I was pretty shocked when she said that. Not to say all artists are like that, but many seem to be very arrogant. Only their art is art. Which is why I don't even like to date some fellow artists, many of them are out of touch with reality, many of them look down on others!

I think Streep is a great actress, I will never change my opinion about this. I do not think she is overrated. I think she is great. But seriously? she can express her opinion about Trump without saying stupid things about martial art. I am not a fan of martial art, but it is like me saying, I am a fine artist, and graphic artists are not artists!

Pretty stupid remark if you ask me.
Thank you. I'd agree with this. She is a great actress, she is very very rich.

She is shocked that Hillary lost, she hates Trump, and those who voted for him. She's probably disappointed at those who didn't vote for Hillary, but probably hates or dispises the deplorables.

Should we blame her though? Should we blame her for worshipping the Press? Anymore than we should blame a victim of an exposed cult like Scientology? Allegedly?

It's my understanding that the situation up in Chicago where the kid got terrorized for 6 hours by 4 punks, slashed, punched, made to drink toilet water for being white and like Trump, isn't their fault.

It's not.

It's Meryl Streep's fault. It really is.

I didn't even watch the stupid Golden Globes last night, nor her last 50 flicks, but I'm going to be forced to watch it again and again and again, along with Israel Isis Terrorism, 5 years old Isis murderers, the Fort Lauderdale murderer, and poor Reno with this storm blasting through.

I never said it wasn't.

I said it is not considered THE arts. Which it is not.

It is a sport.

I didn't watch nor have any clue, or care, as to her comments.

Plenty of things to be upset about in this world. A free person's opinion is not one, for me.

Oh boy, are YOU ever misinformed.

Typical lefty ignorance, though. I'm not surprised. /SMH

I don't think anybody made up definition here.

Here is the debate

Are sports forms of art? | Debate.org

If you don't think sport is art, then fine. we can always agree to disagree.

There is no doubt sport is not the same art form as music, and fine arts, but sports can be viewed as some form of arts. If you don't agree, that is fine too.

Of course it's their fault, and they're being held responsible.

Why would you think it wasn't their fault?

BTW, you all get this outraged about the dreadful and very similar hazing incidents that go on in many American institutions, right? Some victims of that die. It's all disgusting.

Anyway, we do digress, that incident has zero to do with Meryl Streep's speech.

He has no direct bearing on poor Meryl's life. She has other things she can think about but she chooses a big night when she should be having fun to obsess over Donald once again. It really is sad what has become of these people.

I haven't watched a Hollywood awards show in probably 20 years, wouldn't even occur to me to watch it. These people mean nothing to me. They do what they do for a living and I do what I do. I couldn't care less what they think about anything. I appreciate the job they do..especially people like Clint Eastwood who BTW doesn't say stupid garbage in public.

So again, grow up, get over it and move on.
These Award shows are idol worship to egomaniacs by liberals who have no life.

It's like they are at church and someone has to get up and give the approved eulogy. You knew it was coming. You knew that she just couldn't go up there and stay on the topic of entertainment and maybe discuss the performance by some wonderful young actror/actress.

No, right to the politics. Pathetic.
