Meryl Streep accepts Coolidge Award

[ShelbyLouhoo]

oh holy shit i adore her.

but yes, she is wasted.

classy and wasted.

its wonderful.

[Natasha249]

"How about this seats people?! I'm definitely kickig in" haha. That was awesome!

[thewomaninthemoon]

She's so drunk oops I mean funny.Haha!Love you,Meryl.

[MoxlovexgalNY]

REPEATx3

[MoxlovexgalNY]

@sheboxer18 they were basically crappy seats so she wuz informing the people tht they need to give money to fix them. ;)

[bimb0cool]

wow Meryl is so gorgeous!

[meryldepp]

'I know I'm not the only person who has to pee sooooo bad!' hahaha Meryl you're an example for all of us..

[Angefied]

hah, i really doubt she'd been drinking, she puts on that "funny persona" where she sounds a bit tipsy just to be funny (and it sure is)

Watch her acceptance speech for...Golden Globes i think? She says "You know sometimes I myself think i'm overrated....But not todayyyyyy"

That was funny xD

[sheboxer18]

Help!!!!!!!!! I did not get the part where she says, "and how bout these seats people"@ 3:11. whats was that all about

[SimplyStreepxo]

one of the funniest sppeches shes given

[XxlovemerylstreepxX]

No she's not drunken there she is just funny and tells the truth one of my fav meryl speeches ever

[meavus6]

drunk as a skunk babyyy

[fhebbert]

Meryl means the seats in the theatre are poor, and she's definitely kicking in with contributions to fix THAT

[ilovemerylstreep73]

dont think she is dung, maby little but if i was drung, i wills say smthing like this: uh...ye..l...lalala..dutchc..i­ch..sjik,...oh...and i wills sleep

[XxGabexXxxxx]

Omg, if she was drinking, i think she spoke very well! And i love her. I want to get drink with Meryl!!!!(when i will be older)

[ThePopsy2]

My favourite Meryl vid ever, but what does kicking in for the seats mean? anyone?

[akdnl]

Thank God for Meryl! She's the greatest!!! ♥

[mikee810]

HA! I don't know what the line about the seats is all about or what she means by "kicking it" but it was funny nonetheless! And I'm sorry, but she's obviously at least mildly tipsy I mean, why do you think she has to pee so badly? She's been drinking! Right? Come on... God love her... she's the best.

[staceywarner]

u rekon... lol shes drunk lol :)

[fairydustem]

she seems very different here than usual. her voice is different too

[unika542]

i love it when she talked about don gummer and the thing of being married for 27 years was fun ..... oh god i just love her

[BullDawgGrad2011]

Meryl Streep Sauced thats Priceless... Boy would i love to get sloshed silly with meryl lol! Meryl is so awesome :) funny speech

[p8alan]

Meryl is always sooo funny and i think she just tries not to be a boring speaker cause we all hate that and she knows it LOVE her

[TheAnnii100]

^^.............??

[bear1989s]

She is not tipsy at all...if she had been, the line about "the seats" would not have come so easily, or well-timed. Meryl is a trip--dignified most of the time, but hey, when she recognizes the need to---pee--she can play tipsy and say whatever she wants to, and pull it off...priceless--thank you for posting!

[aqualiz]

lol Meryl...  a little tipsy perhaps? I love her sooooo much! lol <3

[princess0fparadise]

this my favorite vid with meryl!!! i would love to have some cocktails with her, she is just hillarious! i`m wondering what she would say if someone shows her that she "acted" obviously drunk. but maybe that is the point and she is just pretending to be drunk. although i don`t think that, because her eyes are really red and glassy! love her sooooo much, thanks for having you on earth to inspire a whole generation

[Kirstyyyy1993]

haha Meryl is so funny!!! i would so love to have a few drinks with her lol:)

Love you Meryl

<3 xx

[bery237]

Did she drink? :D

God Good... :D

[annavissiqueen]

I can't believe she said that she has to pee! :D

And I love that reaction for her marriage! XD

No, really, Meryl is the goddess! What else? She's so magnificent, and yet so normal... She's really the best, the smartest... everything in superlative form...public person! I think there's no person who saw her life & work that can say she's not the best and that doesn't love her!

God bless you Meryl 'cause you're simply YOU! <3

[meavus6]

this is actually hillari0us... love you meryl.x

[artsy24]

Such a GREAT PERSON! I love her! She even makes "drunk" look good. God, what an actress!

[gracebrown01]

[ThePerfectionistDK]

She is simply one of the lights of this world... I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT GETTING paied..

