When she said "It's a little depressing knowing if you went to audition as yourself, you would lose out to her" I know I laughed until I changed into every color of the rainbow! OMG that was hilarious!
It really was a great speech. Perfect comedic timing.
I remember reading somewhere that Charlie Chaplin was travelling incognito on a cruise. The ship had organised a Fancy dress ball. Charlie Chaplin went as himself and won 2nd place to another Charlie Chaplin costume.
The quick cut-away to Carrie Fischer was perfect! She knew exactly what Nora meant. So much love for this moment.

Man... how I miss Nora Ephron
One of the legends of screenwriting honours Meryl Streep.
NOBODY says it BETTER than Nora Ephron. Here's what the NY Times said about Nora: "Nora Ephron can write about anything better than anybody can write about anything." The Seattle Times wrote, "Nora Ephron is, in essence, one of the original bloggers--and if everyone could write like her, what a lovely place the Internet would be..." Newsweek said Nora is "Funny, shrewd, devastating." "Always funny," says Mademoiselle magazine. "Pure delight," says Playboy. She's all that and more. Nora Ephron illumined the world with her brilliance. I miss her. (Nora Ephron--1941-2012)
Honestly,best comment ever!I love Nora too.
Not only was Nora a great writer and fall down funny, she could also deliver a story or a line as well as any great actress, if not better. Her dead pan stories are hilarious....wish I could've met her. Miss your wit and intelligence Nora
Only the good die young. RIP Nora Ephron ✌️❤️
I miss her so much. 😥
Indeed, if the New York Times, Newsweek, and The Seattle Times among many other print media could write like Norah, what a beautiful place the world would be. Here's the thing though, they can, but they won't, cause they have an agenda. Norah did not have an agenda. She just have the smart and the wit and the style.
The best speech ever!!!
How many of us miss Nora? I find myself here on YT playing these clips again and again...the interviews, the movie promotions. Nora you are SO missed.
God I miss Nora! She was so funny and made it look effortless. It goes without saying what a powerhouse she and Meryl were together and, clearly, very good friends as well. Love you, Nora! Rest in peace.
Funniest speech ever spoken!! Laughed so hard!
I LOVE Nora's books, "Crazy Salad," "Scribble Scribble," "I Feel Bad About My Neck," "I Remember Nothing." Nora Ephron is one of the most vibrant, remarkable voices of our time. RIP Nora...you are loved beyond words.
See, but the bit after just added to the genius of those lines.
I loved Nora Ephron! May she rest in peace..
She was incredible. The world misses you, Nora.
💯
Carrie Fisher 1:20, another iconic woman that Meryl brilliantly portrayed. May she rest in peace. Beautiful and hilarious speech.
Nora was BRILLIANT in her praise of Meryl's BRILLIANCE.
Rest in peace Nora. One of Hollywood's greatest writers
These few precious minutes never grow old. Nora Ephron continues to delight me.
I know Nora Ephron was a great writer , I had no idea she was this funny ,that was the best fun speech ever !
There are some days, like today, that I feel the gaping hole left in our consciousnesses and our funny bones by you leaving this earth Nora Ephron...
Her deadpan, slow-drawl delivery and highly intelligent wit was breathtaking in its simple delivery of some dead-funny stuff. Such an intellect and such a back catalogue of brilliant work.
I miss you Nora Ephron
Best speech of all! I love how you can hear Meryl laughing out loud
She is such an amazing artist. Not only is her writing the best, but she also can deliver it like any great actor......the more serious she is, the more i lose it laughing🦋🤩❤
I am forever going to be referring to Meryl as "Cheepak" ...Hilliarious, I love how Nora delivers head-spliting jokes with such a dry, dead-pan expression and tone of voice, you don't see it coming!
This is PURE GENIUS.
I miss and loved Nora to death and the movies she wrote remain my favorite.
Her boldness and wit inspired me to become a journalist myself.
I'm so grateful for all the strong women I've grown up seeing: Meryl, Nora, Hillary, Michelle, Tina, Amy... Priceless influence❤️
Such wit! This is a great speech.
One of the most hilarious speeches of all time😂😂😂
One of the smartest speeches I've ever watched.
RIP Nora Ephron. :') You are a legend. An inspiration women directors everywhere!
Now that was freaking hysterical ! LoL
Comedic Genius and delivery
May she Rest in Peace. This was fucking hilarious. Amazing!!!!!
We miss you awfully, Nora.
Wow, great to put a face to the name. Whenever I saw N.Ephron in credits I could only ever visualize a kidney diagram.
Very good writer also. RIP
Oops looks like she directed as well, I had no idea. Wow.
.
One of her best underrated movies, "Heartburn" ! GREAT SPEECH BY A GREAT WRITER !
