Meryl Streep wins the Oscar for Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer at the 52nd Annual Academy Awards. Jack Lemmon and Cloris Leachman present the award.
@@2Bdiscovered In a big LIFE magazine article, just after The French Lieutenant's Woman, the writer said: "Although not beautiful..." Nearly knocked me out!
Yup very true. She had said she didn't like Dustin. Said he was a jerk. In the scene where they are arguing in the hallway he slaps her across the face. It wasn't supposed to be in the script. They left it in. But Meryl said it hurt and left a red mark on her face.
Barbra who is notorious for exits slowed clapped at several awards shows. "That one? Again? Go get her Jack! Bobby Redford! Somebody! For Christ's sake! Have some dignity! Right Marsha Mason? Sorry dear you've never been up there!"
Meryl is soooo beautiful she looks like a angel gliding up the steps. Honestly she deserves at least 5-6 more oscars!! She’s the greatest actress of all time.
+stefani Come on, there were a few deserved nominations but many times she was nominated only for being Meryl Streep. No other actress, giving the same performance, would have been nominated for "One true thing", "Music of the heart" or "Into the woods" and so on .. Good perfomances yes, but good is not already oscar-worthy. In fact, the academy LOOOVES to nominate Meryl, no matter what.. and all these unconditional praises are totally biased.
+MrMcsia I have to agree with you. She was entertaining in the "Devil Wears Prada", but that role was not worthy of an Oscar nomination, nor was "Julie and Julia". No doubt that Ms. Streep will receive her 20th OSCAR NOMINATION in 2017 with her performance of " Florence Jenkins Johnson," which will be in theaters in August 2016.
Some will say she is overrated. But all this Meryl celebratory-ish moments on almost every award is not without foundation. She really earned all these. If one will see her films and performances, one will be left puzzled how can she be all these characters. How she exposes the characters' thoughts and feelings. Each one is distinct from the others. Like she just turns into something else on screen-- the whole point of acting. (Alchemy) For me, that is genuine God-given talent. Meryl, may you continue to reign the screen for a long long time. 🙌
bach baroque Are you kidding me?? Her performance in Devil Wears Prada was a masterclass in acting, it was undoubtedly worthy of a nomination and many have said that Meryl should have got the Oscar for Julie And Julia, instead of Sandra Bullock..
Have you seen her in "Into the woods"? Ridiculous! No other actress would have been nominated for that performance. SHE did because she's Meryl Streep. And lately I re-watched "The french Lieutenant's woman", noticing she gave a pretty weak performance there too. The screenplay was powerful but not her. She was nominated anyway. Overrated.
Really? I mean just look at all the competition shes having: Maggie Smith: California Suit Diane Keaton: Reds Shirley MacLaine: Terms Of Endearment Geraldine Page: The Trip To Bountiful Glenn Close: Fatal Attraction Kathy Bates: Misery Susan Sarandon: Dead Man Walking Cate Blanchett: Elizabeth Hilary Swank: Boys Dont Cry Julianne Moore: The Hours Helen Mirren: The Queen Melissa Leo: Frozen River Gabourey Sidibe: Precious Viola Davis: The Help Cate Blanchett: Blue Jasmine Patricia Arquette: Boyhood Isabelle Huppert: Elle So by now your saying that she deserves a total of 20 FREAKIN OSCARS over all of this tallents? Your being ridiculously stupid.
+Fluffy Anxiety Nope. Huppert should have been the Winner that year. & Im talking about who SHOULD have won each year Streep was nominated, not who just won.
Ahhh, back before she was THE Meryl Streep, golden standard of acting... So beautiful, so shy, so amazed at being singled out, I just love her so much.
FYI Meryl Streep won 3 Oscars 1. Best Supporting Actress Kramer Vs Kramer 2. Best Actress in a Leading Role Sophie's Choice 3. Best Actress in a Leading Role The Iron Lady
gian lucero>The last two were politically motivated, one holocaust film, plus 'liberal' Hollywood's adoration for CON politicians. so much for 'absolutely THE greatest performance ever!"
End Wildlife Services'Needless Killing Of Wild Animals Are you kidding me? She gave the most impressive performances of ALL time of any actor or actress In Sophie’s Choice. To say it was politically motivated is insane!
I've seen almost all of Meryl's movies. I like her but I think she's ridiculously overrated. There are other phenomenal actresses who just don't get the chances she gets. Some of her performances are not that powerful, and she still was nominated for them. No other actress would have been nominated for "Into the woods" or "Music of the heart". Nowadays she's praised only because she's Meryl Streep, not for the actual performance. Freak out if you want, but I see the world through my own eyes, not through the eyes of the media. They perfectly know how to overrate someone so that nearly everyone sucks it.
