Ladies and gentlemen, Meryl Streep.

This is my new favourite picture ever. Kate Winslet and Meryl "Home Run" Streep


HAHA! See the fake hungry look in her eyes? The Norma Desmond desperation with which she holds the statuette? The quiet, ever so lurid gleam of triumph in her scheming eyes? 

This is why I bet Meryl is the most fun to make a joke with: her effortless commitment. I bet Kate was like, "Oh Meryl, you should hold it, and pretend you won it, haha." And then Meryl was all, "Won it? PLEASE." and then TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL by stealing it later. When you stage a fake photo op with Meryl, you're getting your money's worth and then some. I bet she was the KICK at playing with her kids; Chekhov would have a hard time keeping up. Don't feel bad, Anton. She has this effect on everyone. 

The previously mentioned Stuck On You clip: just a warning--this is awesome.
