Meryl Streep sure doesnt waste time during acceptance speeches.

The Oscar-winning actress delivered powerful remarks about politics at the Golden Globes in January, prompting Donald Trump , then the president-elect, to describe her in a tweet as over-rated. And on Saturday night, she responded to the presidents post-Globes Twitter comments during yet another rousing speech this time addressing LGBTQ freedoms and equal rights.

Though she didnt mention Trump by name, Streep did joke about his tweet blasting her Globes speech, and called out his catastrophic instinct to retaliate.

Yes, I am the most overrated, over-decorated, and currently, over-berated actress of my generation, she joked on Saturday, while accepting the Ally for Equality Award from the Human Rights Campaign, according to Entertainment Weekly . But that is why you invited me here! Right?

Things turned serious when Streep spoke about politics. If you think people got mad when they thought the government was coming after their guns, wait until they come and try to take away our happiness, she told the audience , which gave her multiple standing ovations.