folkosire Maybe the other phenomenal actresses don't bring to the table, what Meryl does.. If they are really talented, nobody can take away their chances.. Meryl gets these roles because filmmakers believe in her unmatchable talent..
I love the Oscars. There's such an aura of prestige, dignity, class and excellenece about this ceremony. Winning an Oscar is without a doubt the finest accomplishment an actor/actress can acheive in his or her career.
What a class act. Love how she lean over and kissed Dustin Hoffman. Thanks for sharing. I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this video. Her first Oscar win!
She was so young and nervous! She kept the speech very short but gracious and also exited on stage the wrong way and had to be corrected. She must have been tingling all over.
alren gomez I agree with you about she is the best. But being very honest, I think Viola Davis was robbed on 2012 by Meryl... Don't get me wrong, I love her, but we need to be honest.. =)
and many great actors have won only one or two Oscars - sometimes not even one. Peter OToole went to his great having never won Best Actor, altho they did give him a 'career achievement' award before he died.
There was no competition here -- but she deserved it nonetheless! She also famously rewrote some of her lines in the film, making her part meatier and more meaningful, and this is what won her the gold.
Undoubtedly one of the most talented n finest actress of postwar era.What a versatile she is!Won oscars for three times as the best actress.Sophie’s choice,Kramer vs Kramer n Iron Lady speaks the depth of her acting.Awesome as she deserves more than she got from Hollywood!👍👍👍❤️
Barbara Barrie recreated her role in the short live TV series BREAKING AWAY. Only a handful of performers have parlayed a Oscar nominated role over to a television series. Eileen Brennan did it for PRIVATE BENJAMIN = not sure f there are any others.
Just adore her. One of the best actresses in hollywood. Of course she was going to win this Oscar. No competition. There rarely is when Meryl is in the running.
You could see just how the audience was most vocal when Meryl Streep's name came up during the announcing of the nominations. She looks beautiful here.
I have to watch kramer vs kramer after finding out it ranks as meryl streeps 3rd best performance after karen silkwood and sophies choice. I read that the strength of the performances of the two lead actors can be at least partly attributed to what was going on in their private lives at the time. Dustin Hoffman was in the midst of a messy divorce, while Meryl Streep was still recovering from the death of her lover, John Cazale.
Meryl Streep is perfect! Beautiful lady, you should have won and we all know that you are THE talent. A shame that American film makers are so emtpy-headed that someone younger or good-looking can win an award instead of true TALENTS... especially one talent, the divine, unforgettable and fabulous MERYL STREEP.
it's okay. she was still at the beginning of her career. now she goes up there and gives a speech so easily, like seriously she doesn't have to prepare a speech anymore.
The last time Meryl Streep wasn’t seated in the front row
She’s gorgeous
In Oscars 2003 and 2006, she was seated in the aisle.
When Cher won, she was in the back.
Jeeez, she's freaking beautiful.
DID YOU KNOW SHE AUDITIONED FOR KING KONG BACK IN THE DAY AND WAS DENIED CUZ THE DIRECTOR SAID SHE WAS UGLY? HE MUST BE KICKING HIMSELF NOW.
Who is prettier now? Meryl or Jessica Lange?
Jimmy Barr equal
@@2Bdiscovered went to Jessica Lange.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how flawless her hair looked here?
Prell*
70s hairstyle is always glowing.
38 years later, as level-headed and gracious.
God bless Meryl Streep.
Best actress ever and truly special human❤️
Meryl left her Oscar in the ladies room that night.
George Strum ⁉️
Too funny. You could tell she knew she would win...she deserved it. Too bad Justin did not get an award too.
How’d you know 😂
it's true....luckily the guy who stole frances mcdormand's oscar wasn't born yet!
Are you serious or Pulling our Legs ?
Classic Meryl Streep. She's like a fine wine and only gets better with age I tell ya
Seems like an awesome person too.
I'll tell ya what bobby
This woman can do no wrong. All those acting chops... and then there's that exquisite face.
TayInTheWay She really is THE actress of all time. There's no wonder there.

