Steven Spielberg's paper drama "The Post" took a bow at a politically charged National Board of Review Awards where Robert De Niro lambasted President Donald Trump with an expletive-laden tirade and Meryl Streep took a moment in an awards season rife with gender politics to praise the men who have been her mentors and collaborators.
It was already decided that Tuesday night's gala at Cipriani's in midtown Manhattan would belong to "The Post." The National Board of Review announced the winners last calendar month, with "The Mail service" taking best film, best actress for Streep and best actor for Tom Hanks. But given that the moving picture was unexpectedly shut out at Sun'due south Aureate Globes, Streep, Spielberg and Hanks were able to trot out the speeches they might have given days before.
"The men, I just recollect we can go through this moment," said Streep, referring to the "Me Also" moment and sexual harassment scandals that accept coursed through Hollywood. "Here'south the master thing I don't want to go away: the danger of making movies. How far you have to push stuff. How physically, emotionally unsafe it can be. How much we really need to trust each other. I don't want that to go away because that's where art lives."
Streep has been a prominent vocalism regarding gender equality in Hollywood post-obit the fallout of disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein, who distributed numerous films of Streep'southward. She's among the several hundred women in the amusement industry who have banded together in an initiative dubbed Time's Up, to promote gender equality among Hollywood executives.
Streep concluded her remarks past quoting her graphic symbol, Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, who strides forward at a crucial moment in the male-dominated 1970s newspaper industry to publish the Pentagon Papers in "The Post." ″And the time's upwards so let's go girls," said Streep. "Let's go, let'south go, permit's go."
But Streep as well sounded some more optimistic notes virtually gender relations in Hollywood. The human relationship of "The Mail" between Graham and editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), she said, typified her working experience "in my 40 years making movies."
"I love men," said Streep, noting the speeches of Hanks and "Call Me By Your Name" star Timothee Chalamet, the breakthrough role player winner. "Yes, I know it's the year of the woman and everything, merely oh my God. The men. All my mentors accept been men, even my sixth grade music teacher Paul Grossman, who permit me sing 5 versions of 'O Holy Night' in French, German and something else. And he became a woman, the kickoff man in New Jersey to have surgery and become a woman."
It was a celebratory night for "The Post," which is seen as a major Oscar contender, only which withal received no nominations from Tuesday's BAFTA Awards. Accepting the nighttime'south superlative award for best picture, Spielberg said he felt "a social imperative" to immediately make the script, by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer, nearly a free press standing upwards to a corrupt White House under Richard Nixon.
"Nosotros are in a fight and it's a fight not just most alternative facts but it's a fight for the objective truth," said Spielberg. "President Obama said in a recent interview, 'It'south not that democracy is fragile only it'south reversible.' I wanted to do more than simply sit down and spotter television and complain to [wife Kate Capshaw] and my kids about what's happening to our country."
De Niro, who introduced Streep, was blunter, referring to Trump every bit the "jerk-off in principal" and numerous other foul-mouthed insults that drew thanks from the crowd.
The National Board of Review gala isn't televised, and then some speeches were more gratuitous-wheeling than they might have been elsewhere. Others were more typically polished. Tina Fey introduced Hanks as such a national treasure that the president will soon "outset drilling him for oil."
"When I hear the words 'stable genius,' I of form call back of a smart horse that I once knew," said Fey. "And so I recall of Mr. Tom Hanks."
"The Disaster Artist" manager and star James Franco was in attendance to present his film's adapted screenplay award, even as some other result distanced itself from him. The New York Times on Tuesday canceled a "TimesTalk" conversation with the filmmaker and his brother and co-star, Dave Franco, later on actress Violet Paley and filmmaker Sarah Tither-Kaplan on Twitter accused Franco of earlier instances of sexual misconduct.
Franco didn't comment on the allegations Tuesday night.
