an honorary Palme d’Or awarded to Meryl Streep

On the evening of Tuesday, May 14, Meryl Streep received an honorary Palme d’Or for her entire career, during the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, in front of a large standing auditorium. In 35 years, she has only come to Cannes twice, to receive two Palmes. One more award to add to his impressive collection: three Oscars for 21 nominations (world record), but also nine Golden Globes, two Baftas and a Silver Bear.

It must be said that Meryl Streep knows how to play everything. In nearly 50 years of career, she has been by turns powerful woman, tormented lover, inflexible leader or torn mother. The actress received another ovation on Wednesday afternoon during her meeting with the public. The opportunity to look back on the 64 feature films that make her such a familiar figure. She is an example for many women in cinema.
