I love Meryl, but I really think she should reconsider her wardrobe choices.

I think there needs to be a new Emmy category next year for Best Award Acceptance Appearance or some such.

Meryl would win it hands down--funny, with the self-importance of others squarely in her sights as she demolished the possible pomposity of the evening. Its the Emmys for crying out loud. Nobody cured cancer.

Think back to the memorable speeches of the past. Its the funny and/or brief ones that we remember. I can't even remember who won the Best Actor Oscar this year and I can't rember very many speeches from last night. I remember a lot of Meryl's. She is a funny and smart woman.

I thought the dress was a hoot. I would call the look "Dressing up like MERYL STREEP". She looked like the Great Actress was supposed to look like while being as playfully unsentimental as she could.

I wish more people would just go ahead and do stuff like this. And if anyone thinks that speech wasn't rehearsed within an inch of its life, think again. The lady is a pro and she is not going up there unprepared.

I'd love to see her in Shaw's The Millionairess. She would have a blast and so would we.

I don't know if it has ever been shown in the US but her accepting a BAFTA on behalf of Charlie Kaufman for Adaptation was truly the best speech I have ever heard.
