I stayed up way later than my usual 9 PM bedtime to watch the Golden Globes because I like watching the golden globes. I also catch up on the movies I did not see and TV programs I have never heard of.
Ms. Strep is a free citizen and has a right to state her opinions just as the current crop of Trumpets.
...and them Trumpets played loud & clear on election day.
Vince Vaughn stated that the medic in Hacksaw Ridge was the 1st conscience objector to receive the CMH I beg to differ it was Sgt. York in WW1.He was a crack shot who with his skill and his rifle to save the lives of his follow soldiers by killing the enemy invoking fear in them...another great Gary Cooper movie!
Roman Polanski was CONVICTED of drugging and sodomizing that 13-year-old girl and then took off to another country to avoid going to prison.
You know, you're right. I realized that shortly after I typed it.
He cannot return to the US. I sometimes forget that, since I was a little kid at the time and not as old as some of the posters here on this forum.
I don't agree with him having fled prison, no.
So, if he'd stayed here, gone to prison, and been released for good behavior or the like, would her standing up still have been terrible?
I mean, if he'd paid his debt to society and all that?
For all I know, he just needed mental help. His wife was murdered so brutally that people still talk about the horrors of it to this day.
I dunno... is this really even relevant to Meryl Streep's speech last night, anyway?
If she'd stood up and talked about what an great guy Trump is, would his supporters be talking about what a hell of a gal she is now?
I do not know, but I suspect so.
ETA: I gave up and Googled. He fled the US prior to sentencing because he thought he was getting probation and it looked like he might serve time. Anyway... that was a long time ago. I'm not a big fan of his either way.

It is the truth and Trump cannot deny that he mocked that disabled reporter. Hello Technology, Donald? Anyone with a computer can Goggle it and watch the video where he mocked that reporter.
Any parent of a disabled child should have been horrified to see this, as for those of us who have worked with disabled children and adults. We are not all "perfect" human beings (Volk) like Mr. Dtrump is. There is NO SHAME in that in being an imperfect human being, unlike "The Donald" is.
Get used to this, Mr. Trump. There is 1st Amendment rights, media and private citizens, to speak their mind, especially when it can be backed up with the "Video Tape". Does President Trump plan on repealing Free Speech too?
Maybe you should google more diligently. Streep NEVER mentioned Trump's name last night.
And yes, Streep gave Polanski a standing ovation. He's a talented director. As a person, he's a douche, but professionally he's very accomplished. As a fellow artist, she's allowed to acknowledge how accomplished he is. Because, free speech. And if the only thing you have to criticize Streep for is that she acknowledges that Polanski is a talented director, something that he's received many accolades for, then perhaps your criticism of Streep is misplaced.
So you are saying that the news reports are lying that report that she was referring to Trump, and that when she mentioned mocking a disabled reporter , along with whatever else she said , she was not referring to Trump?
And who cares how talented a director he was ? Are you one of those that thinks talent in a certain area makes bad and/or criminal behavior OK ? What if Polanski was buggering little boys? Still OK to give him a standing O based on his artistic talent, and THEN those same people criticize the morals of another person, even when that person is a douche , as Trump is ?
...why didn't she use her platform to say anything about the handicap person who was held hostage for two days and forced to drink toilet water by 4 blacks? Why can't she use it for that?
I also don't remember her using her "star power" to talk about this one:

Hold on now.
We are dealing with the present, not something that happened 40 years ago.
If we have to go off the rails about Roman Polanski, can we hop back to the 1990s and talk about how Trump molested his business partner's wife, but was wealthier than them, so they could never afford to stick it to him in court?
Because that poor woman looks very disturbed over what happened to her and it was wayyyy more recent than Roman Polanski's crime, which his victim has LONG forgiven him for committing.
Plus... we didn't elect Polanski PRESIDENT, did we?

When you drug and sodomize a little girl, she was 13 for goodness sake and he was 42, I'll never let it go.
I dont understand how anybody could give a standing ovation to a man who, at 42, did that to a little girl.
Yes actually he did. Anyone with eyes & ears that function know it to be true, it's on video for all eternity. Living in an alternate reality does not change that fact.
This. Exactly.
..........next OP will be saying Trump was never on a bus with Billy Bush.
I would be concerned if you actually believed this.
While not expressly confirming or denying the assertion, I will say that when a poorly worded turn of phrase presents an opportunity, I often find myself hard-pressed to resist the temptation for riposte.
trump clearly stated "poor guy, you should see this guy.." before curling his hand similar to kovaleski's disability.
as for trump's claim that he's never mocked a person's handicap, when criticized by charles krauthammer trump mocked him as " a guy that can't buy pants". krauthammer is paralyzed from the waist down.
plus trump's claim that kovaleski changed his story is also false. kovaleski stands by his original story. what trump is distorting is that kovaleski cannot remember who specifically he'd talked to at the police department 15 years previously when checking a fact ( the person is not named in the original article ).