the way she kissed Dustin is so adorable
Wonderful!
She hated him and to this day. Fake kindness toward one another
Yup very true. She had said she didn't like Dustin. Said he was a jerk. In the scene where they are arguing in the hallway he slaps her across the face. It wasn't supposed to be in the script. They left it in. But Meryl said it hurt and left a red mark on her face.
He also smashed the wine glass without her knowing it.
@@smokey03100 Fake kindness or teasing? hahahahah
Good Job, 3 years into her acting career and she wins her 1st Oscar !!!
Unfortunately John Cazale wasn't there to see it.
I’m not wondering about that, it’s Meryl Streep, she’s the best 😊!
Meryl Streep always leaves on the wrong side of the room. So funny.
'Nope! that way!"
Dustin did too after his speech. 😂

How stunning.. no wonder why she aged so well. Seems like I'll be obsessing over her for quite some time now.
When people had real noses and faces. Refreshing.
@@m.e.d.7997 The most wonderful thing is that she still has them now😊
Streep in Sophie's Choice was the finest acting I've ever seen.
Ahhh, back before she was THE Meryl Streep, golden standard of acting... So beautiful, so shy, so amazed at being singled out, I just love her so much.
She really Is the best actress of ALL TIME!! She totally deserved this!
I love her hair in this video so much!
FYI
Meryl Streep won 3 Oscars
1. Best Supporting Actress Kramer Vs Kramer

Been nominated like 15 times. Should have won more. Take off anyone for her to win. Greatest performer on film ever.
Gian Lucero and 8 golden globes!
She is so pretty with the long hair
As far as I am concerned, Meryl Streep is THE GREATEST actress of all time!
Short, sweet, delightful and powerfully effective...a lasting effect.
I want Meryl to win again an Oscar so bad! She is such an amazing actress
A timeless film. What a performance. Meryl, you'll always be on top!
Streep is the greatest actor ever
G.O.A.T. Well deserved.
Yes!!
Marlon Brando
Meryl epitomizes the concept of the great actor. By far one of the best actresses who has ever lived...
Back then between 1980 and 1990, she gave Oscar worthy performances almost every year!!
Those who make derogatory comments about Meryl Street have never seen the films in which she has appeared.
+Fifth Continent Kate Hepburn was one of her detractors and I thought she was out of line.
+Brooke Hanley We agree.

I hope that was a typo. Street?
She really did look like an icon from an old Russian church in her early days. Beautiful, porcelain, broken nose, luminous. Wow.
Both Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman did a wonderful job in the movie Kramer vs Kramer!!
Always a Queen! Impossible not to fall in love with her!
Wow, she looks gorgeous.
Short and sweet. She is a living legend and an amazing actress!
I would punch Dino De Laurentiis in the face for calling her "Ugly"...
and now, he is nobody... and she is a star
1997residente and loren michaels too, for katherine o'hara's skit playing meryl in SCTV's 'celebrity blow-up' ?
wonder why she did not have it fixed? She would have been prettier but she is still attractive.
@@graciafirst I'm not taking sides but Dino de Laurentis is anything but a nobody
Let;s be honest. Meryl should have won al least 10 oscars by now. Really!!
Great group, all deserving
I loved this movie and all the performances - and Meryl looked so beautiful here. She is truly a gifted person.
I love her!!! I also love that she has a short and simple speech unlike those who ramble on for hours!
I love the Oscars. There's such an aura of prestige, dignity, class and excellenece about this ceremony. Winning an Oscar is without a doubt the finest accomplishment an actor/actress can acheive in his or her career.
she looks so queen like. she is so pretty and not in that typical way. lovely person inside and out!
she looks absolutely flawless and her hair is just beautiful!!!! love love her!!!
Tell me you didn't think that it was a young Glen Close standing next to Jack Lemmon? What an uncanny similarity... amazing!!
She looks drop deap gorgeous. Truly Stunning. She defined perfection. Oh my, wow.
I LOVE how she kisses Dustin Hoffman when she sits up. She's so great and generous.
Dustin kissed his cinematic son-and fellow nominee-, Justin Henry, the same way as he left his set to grab his award that same night
What a class act. Love how she lean over and kissed Dustin Hoffman. Thanks for sharing. I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this video. Her first Oscar win!
She was so young and nervous! She kept the speech very short but gracious and also exited on stage the wrong way and had to be corrected. She must have been tingling all over.
Her hair was so lush and swell here
Beginning of a wonderful career. Totally deserved win.
meryl streep the best actress in the world.you deserved more oscar's.you've been robbed so many times.
alren gomez I agree with you about she is the best. But being very honest, I think Viola Davis was robbed on 2012 by Meryl... Don't get me wrong, I love her, but we need to be honest.. =)
+gavo1201 Thank you.
So true
@@gavo1201 She wasn't. Meryl got every award that year. People bought that cause Meryk herself said that.
Me to. I wouldn't hold my breathe. It took 30 years for her to get her long overdo and well deserved 3rd oscar.
and many great actors have won only one or two Oscars - sometimes not even one. Peter OToole went to his great having never won Best Actor, altho they did give him a 'career achievement' award before he died.

