2. Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep was honored at the Globes with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for Lifetime Achievement. She was presented with a beautiful speech from Viola Davis and then went to the stage to give a moving speech of her own. It covered the diversity of Hollywood, criticized the president-elect, and called for protection of the press. Her speech was so eloquent and poignant that it’s difficult to even sum up, but she touched on the responsibility of “the act of empathy” and how it is a privilege.
