Sunday night at the Golden Globes, actress Meryl Streep gave an anti-Trump speech when she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award. While most of Hollywood and the press were smitten by Streep, calling the speech "powerful" and "brave," at least two celebrities were not: Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn.
A somewhat hilarious screenshot caught the two in various stages of "side-eye" during Streep's acceptance speech. Vaughn in particular looks as though he's about to explode, whereas Gibson just kind of looks annoyed.

At such childish drivel as Streep could deliver.
Libs are cowards, they make hateful illogical inaccurate speeches from the podium mike - afraid to engage in discussion and debate knowing they will be proven wrong and exposed as no nothings.
Actually, Streep’s rant is a good thing. Liberals should continue to show exactly who they are, and what they think. Liberals are much more dangerous when they try to hide their plans.
I actually heard her speech on the radio yesterday. She’s a pretty good actor, but she apparently needs a script. I was embarrassed for her.
She just parroted what she heard and read in the “Progressive” information bubble.
“Page can not be found”
She went on and on for several minutes about nothing to do with an award show. People came for a good time only to have to listen to a crazy lady who would not shut up.
This photo, with different wording, could be used for the oft-used meme with the 50s guy saying “I can’t believe this sh*t”.
Vince Vaughn in 2011---at LPAC.
You’ve stated pretty much what my response was on Facebook to a couple of postings that thought Streep was just brilliant. As usual, it was from a couple of lib women.
Oh, that link accesses Streep's brain cells.
Greg Gutfeld showed the pic of Vaughn and Gibson on “The Five” last night. Hilarious! One of the panel called it “the Conservative table”.
REAL courage would have been for someone to get up and say they were glad Obama was going and tear into him! If you crave attention and newstime, THAT would have caused quite a commotion. Think the mostly liberal crowd would have been respectfully tolerant of a differing opinion and the GUTS to get up and express it? Now that would have been a REAL victim!
As I see it, there are two potential reactions to what Streep said….
1. One should feel very angry that she is talking down with the air of someone from on high with the same elitist attitude as the politicians that she espouses and who along with the lying media, started the lie about Mr. Trump and continue to perpetuate it. Half of America at least figured it out and shut the liars down.
2. One could feel very sorry for a woman who on one level seems very smart and educated… while on another level, is so misinformed that she goes out and makes such a complete and total asshat of herself based on wrong, incomplete and fraudulent information. It a sad state of a affairs when a person is under such a state of disillusion and misinformation that they go on national tv making a statement that to her seemed for all the world like it was the right and honourable thing to do….. meanwhile, she may actually not realize that what she said was just the continuation of the fraud as started and kept going by the very people she supports. I wonder if she dreamed up her statement on her own… or if some Hollyweird leftist type put her up to it.
Makes one wonder if she is willingly part of the fraud….. or a duped and unknowing participant in it.
I’ll have to find the pic of the “lady in green” at the Golden Globes who was totally disgusted.
Hope you find the pic.
When I first saw snippets of Streep’s speech on the morning news, I though she sounded spaced out if not drunk. Last night I watched the whole thing and realize I was wrong. The reason she came off so weirdly to me was that she was trying to milk an award-winning performance out of her pathetic script. The dramatic pauses, the tremulous voice, etc simply made her look ridiculous as she recited her banal “speech”. Add to that the fact that nothing in the speech was true, and you are left with an embarrassing FAIL.
