She practically deserves another AFI for her body of work after 2004 alone. She has given some of her career best performance after that year to present.
She has such grace and is so humble. My favorite line in Meryl's speech: "I wish I was her, I really do." She melts my heart and always lifts my spirit. The reigning queen of American cinema. I look forward to watching her accept Oscar #4 sometime in the future.
As much as l understood that all people who spoke about her they said the best things for her and she kind of made joke for herself that she wants to be like herself.
It's so cute what she says "I hope it's not the end." So this was in 2004, after that she made The Devil Wears Prada which made her a box-office success, and then Doubt, Mamma mia!, Julie and Julia, It's Complicated, hit after hit, an Oscar for The Iron Lady, and then Into the Woods, August: Osage County... She is unique in movie history. That's all.
She is class, sophistication, grace, beauty, and just about every positive thing you can say about a woman and an actress. She is truly what every serious female actress in Hollywood should strive to emulate.
I love her my two favorites Sophie's Choice and The Bridges of Madison County. I made my daughters watch it with me . Who wants to watch a movie about some bridges ? Needless to say we were passing around the Kleenex before the movie was over . What a gift she is to all of us
I like how AFI gives these awards to such great talents. So many wonderful female actresses of our times. Meryl is definitely one of them and what an illustrious career she's had. I would love to see her and Barbra Streisand in a film together. Class act she is. Love her entrance to the stage and on the podium. When you're passionate about what you do, you remember your craft is all for the people to behold. Dramatic flair, humor timings, and a humble character. She's so in awe that we can't help but root for her more.
Oh Meryl...so naturally funny. Thanking her parents for everything she knows about drama...a short gap before the applause...made it funnier...I love you Meryl!!!
"When a great actor occurs, it changes several generations because human behavior is redefined. For other actors, Meryl is not only a life-giving force for those lucky enough to act with her, since it immediately increases one’s talent a thousand percent simply to look at her in a scene. But she also defines what is possible for an actor as an artist… as a parent… as a citizen. Meryl creates, has created and continues to create a series of unique human beings, each with a soul. Sometimes as many as four people at a time. That is something for artists to aim at. Never ever has Meryl Streep come on a set for a day’s work without giving the strong feeling, like a kid in a play in school: “Oh boy, I get to do this again.” Oh boy Meryl, we get to watch you some more!"
That can't happen before she wins a fourth Oscar;) She must at least tie Hepburn, who was sublime but didn't sing, dance and nail other real people. Meryl is the best actress to have ever lived❤️
What's so good about Meryl is that she is such a regular gal. She is so funny without trying to be funny which just makes her remarks that much funnier. We exalt such foolery and bullshit these days. I'm all for a annual Meryl Streep Rocks Day to balance the universe. Hell why not?!
I wouldn't want to live in a world without Meryl Streep. I think I'd mourn her passing more than I'd do any of my relatives. And we're a very close-knit family.
You can see how much love, respect and admiration her collegues have for her, they cant hide it. A beauty of a woman. Inside and out... only two artist so far in my life managed to touch me so deeply: Meryl Streep and Amy Winehouse. Two very different yet so emotinaly raw women.
They all LOVE her. It's pretty amazing how much they all love her. And there is no one who deserves it more. Amazing actress, amazing person... There is no one better than Meryl Streep.
00:35 The kiss given to Clint Eastwood made me melt. When you get this from Meryl Streep, you get the best thanks she can give you. An incredible, legendary and unique woman. I love her 😍
The opening music while she passed Jack, Diane, Clint... Just made it more epic. Bless you Meryl, greatest actress in history hands down. And adorable human, too!
Her random, unrehersed speeches show just how genuine she is. And how much of a talented actress she is. If she can't put together the words in everyday life (as in a speech), and then you watch her on screen....a perfectly tuned instrument. She's a true American treasure.
I watched how her colleagues in the industry looked at her with such love and admiration, and seemed to be waiting what she would say next. It's a testament to how much she is revered and held in great esteem by them. Meryl is unbelievable: iconic yet so real, so human, so humble, so funny! It's my dream to meet and interview her in person and write a feature article on it. How do I get to watch all her movies? We need more people like her to colour our world. God bless you, Meryl! I love you!
She is the best actress in the whole world, and i think she'll be the best actress of all time!!! Thank you so much for uploading this videos for ones who haven't watched them!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! From Argentina, with all my heart, thank you!
Impossible not to love HER! Meryl Streep is AMAZING! She seems to be not only a great and talented actress, but a wonderful human being. I wish I could meet her one day! =D
What a classy, super intelligent, funny, warm, deep, talented, beautiful, radiant woman! She is so unique and special. I don't think that I'll ever see anyone like her in my lifetime.
I think the world is blessed she chose to share her talents with us, I wish I knew her personally as believe she’s probably as a good of a person as she is actress.
well it is so well deserved and the fact that shes oneof the few women who have gotten this says it all and she should be so proud no matter what Meryl's the best
And imagine having a whole room filled with your friends, family, work associates, and all these actors whom of which some are the greatest in the business giving you a standing ovation like at 5:14, that would be simply amazing. To live that moment, Meryl Streep deserves it.
I love Meryl's speach! it's wonderful! and I'm sure her mom and dad is watching over her and are so proud of her daughter! she's just so amazing, such a lovley woman with so much talent! and look at Grace, she got tears of what her mom told about her grandma and grandpa, aw that is cute! Meryl's family is wonderful! their such a lovley family who loves each other so much, you can really see that! GOD BLESS MERYL!!
What a beautiful, wonderful and genuine woman! I love her! Shes just such an amazing person and such an amazing actress! I love her movies! My favourite actress! :)
It is now apparent why Dustin Hoffman wasn't present at the AFI tribute. Based upon excerpts from the new book about Streep in Vanity Fair, Hoffman treated Streep badly during the filming of Kramer Vs. Kramer. They both won Oscars, but Hoffman was notorious for being a royal pain in the ass towards his co-stars, particularly if they didn't have the juice to fight back.
Just look at what she has done since this tribute! It's Complicated (2009) Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) (voice) Julie & Julia (2009) Doubt (2008) Mamma Mia! (2008) Lions for Lambs (2007) Rendition (2007) Evening (2007) Dark Matter (2007) The Ant Bully (2006) (voice) The Devil Wears Prada (2006) The Music of Regret (2006) A Prairie Home Companion (2006) Prime (2005)
and nearly 8 years on from this award, she is still an amazing actress and still getting recognized in her movies, with more awards and nominations. great job. Best Actress Ever Meryl!! she could be really arrogant about the fact she gets nominations/awards for nearly every role (it seems) she plays. but she still seems humble and so grateful for being able to act as a job. that is the best thing about her.
I think actors feel understood mostly by their own kind. They are very special people, like chameleons, very sensitive and extroverted. It was lovely to see the human side of Meryl. What an actress!
I think i have seen out of africa 300 times all meryls movies are fantastic in there own way she makes the movie a winer and makes me dream or love or cry or sing or dance but over all fill greay T Mo
Without a doubt the best actress that ever lived. Jack is the best actor that ever lived and Meryl the best actress. It is so sad that there aren't any great movies like that made in the 21st century. So sad!!

