Meryl Streep right after she won Best Actress for The Iron Lady
Last year I remember how poised Meryl Streep was when she accepted the best actress award, and she walked offstage, and of course she was just very graceful and very elegant, as you expect Meryl Streep to be. And then as the lights went down and they went to a commercial — and this is toward the end of the show — she was just overcome with emotion. And you wouldn’t expect that. … You’d think, ‘Oh, she’s been to the rodeo a number of times. Meryl can handle it.’
She just asked for a chair, and she just sat in, you know, a little plastic chair right off of the curtain, just sat there and, like, took a moment. Kind of gathered her thoughts, took a breath, watched the rest of the show. And then she was graceful and happy and Meryl again — but it was just kind of interesting to see that. (✗)
I came here to take my son home. And I realized he already is home.
