Can somebody who is or speak italian trasncript this for the rest of the world? I mean to all of us here, americans, brazilians or who knows what else nationality Meryl’s fans have. Because I had a lot of fun watching it even just trying to hear her without the italian translator.

I’m Italian and I saw the show on television Sunday night and Meryl was wonderful. Meryl was very funny and talked a little in Italian! The other winning actress adored Meryl and one of them when she spoke with her was almost crying! The show was on the channel RAI 1!!!
I LOVE MERYL!!!! SHE IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

I am very happy for Meryl. She deserved this award like every other. Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand everything what she said because of italian translator.
