Meryl Streep Gets Honest At The National Board Of Review Gala

Meryl StreepThe National Board of Review Gala honoring the films of 2013 was more than just an award show. Insults and jokes were flying from A-list celebrities, especially from Meryl Streep. The academy award winning actress gave a toast to best actress winner Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks). Streep described Thompson as “a rabid man-eating feminist like I am.”

She followed with a hit on Walt Disney, describing him as a racist and a sexist. If that wasn’t enough, Streep slammed the awards season – calling it “really ridiculous.” Come on, Meryl… with all of the awards you’ve collected. Let’s show some appreciation for the season that honors your work.