[eilidh28]

[MeryisGod]

[JoolkaJF]

Part3:

that's why i'm married for 27 years and uh I just want to say to my friends who were roped into this really. thank you so much, i feel like i'm just this little appliance that plugs into the house current and then we all do that and it all lights upall buzzes along for a while until its over. i love my friends my actors so much, i cant even talk about it how much i love these fellas that i work

[JoolkaJF]

Ok, thanks to wonderful Heather I got the text of that speech! Thank you, Heather! :*

"oh my God. I know I'm not the only person that has to pee so bad. So, I'll make these remarks brief. Uh, oh my God, you know. It's like the Mark Twain experience. They should just lay me out right now. when that does happen it'll repeat because Maude Streep is here filming this evening. and she can just play that at the funeral and i would be so happy. and there would be no surprises from my

[JoolkaJF]

[Gellarfan666]

[freaky012]

[wisetraveller]

[SaraEdelstein]

Geez, she's a little tipsy, isn't she? And... does she say that she has to pee...? :D Hilarious, though...

[freaky012]

[nadaquefazer]

[MerylManiac]

[Chelsea69Chaotic]

even when drunk,she still is so graceful,when looking at her facial expressions & such :)

[ahcutie19]

aahhhh i love her. lol i have no idea what she is talking about for the first minute and a half. lmao

[sarahmorden]

"and then they all moved to ny and they got an appartment with joe...." its funny she just rambles on hahahha love it best acceptance speech and if everyone drinks b4 a speech then they all would be funny like thiss

[DreamToBeXx]

A witty woman. Very classy and funny. Love her in movies, making speeches..- an interesting intellectual and a beautiful woman. To emphasise what beauty is all about: Who would you rather have lunch with Meryl or Paris Hilton..?

[Kellyrowan15]

my god she is so funny...I love this woman.

[dsprt25]

hahahah this is her best acceptance speech, by far. Meryl actually is even more charming when she's tipsy. love it.

[liamjpsh]

in vino veritas!! she is so funny and witty and smart. i love her!!!

[malindagray]

OMG How Cute.

Who cares if shed been

=]

Best Meryl Moment lol

x

[QueerSwede]

hahahahaha adore her!

[ConniebRoxMajorly]

what in the name of god is she talking about for the first like minute and a half....lmao...shes rambling and its great!!!

[pandesal1977]

My favorite parts:

"That's why I'm married. For 27 years!" Bangs head on the podium.

"How 'bout these seats people?!"

Love you, Meryl!

[emz4breehodge]

Have to pee so bad! lmfao

[Char6399]

I don't thinks there is a big chance, that she is drunk. Who would show up at a "award" drunk? Whoever does, Meryl's not one of them.

[sarahmorden]

if shes not drunk shes tipsy no one does that on purpose.... she like went behind the podium

[hollywearsprada]

I don't think she showed up drunk. She probably just drank a lot of wine throughout the evening. She gets nervous before she speaks and has said that she usually has something to drink before she has to make a speech. She probably just had a couple glasses of wine and is a bit tipsy.

[hollywearsprada]

omg she's the cutest drunk ever! just like me! rambles about nothing and then nearly cries telling everyone I love them!

LOVE MERYL!

[sarahmorden]

hahha thats sooo funny shes drunk!!:P

[karensilkwood]

oh she is :D and she is so funny and cute.

god i love her. :D

[Tigerlily21]

I love the fact that Meryl drinks like me. Probably not excessively but just to unwind. I bet she'd be a fun drinking buddy! ha ha!

[matilde798000]

she's DRUNK! OH gOd! see the colour of her face ? and how she claps her hands!

but still, even the best actors have bloopers..........luv u meryl!

:3

[kimedes007]

if meryl is not drunk in her guestings... can u just imagine how she's like when she is? hehehe! outrageous!

[groovyjedda]

although I didn't get some of this but it's very funny this woman is amazing ...

any one can write the whole speech ? I'll be so gratefull !

[babyV514]

LOL...this made me laugh SOOO much.

"I know I'm not the only one who has to pee sooooo bad."

[khtx]

Do exist a "translation" of this? I mean her speech in english - is it posted on a meryl site or anywhere?? Wanna understand every joke she made

[honeyhoney1992]

in which language?

[electrostrike]

wonderful! shes so damn funny haha

[dsprt25]

oh this is pure love. <3

"Charlie, I think.. you know. Probably sold another script to Altman, from tonight's performance."

HAHAHA =D

[karensilkwood]

shes funny, shes a little bit crazy sometimes, shes sweet, shes amazing and i loooove her. i think shes maybe a litte tipsy

[lerenna]

omg. she's drunk, see her clapping her hands :). But i think she love's joking about all the awards she gets.

Still love her!

[cherylin91]

she is Meryl and she can be very very silly sometimes!

[glenn212now]

HILARIOUS. She is incapable of being boring.

[laurahcb]

you think she is just acting? or she is just being normal.. well... omg!!! she is really really really gud!!! love her so much!!!!

[RAQDES]

very witty

[lilynette]

Oh yes she is sooo drunk... love her still

[Inky37]

she's not drunk, just a bit tipsy which is normal. i love this video. she's so cute in it.

[Gikah]

[VKI82]

[dayweletgo]

hahaha maybe? She said she had to pee SO bad...
