‘Mic drop’ Twitter can’t stop talking about Meryl Streep’s GG speech

by

After being honoured with the Cecil B. De Mille Award at last night's Golden Globe Awards, Meryl Streep gave a speech which has sent social media into meltdown.

Without naming any names, the iconic actress gave a scathing assessment of the American President elect Donald Trump in a move which has divided Twitter users today.

While the vast majority praised Meryl for using her moment to offer her opinion on the 45th president, others called Meryl out on supposed hypocrisy.

"There was one performance this year that stunned me," Meryl told the audience. "It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good.  There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job.”

"It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter."

"Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life."

And, unsurprisingly, Twitter wasted no time sharing their thoughts on Meryl's words.
