot a gun near Rick Santorum because I’ve never shot one before and no one asked who I was.”
Imagine if Impractical Jokers-style prankers took on modern politics and attended campaign rallies throughout the most divisive election year in American history. Well stop imagining, because it’s here. Shot as a Spinal Tap-style mockumentary, Undecided: The Movie was co-written by Julio DePietro, Jason Selvig, and Davram Stiefler, and stars Selvig and Stiefler as two shnooks chosen to be on a reality show where they try to find a candidate to back in the 2016 election. What follows is nearly 90 minutes of “OMG” moments, pure insanity, and legitimately funny and insightful political commentary.
