Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock are the latest female celebrities to lock lips in public. This time, the episode was at the Critics’ Choice Awards.
The pair, feted as two of Hollywood’s best known comic stars, were both named best actress at last night’s Critics’ Choice Movie Awards — Streep for her role as Julia Child in Julie and Julia, and Bullock for The Blind Side, to be released later this year.
As Meryl accepted her prize at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, she said: “First, I want to thank my husband who’s golfing.
“But I’m sitting next to the head of Sony pictures, so I’m really thrilled. I’m really, really thrilled because I really love what I do.
“I love acting and I love to work and I love food and I love sex – so did Julia Child, so it wasn’t that much of stretch.
“I want to thank the embarrassingly gifted Stanley Tucci her Julie & Juli co-star] – he knows why. And we’re so lucky to do what we do and to give back and I hope we all do it this week. I’m really very grateful.”
After Meryl finished talking, Sandra, 45, was also announced as a winner.
As Bullock took to the podium after Streep’s speech, she yelled: “This is bulls—!”
The glamorous stars then proceeded to face up to one another in mock anger, before sharing a kiss on the lips.
Afterwards, the Miss Congeniality actor, 45, told the audience: “Meryl’s a great kisser.”
