Yesterday, Meryl has attended the BAFTA Los Angeles’ 18th Annual Awards Season Tea Party. It’s not the regular champagne-fuelled showbiz bash though; it’s a daytime tea party where an array of Golden Globe nominees sip Earl Grey and nibble on finger sandwiches and scones with jam and cream. Meryl was spotted with colleagues Leonardo DiCaprio and Viola Davis, and chatting to Andy Serkis and Jane Seymour. Find all pictures in the image library.

Yesterday’s second talkshow appearance, on Jimmy Kimmel Live, has been added to the archives as well. This 15 minutes interview is very funny as went beyond the usual questions – Meryl spoke about her experience in Beijing a couple of months ago at the US China Forum on the Arts and Culture and that she heard a ghost in her home in the early 1990s. Very worthwile interview, the full segment can be found in the video archive, HD captures are in the image library. Enjoy!

Coverage for this year’s Critics Choice Movie Awards will be, unfortunately, short. The Best Actress award went to Viola Davis for “The Help” – and there are only a couple of pictures of Meryl from inside the ceremony, no red carpet as always ;-) Nevertheless, I’ve added the Best Actress segment to the video archive as well as pictures and captures to the image library.

As most of you probably know, Meryl has attended the Ellen DeGeneres Show today to promote “The Iron Lady” – the first of two talkshow appearances today, as she’ll be on Jimmy Kimmel Live as well, not to mention today’s Critics Choice Movie Awards. A longer excerpt from the appearance has been added, in which she talks about the National Women’s History Museum. The full segment will follow. Also, HD captures have been added to the image library.

Meryl’s interview on the French talkshow Le Grand Journal has been added to the video archive. Her segment is short but funny, especially the card trick. Additionally, find captures from the interview in the image library.

Lots of television programmes and news outlets have aired their interviews with Meryl Streep about “The Iron Lady” today. All interviews were conducted at the UK or US press junkets for the film. There’s also a funny segment from French television on the Paris premiere of the film. A list of the latest additions can be found below the previews.

The Weinstein Co. has created a series of unusual campaign-style posters to promote the film online and possibly in print as well. The intentionally defaced ads play off the idea that not everyone was in love with Thatcher in her home country, embracing the controversy she stirred in England, not shying away from it. It might seem odd to promote a film with an ad campaign that seems to disparage the movie’s subject, but it’s very much a play on Thatcher’s thorny relationship with many in her country during the time she served as prime minister (article courtesy Politico). Another new poster, probably for its wide release in the USA, has been added as well.

Also, with thanks to Frank for the heads-up, Meryl has been awarded Best Actress for “The Iron Lady” by the Denver Film Critics Society and has received a nomination as Best International Actress for the Irish Film and Television Award. Congratulations!

Here are some fantastic on-set and promotional pictures from some of Meryl’s previous films – Doubt, Adaptation, Plenty and Sophie’s Choice – all shot by the marvelous Brigitte Lacombe. Seriously, how many of these pictures is she holding back? :-) Here’s hoping that one day she will publish a book with all the images she’s taken of Meryl’s films throughout the years. On a sidenote, I’m not entirely sure if the black & white picture of Meryl in her dressing room is really from the set of “Adaptation” – what would be your guess?

Yesterday, Meryl has attended the 77th Annual New York Film Critics Circle Award, accepting her Best Actress win for “The Iron Lady”. Lots of pictures from the ceremony have been added to the image library.

On January 08, “The Andrew Marr Show” featured an interview with Meryl on “The Iron Lady”, her career and upcoming projects (on which she mentions “a sex comedy with Tommy Lee Jones ;-). The full appearance can be watched in the video archive, with pictures from the taping of the interview added to the image library. Thanks to everybody for the heads-up!
