The media loves two things; celebrities whining about Trump and fact checks.
Today's post combines both of them together as The Point's Fact Check fact checks President-elect Trump's contention that overrated actress Meryl Streep is indeed overrated. Now try saying that three times fast.
The controversy began when Meryl Streep whined at the Golden Globes that Hollywood celebrities were among the most vilified in American society.
"All of us in this room, really, belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it. Hollywood, foreigners and the press. But who are we? And, you know, what is Hollywood anyway? It's just a bunch of people from other places."

Any woman who can open a can of peas with her nose like she can will never be “over rated.”

She’s just an actress plain and simple. A person paid to pose and recite words written by someone else. It doesn’t give her any special intellectual powers or political acumen.
Yes, overrated. In the past I’ve been indifferent about her playing in movies.
Now, I’ll just outright boycott them.
Good one!
So, no one will be left to make movies, if such people as Streep mentions are gone?
OK
I don’t have any of her DVDs in my collection so I guess, IMHO, she is. I guess she never did anything to impress me.
That MUST be a rhetorical question.
All actors are overrated IMO.
The words “actress” and “actor” says all that needs to be said...These are nothing more than people playing like they are “somebody”...
Trump and Pauline Kael agree: Streep is overrated.
Even Gary Oldman?
Well said and AMEN!
Who’s Merle Streep?
I can’t think of any AMERICAN actress as being exceptional in the last....say 50 years.
Trump and Pauline Kael agree: Streep is overrated.
I don’t think Hepburn is overrated.
