Last night, Meryl atended the 2014 Gotham Independent Film Awards to present the Special Jury Award for Ensemble Performance to Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo in the film Foxcatcher. Carell picked up the honour on behalf of the trio and joked about the fact Meryl Streep was on hand to give him the trophy, stating, “They got Meryl Streep to come here and give us this award. Suck on that!” Pictures from the ceremony can be found in the image library.
This morning, Meryl has visited Good Morning America to promote Into the Woods. She talked about finally playing a witch after refusing it so often in her past, the recent internet story of Emily Blunt saving her life, and what role she would like to play that she hasn’t played. The full interview can be watched in the video archive with HD screencaptures being added to the image library.
Lots of additional pictures have been added to the image library over the weekend, including a new production still from “Into the Woods”, several international posters and a first For Your Consideration ad for the film, as well as many new pictures from both recent appearances and other events that took place in 2014. For a complete overview, check the links below the previews. My biggest thanks to both Claudia and Lindsey for sending in some fantastic pictures.
This week, “The Giver” has been released on Blu-Ray, DVD and on demand in the United States. With many thanks to Ali, screencaptures from the Blu-Ray have been added to the image library.

Yesterday, Meryl has paid a visit to Broadway and former “Plenty” co-star Sting at a performance of “The Last Ship”. Pictures have been added to the image library. Edit: Additional pictures from the New York press conference for “Into the Woods” have been added as well.
Lots of new additions today. First, over 70 more press images from the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony have been added to the image library, with many thanks to Lindsey for the support. Screencaptures have been added as well. Then, there seem to be a ton of press junkets and interviews right now in New York for the upcoming media coverage on “Into the Woods. Pictures from the November 23 press junket for the film have been added. Much more, including video clips from the various press junkets as well as news coverage will be added tomorrow. Enjoy the new additions.
Today, Meryl Streep was among those receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S. President Barack Obama presented the recipients with the medals today in a White House ceremony. Five people received the honor posthumously. “We’ve got some extraordinary public servants on this stage,” Obama said before presenting the medals. “We also give thanks to innovators who change our world.” The president annually awards Medals of Freedom to people who have made contributions to society including in the areas of security, peace and culture. Of Meryl, President Obama said, “I love Meryl Streep. Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There’s nothing they can do about it.” A first batch of pictures from the ceremony can be found in the image library.
A couple of nice additional theatre pictures have been added to the image library, with many thanks to Jane for contributing some of them. Pictures range from Meryl’s early work with the Yale Repertory Theatre (Major Barbara, The Possessed) to the Newman Theater’s production of “Taken in Marriage”. For a complete overview, have a look at the list below the previews.
In 2006, Meryl Streep participated in an odd but fascinating short subject called “The Music of Regret”, a “mini-musical” inspired by three distinct periods of director Laurie Simmons’s photographic work: vintage hand puppets, ventriloquist dummies and walking objects enact tales of ambition, disappointment, love, loss, and regret. While additional information about this project has been posted to the career section for some time, DVD screencaptures have been now added to the image library, as well as on-set pictures and captures from an interview with Meryl.
With many thanks to my friend Alvaro, new scans from magazines – all published this year – have been added to the image library.