RIP Nora
I love Nora so much...she is/was so funny...what a huge loss for humanity. I wish I could have known her. Brilliant....May Her Memory be Eternal....
Nora was so beautiful and so funny and so smart....Why is she not still here...What a great loss....However the Angels must be smiling with her....
I’ve never laughed so hard and after that there’s a little sadness in me to realize that Norah Ephron and even Carrie is no longer with us. The angels in heaven are so lucky because they have these ladies with them
oh nora, you'll be so so missed :( your intelligence, wit and talent in all things are so inspiring. such a role model for all the women in this world. rip
Bless you Nora. All of your movies remain my fave romcoms❤️
God I miss Nora.
God she was the best! May her memory be Eternal....
Brilliantly funny!
I don't know how many times I have watched this>>>Hilarious!
What a woman! RIP Nora.
Only Nora could weave and wind us through her stories and reveal the funny and her brilliant observations ❤
Thank you for your brilliance, Norah!
Soooo funny, such clever writing! I have watched it more than 20 time and still laugh
She was such a genius, I miss Nora 💕
A Great lady... will be missed
May Her Memory Be Eternal...
RIP to an amazing woman.
I love and miss Carrie Fisher so much, she was a role model about being honest about your struggles, and im sure helped alot of folks. Her humor, originality, her writing talents, her acting, all impeccable! She was also talk show gold, like diane keaton, you just wind them.up and let them go, they are one woman shows daily!! Rip Carrie we miss you!
That was a fantastic speech in every way
Nora was amazing. If given the chance read her books. Brilliant.
I loved Nora.....she was brilliant...gone way too soon....May her Memory be Eternal....
what a speech ! She was great ! It's not surprising Meryl's best friends deliver such funny speeches, all of them... waouh
Miss you Nora, forever in your hearts
This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard. Really impressive
She plays all of us better than we play ourselfes
And Nora can write better than any of us can write about anything. RIP. 😰
"although it's a little depressing knowing that if you went to audition to play yourself, you would lose out to her."
Nora is so brilliant and beautiful I wish she would write more or be a talk show host. Can't get enough of her. Go Girl!
It seems like Meryl is the new Chuck Norris ! ;)
Laughing my way to glory🤣❤️
Hilarious because it's so freakin true
The most brilliant romcom playwright ever
Very intelligent
I died of laughter!!! OMG!!
She delivers it so well!
Thank you, Nora, for making our lives a little brighter!

5-19-2010. Ain't it fine? Nora's 69. Happy Birthday, Nora. You've come a long way since The Dick Cavett Show. Many happy returns.
Brilliant! R.I.P Nora Ephron
Rest in peace, Nora. You were truly a mark of great intelligence on society.
This was the best speech ever !! Meryl Streep is the greatest actress in the history of cinema :)
This was classic comedy! I had no idea the great director Nora Ephron could be so funny. Her deadpan delivery was perfect. I would like to see and hear more from this very talented lady. Nora, step out from behind the camera a bit more, we love ya kid!
Nora Ephron was a class act
Adore Adore And Luv Luv Meryl Streep...Fav's, "Out Of Africa," "One True Thing," "Devil Wears Prada," "Momma Mia," "The Hours," WELL, Just Everything She Does-Period!!! And Nora Ephron, to have her writers eye, perspective and her sense of HUMOUR....Wow, it's Always Dead On Perfection! xoxoxo
that was an amazing speech! I love when people give such original and creatively humorous speeches rather than the same thing over and over.....loved the dingo reference and losing out meryl to play yourself! LOL
This was such a great speech!!! Meryl is unique! I love her! :)! And my mom adores her ;)!
RIP Nora♥
Thanks so much for explaining Tianobrothers!
that was so good!
Wow! Brilliant!
Out of all the tributes to her for the AFI, this one made me laugh the most. Brilliant.
I love this! Hilarious. Rest in peace, Nora Ephron. Your movies touched so many, you will be missed.
I love Nora... Just saw her at the Miami Book Fair.
GREAT Tribute!!! Meryl is The best! Nora's tribute is so funny!!!
Absolutely funny. The best team ever, Nora and Meryl 💫💕
That was Coming Around Again by Carly Simon.
That song was on the Heartburn movie soundtrack in which Meryl played Nora Ephron. (Ephron wrote the original book "Heartburn" based on her own life experiences.)
I love when they panned down to Jack. When she said when your husband cheats on you with a car hop. That face haha so jack.
Nora was brilliant
From one truly remarquable woman to another... Nora was so classy. Meryl is so precious. and vice versa.
this was the best speech that night!
I can't believe this... RIP Nora!!!
Meryl is the best and Nora's speech was just brilliant, very funny. And very true.....Meryl can play anybody :-)
The madness and delight of magnificent writers like Nora!! She will take you on a ride and you’ll pray it happens again and again!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hysterical
