I'm shameless.
Meryl Streep walked right by me in the interview room after taking questions and I couldn't help but say, "Congratulations." She stopped, turned, smiled and said, "Thank you."
I'd say we had a moment.
Here is some of what Meryl had to say backstage before our little moment:
On being emotional after winning: "I usually have a few drinks before my category comes up - so I was not really settled."
On her speech: "Did I speak for FOUR minutes? I hate people who do that!"
On landing the lead in "Mamma Mia" : "Vocally I'm not afraid but physically, there's a lot of dancing."
On post-show parties: "I hav e a 15 year old with me and I'm going to be watching everything she does."
A suck-up reporter, not me, tells Meryl how young and beautiful she looks. She says: You're so far in the back though!"

Odd couple on-stage: Tim Allen and Vanessa Williams with very, very wild hair. They have just presented best actor in a comedy to Alec Baldwin for "30 Rock" which Allen had called "Third Rock." Baldwin says he just had hernia surgery Dec. 21. Thanks for sharing! He has just made Tina Fey stand up. I'm sure she is moritfied. Alec has just thought his daughter "for her artistic inspiration.' He didn't thank ex-wife Kim Basinger, who he has been battling in court for years now over custody arrangements.

Hillary Swank (and her flower) presented with Jake Gyllenhaal who is no longer in drag (he did Jennifer Hudson parody on SNL). They have just presented the best screenplay to "The Queen."

Emily Blunt has come backstage without her Golden Globe. "Do I need it? Does anhyone have one I can borrow?" Some idiot has just asked her what she is carrying in her little purse! Sheesh, they'll let any moron back here. What's next? "Emily, what is your favorite flavor of chewing gum?"
Sheesh...