i had never seen her that young. She looks beautiful there too. She is just great.
she looks so lovely
amazing.
she has aged very well too, she still looks almost the same.

What a woman, why were women do alluring back in the 70's, she will stay in my memory for some time, stunner.
Meryl streep ❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The beginning of a legacy
meryl is SHINING.
Just adore her. One of the best actresses in hollywood. Of course she was going to win this Oscar. No competition. There rarely is when Meryl is in the running.
keep in mind that she has been nominated something like a dozen times, and has only three actual Oscars.

so totally gracious, as she has proven to be her entire life. a rare gem in an insane industry.
she has hardly aged! Amazing! Great Lady.
As a struggling single father I could REALLY appreciate Kramer vs. Kramer.
Love that movie.
she always great! love you soo much meryl!

Well they didn't like each other.
Wow. Meryl Streep is truly timeless.... In 2017, don't recognize any of the names except for hers. Truly the best actress right there.
Really? You've never heard of Glenn Close, one of the most famous actresses of the same generation as Ms. Streep?
@@dylanmusic2993 I think he meant the names of the nominees along with Meryl that year
Meryl Streep is a fabulous actor. That doesn’t mean you’re not an ignorant.
I’ve heard of Candice Bergman. This was before she became known as Murphy Brown.
Omg!! Even thought she didn't get very well with Dustin Hoffman while filming Kramer vs Kramer he thanked him anyway?
Great performance, great speech. She was so beautiful that night!
She didn't know it at that point, but Meryl is by fat the greatest actress thas has ever lived!
omg she never get old isn't she? she still look pretty till now, i think it's the smile that make you young :)
Little did they know who she would BECOME! The Queen 👑
I Just Love Her, She's the best actresss in the last decades
And now years later Meryl is one of our times best actress ever since the time of Kathrine Hepburn and Ingrid Begman
She thanked Dustin Hoffman although they actually hated each other!!!
She should be nominated for Best Actress that year
She's deserved to win at least half a dozen more Oscars than she has!
SHE IS AN AWESOME ACTRESS
the way she gracefully makes her way up to the stage with Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto in C! Divine!!!
A truly well deserved oscar.Bravo,Meryl!!!
She is so elegant, and I don't know of anyone who can capture one's attention the way she can...she is the queen of the big screen.
Meryl was (is) truly a stunning looking woman. Just beautiful.
Is she just an amazing actress OR WHAT!3rd oscar for here!!!!!!!!!
Dustin has glitter from the beautiful fairy princess on his cheek.
One of the greatest actresses of our time. If not the greatest at least to me.
wonderful...Meryl Streep is the best...I just love her...besides she is classy...amazing...she deserves more of them!
Meryl Streep is perfect!

The 1st of MANY for her. Should rename it the Meryl award!
Gosh, she's already been so beautiful at this time!
