Streep speech prompts discussion about actors with different abilities

Danny Woodburn's Twitter account

At the Golden Globe Awards this year, Meryl Streep received an honorary award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. In her acceptance speech, she criticized then-President-elect Trump for mocking a reporter with a disability. Some applauded her comments, but others have reacted in a different way -- saying Hollywood has to take a look at its own acceptance of people with different abilities.
