Then, I’ve received lots of emails regarding Meryl’s eco-friendly dress, so here’s some more information: Meryl channelled the Oscars in more ways than one, sporting a gold Lanvin dress that resembled the statuette she ended up taking home. Streep took inspiration from Colin Firth’s wife Livia by wearing Lanvin’s first-ever eco-friendly gown for the 84th Academy Awards. It was created from Eco Certified Fabric, which was sourced with the help of the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC) – an initiative set up by Livia. More information on the eco-friendly dresses can be found at Miss Firth’s blog and at Eco Age. And finally, no Oscar update would be complete without a transcript of Meryl’s speech:

Oh my God. Oh come on. All right. Thank you so much, thank you thank you! When they called my name I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, “oh, no! Oh, come on why – her! Again!” But, whatever (laughter). First, I’m gonna thank Don, because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you’ve given me (applause). And, now, secondly, my other partner. Thirty-seven years ago, my first play in New York City, I met the great hairstylist and makeup artist Roy Helland. And we worked together pretty continuously since the day we clapped eyes on each other. His first film with me was “Sophie’s Choice” and all the way up to tonight when he won for his beautiful work in “The Iron Lady” thirty years later (applause). Every single movie in between. I just wanna thank Roy but also I wanna thank – because I really understand I’ll never be up here again (laughter) – I really wanna thank all my colleagues. All my friends. And I look out here, and I see my life before my eyes. My old friends, my new friends. And really, this is such a great honor, but the thing that counts the most with me is the friendships and the love and the sheer joy we have shared making movies together. My friends, thank you, all of you – departed and here – for this inexplicably wonderful career. Thank you so much. Thank you.

First of all, my apologies for not providing live coverage on the Academy Awards, but work schedules have prevented me from doing so. I hope you have all enjoyed the Oscars and I’ll be adding pictures and multimedia as we speak, so check back for more additions throughout the evening. About 400 pictures from the red carpet, the show and the press room and the after-parties have been added. More pictures – and video files – will be added tomorrow! Enjoy the new additions :-)

It has been a busy weekend for Meryl so far as she has attended the Academy Awards’ Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Symposium yesterday as well – to talk about the makeup process of “The Iron Lady”, alongside the Oscar-nominated makeup team of Marc Coulier and Roy Helland. Click below for the video and pictures from the conversation.

Yesterday, Meryl has attended the Weinstein Company’s Pre-Oscar party. A couple of pictures have been added to the image library. Also, over 100 additional pictures from the Berlin Film Festival (check the latest additions from the photocall, press conference, premiere and awards ceremony) and the Academy Awards’ Foreign Language Film Award Directors Reception have been added to the image library.

In anticipation of tomorrow’s Academy Awards, I’ve added some rare pictures of Meryl’s previous red carpet (and press room) appearances at the Academy Awards, ranging from 1979 to 1989. A full list of updated galleries can be found below the previews. Enjoy!

Here comes a fantastic treat for the image library – the German “Zeit Magazin” (February 23 issue, now on newsstands) has an in-depth article on Meryl’s and Brigitte Lacombe’s collaboration throughout the years, featuring an array of stunning pictures. Seriously, I’m going to write this every time there’s an update related to Brigitte Lacombe – hopefully one day she’ll publish a book with just pictures of Meryl! Enjoy the scans :-)

Scans from eight new international magazines have been added to the image library, with many thanks to Lydia-Caroline, Elisa, Sandra and Simona! Your contributions are very appreciated! A full list of new additions can be found below.

Many additional pictures have been added to the Berlinale galleries. The reception of the Honorary Golden Bear took place between the film’s premiere and the screening of “The Iron Lady”. Jury member and presenter Jake Gyllenhaal, who has been a childhood friend of Meryl’s son, shared some funny stories about how strict Meryl was as a mother, before handing her the award. Video clips from all events will be added later today, including the press conference, the awards ceremony and various interviews from German television. Check back later!

Meryl has been in Germany to attend the Berlin International Film Festival, or Berlinale in short. Together with director Phyllida Lloyd and co-star Jim Broadbent, she has attended a photocall and premiere for “The Iron Lady”. Before the screening started, Meryl was awarded with the Honorary Golden Bear for her exceptional career. Over 300 pictures have been added to the image library.
