"Hollywood is crawling with foreigners and outsiders. And if you kick them out, all we'll have left to watch is football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts," Streep said while accepting her award. She tearfully ended her speech by quoting her late friend Carrie Fisher: "Take your broken heart, make it into art."
