Our thank you speech
This is from the BAFTAs not the Oscars but we like the Cinderella moment. Here’s The Art of the Meryl Streep Acceptance Speech.
Our friend who has been reciting novenas for Meryl Streep’s second Best Actress Oscar since the turn of this century is too choked up to say anything, but we accept Meryl’s Academy Award for The Iron Lady on his behalf and hope the crate of champagne he bought for the party for the Oscar that didn’t come for The Devil Wears Prada, Doubt and Julie and Julia is still fizzy.
Here’s Michael’s speech.
No one knows that this award means the World to me. It has been a long journey since 2010, the very first time I read a one-line item in the L.A. Times: Meryl was playing Margaret Thatcher. It signifies so much Hope and Happy Times to come! I am So Grateful to all those who believed!

I am reminded of the only Onion article that is completely true: Meryl Streep has no peers.
