In her speech @ the Golden Globes she said: I don't believe that the two biggest problems in this country are two people that want to commit to each other and steroids in sports.

You GO Miss Meryl!

5 halos for HBO's 'Angels in America'

By Nellie Andreeva
HBO's epic miniseries "Angels in America" and BBC America's offbeat comedy "The Office" took center stage Sunday in the TV portion of the 61st annual Golden Globes.

Mike Nichols' painstaking six-hour dissection of Reagan-era America in the AIDS-themed "Angels in America" swept the longform categories with a total of five wins, including best miniseries or TV movie, lead actress for Meryl Streep, and lead actor for Al Pacino.

Director and executive producer Nichols was in London, so "Angels in America" executive producer Cary Brokaw accepted the award for best miniseries or TV movie.

"We'd like to acknowledge all the scientists, organizations and individuals fighting (AIDS)," Brokaw said. "We can all do more because AIDS can and will be defeated."

In keeping with the political stance of the miniseries based on Tony Kushner's Pulitzer prize-winning play, Streep, in accepting her award, took a shot at some of the messages President Bush delivered last week in his State of the Union address.

"I just want to say that I don't think the two biggest problems in America are that too many people want to commit their lives to one another till death do us part, and steroids and sports," she said.

3. I noticed that too...nobody else said anything political

Her words were se well chosen that the powers that be couldn't really object to them...Good for her! :)

4. Me too, I was surprised to see that she was the only actor to get remotely

political in her acceptance speech. What I saw of Angels in America ruled, I am trying to catch the whole thing.

I was surprised that Robbins said nothing, he usually is plenty political. No matter I was glad that he and Bill Murray won.
