Meryl Streep was honoured with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at last night's Golden Globe Awards and caused quite the sensation with her acceptance speech in which she went all-in on Trump without even naming him, and Hollywood loved it.
Of course, Trump has since responded and poo-pooed everything she said, calling her a "Hillary lover" and saying that he "was never mocking anyone".
The rest of the celebrity world however thought otherwise, and resoundingly praised Streep for using her time to shine a spotlight on the reality of a Trump presidency and what it means to their community and the world at large.
There has never been anyone like Meryl Streep. I love her. #GoldenGlobes
