The same Meryl Streep who has been nominated for more Academy Award nominations than anyone in the movie business.
The 74th annual Golden Globes took place in Beverly Hills on Sunday night and of the many standout moments from the ceremony, Meryl Streep’s speech was the one everyone was talking about afterwards.

Quite a claim to make of a woman who has three Oscars wins and a further 16 nominations over a stellar career lasting four decades.
Seen Deer Hunter lately, Donald?