even her children are tearing of laughter, she must be a cool mom
Not must she is
She practically deserves another AFI for her body of work after 2004 alone. She has given some of her career best performance after that year to present.
My thoughts exactly! she's a real thing
Classic Meryl Streep. She said very little but made the audience feel EVERYTHING she felt. She doesn't even have to speak!
She has such grace and is so humble. My favorite line in Meryl's speech: "I wish I was her, I really do." She melts my heart and always lifts my spirit. The reigning queen of American cinema. I look forward to watching her accept Oscar #4 sometime in the future.
Jd Hunter i didn‘t really get what this should mean? Can you explain?
As much as l understood that all people who spoke about her they said the best things for her and she kind of made joke for herself that she wants to be like herself.
It's so cute what she says "I hope it's not the end."

She is unique in movie history. That's all.
That's all made me lose a little tear :)
Awww. :)
Same here! She'll go on to win a fourth Oscar.
It's unbelievable how talented and delightful she is:) I love her I love her I love her!
it shows that she did not get complacent. someone like me would have just done paycheck movies or retire after getting a lifetime achievement award
Gábor Vág Indeed. But she really was a frontrunner at that. By then that could very well have Been it for Her. Her career really is one of a kind
She literally made me cry! There can never be another great actress on this planet as you! God bless you
If I could ever pick one person to look up to in my life, ever, it'd be you, Meryl. You're the epitome of a gorgeous, angelic, fantastic human being.
She is class, sophistication, grace, beauty, and just about every positive thing you can say about a woman and an actress. She is truly what every serious female actress in Hollywood should strive to emulate.
und das ganz ohne beauty-OP´s mit einer krummen, großen Nase!
That look on her face when she say's thank you Don for your GORGEOUS.......DNA. Damn this woman is so amazing.
Hamna Khan it's so naughty. It gets me every time.
Hamna Khan she wanted to say “ your sexy ass”
Isaac Mizrahi for the dress....He's not dead!!!
She is one great actress and a VERY CLASSY WOMAN...LOVE HER...
Amera willighagen o solo mio live with patrizio buanethWil Andersen aa-
can't we just do this every year?!?! i heart meryl
I love her my two favorites Sophie's Choice and The Bridges of Madison County. I made my daughters watch it with me . Who wants to watch a movie about some bridges ? Needless to say we were passing around the Kleenex before the movie was over . What a gift she is to all of us
The funniest part I think is that we do in fact, at every award ceremony where she wins an award ^^
The goddess of acting.

