Meryl Streep

Meryl and Sandra Share Best Actress and Press Room Laughs at Critics' Choice

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock were both named Best Actress at tonight's Critics' Choice Awards in LA.

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock were both named Best Actress at tonight's Critics' Choice Awards in LA. After taking the stage together, Sandra came to answer questions in the press room first, but was quickly joined by Meryl, and the two beautiful ladies shared a laugh and mutual love for each other on stage. Sandra joked the whole time about being asked who she was wearing — Alberta Ferretti — and they were both charming, endearing, and amazingly admirable. Here's some highlights from both of them:

  • Sandra on the possibility of beating Meryl: "No, never. You know, I've said this before — I think our craft was elevated when Meryl stepped into roles as an actress and I don't think you can ever reach what she is able to do. It's just what God put her on the planet to do. You can admire and steal, which I will, but I got to share a stage with her . . . it just doesn't get any better than that, because of the woman she is."
  • Meryl on Sandra: "I've really admired Sandra's work especially this year — I told her I had a marathon this weekend, not just two films but others from when she was even younger. [To Sandra] You have an amazing gift, you really do. There are things that look easy, but they're the hardest things in the world to do, just to have charm. This woman has a passion, feeling, everything — when she's funny it's always from a real centered place in her emotional life. She's as good as it gets, babe. I'm proud of you."

    The Hangover Cast Hams It Up and Won't Get Serious in Critics' Choice Press Room

    The Hangover took home the Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy, which brought the cast back into the press room tonight — check out all the winners here.

    The Hangover took home the Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy, which brought the cast back into the press room tonight — check out all the winners here. Director Todd Phillips said that a sequel to the hit movie is in the writing stage at the moment, but he is hoping to get it out by Memorial Day 2011 — although he denied the rumor that Zac Efron has a role in it. The whole crew had a great sense of humor — here's a few highlights:

    • Phillips on Zac Efron being in The Hangover 2: "No. No. You know reporters tend to treat IMDB like it's the Wall Street Journal. You know you do realize that it's written by some 15-year-old fat kid in Tampa that updates it, right? It's really not the paper of record."
    • On what part of the movie fans ask about: Bradley — "They ask us about the tiger and Tyson." Ed — "They ask me what it was like to kiss Heather Graham. [It was] moist." Heather — "A lot of my girlfriends want to be introduced to Bradley. [Ed acts hurt] . . . a lot of girlfriends want to be introduced to Ed too."
    • Ed on being considered an "alternative heartthrob": "I'm going to try and not be insulted by 'alternative heatthrob.' An alternative hearththrob feels alternatively good and humiliated. . . It's exciting. It's a revelation, thank you."

    Things got a little more somber when they were asked about the situation in Haiti, which Ken Jeong commented on before joking that he wanted to talk about his "tiny penis."