Classiest and most talented artist of our time...and what a singer! Love her.
I applauded in my home as I watched & listened. She brought my 96 year old mom many happy movie moments. I’m forever grateful.🙏
My two favorite women Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton.....and Meryl kissed Diane's hand...it's so awesome to see...lots of love from India
Certainly and thankfully wasn't the end...to just think of the movies she made since 2004...just WOW, what a truly awesome actress!
She's earned it. Bless you, Meryl.
Never will get tired of this video, been loving her for a few years, everybody should look up to somebody like her. My role model.
Oh Meryl...so naturally funny. Thanking her parents for everything she knows about drama...a short gap before the applause...made it funnier...I love you Meryl!!!
She honored her parents 👏thats says much of her .
I couldn't live this woman more.
What a never ending inspiration♥️

They should just honor her again at this point or just give her an honorary Oscar for every performance. Either would be suitable.
That can't happen before she wins a fourth Oscar;)
She must at least tie Hepburn, who was sublime but didn't sing, dance and nail other real people.
Meryl is the best actress to have ever lived❤️
@@PatriCoop Meryl honestly is !
What's so good about Meryl is that she is such a regular gal. She is so funny without trying to be funny which just makes her remarks that much funnier. We exalt such foolery and bullshit these days. I'm all for a annual Meryl Streep Rocks Day to balance the universe. Hell why not?!
Y u talking bout urself
YEAH!
Meryl Streep Day is the 27th May 😍
I wouldn't want to live in a world without Meryl Streep. I think I'd mourn her passing more than I'd do any of my relatives. And we're a very close-knit family.
Even when she is not acting.... as in her speech here.... she commands the stage and is so perfect.
I nearly cried when she thanked her parents...and then she made me laugh. What a lovely, talented lady, what a beautiful, wonderful person.
Meryl Streep, the best actress of Hollywood's modern times and the best of her generation. You are awesome and amazing.
Already ten years ago. Can we still have those excellence?
Now 20
You can see how much love, respect and admiration her collegues have for her, they cant hide it. A beauty of a woman. Inside and out... only two artist so far in my life managed to touch me so deeply: Meryl Streep and Amy Winehouse. Two very different yet so emotinaly raw women.
It’s 2018 and I’m here watching over 10 year old videos, just praying she’ll live for ever.
She is amazingly wonderful. I could listen to her speak all day long.
I just love this woman more than anything, she’s the best person to look up to!
Her rhetoric is always so sincere and candid but never boring.
Pure Class...Love You, Meryl
Meryl is such a wonderful human being
her personality is overwhelming beautiful just like she is and her talent has no bounds! i find her absolutely incredible to watch!
They all LOVE her. It's pretty amazing how much they all love her. And there is no one who deserves it more. Amazing actress, amazing person... There is no one better than Meryl Streep.
2:29 love how she acknowledges Catherine O’Hara. I always thought they could be sisters.
She is the one that make us shed tears of happiness.
Wow she is just amazing,I love her so much.She definitely deserved this.And I love what she's wearing,she is just STUNNING!
It's impossible to know whether she's acting or not.. THAT'S HOW GOOD SHE IS!!!
00:35 The kiss given to Clint Eastwood made me melt.

I think the world is blessed she chose to share her talents with us, I wish I knew her personally as believe she’s probably as a good of a person as she is actress.
In my opinion, what's just as great as her acting chops, is her speeches.
We are all blessed to have this delight of
a human being ... Meryl... on this planet
Not just a great actress, but one of the best speech givers EVER!

Always the best starting of every speech
Meryl Forever in MY HEART!!

The bit about her parents fighting for years and admitting where she got her dramas... that was witty and honest.

So beautiful 😊 I ❤️ love this awesome lady
Drunk Meryl. Lol.
Amazing actress.
Oh, well... She "looks" drunk then. Lol (She is so cute though).
Drunk Meryl is my favourite!! She's not really drunk here but the pictures from the after party are a lot
She's just amazing
She gives a great speech, moreso in her expression rather than in her words. You can just see her appreciation in her attitude.
I am yet to see an actress/person so true... Love you Meryl, you are special
what a beauty..... what grace...... what an actress.... Take a bow Madam
