“Meryl Streep could play the Batman and be the right choice.” - Cam, on Modern Family lol

[BishopMortimer]

I believe that SCREAM was a GPS signal for all the EMMY'S to find her.

[SoulShinesMusic]

Wow. 😲 She certainly Meryl Streeped the f*ck outta that scene. lol

[clavians.]

The scream is terrifying. But watch it again for you've not noticed Kidman's outstanding reaction.

[neutralman]

Kidman's reaction was perfect. The screams been talked about enough.

[gillethsandico]

"my grief is too loud for you, celeste?" my god that scream was terrifying. Almost the laura palmer/twin peaks level.

[adam-llyf]

This was genuinely terrifying. The way Meryl played it was so primal and vicious. Brilliant!!!

[HelloHello-tmuc]

This scene made me think how Perry's childhood might have been with Streep's character as a mother. Streep is definitely getting that Emmy nod

[livelovelaugh]

Wow. That scream. That's an Emmy scream. She's the Queen

[tdun]

“What, my grief is too loud for you?” that line perfectly encapsulates mary louise’s passive aggressiveness and dramatic nature

[AA-qbni]

I got so many chills here. She freaks me out like Perry did oof

[whywelovefilm]

You know why Meryl Streep is a legend and continues to amaze people? It's because of scenes like this. I'm not even talking about her screaming, any actor can take a second to gather themselves and scream bloody murder like that. It's her acting before the scream that makes her so amazing. Think about it, Meryl Streep is one of the most decorated and praised actresses of All-Time. She has won and been nominated for so many awards that I bet she can't remember them all. But it's not the fact that she's Meryl Streep, an A-List Actor who does amazing work. It's because when you see her character's. you don't see Meryl Streep. Like in this scene here, I don't see Mirana from "The Devil Wears Prada, " I don't see the lady from "Osage County, " the lady from "The Post, " the award winning character from "Sophie's Choice, " or that crazy lady from "Momma Mia" or that film where she played an old age rockstar who disregards her kids. I dont see any of those characters, I don't even see Meryl Streep. I see an older housewife who has lost her Son and who is losing her mind over the loss. I see a depressed woman who is really losing it.

It one thing for an Actor to play a role convincingly, it's something completely different when that actress makes you forget that she's an Actress who has previous work and makes you actually believe the person on screen that you're seeing is a real person. That's why Meryl Streep is a legend.

[CR-zxzi]

What? My grief's too loud for you. Oh Celeste...
Lmao

[kitalako]

As if the cast didn’t have enough star power already-

[leonvilla]

it's not about the scream, it's about how she get there. Mary Louise's truly attitude is disguised by soften words that she's babbling over but actually her anger and ominous feelings are up to be show abruptly, at any rate if she wants, and her true self when she's on it gonna devour everyone around. Meryl Streep REALLY did that, bow down to the queen.

[Rubrickmusic]

I love that line "Don't you feel angry?" and then Nicole's character just stays quiet in confusion and shock from the abrupt question. Awesome acting between the two of them, maybe it was improvised.

[Jordan_Dale]

"Is my grievance too loud for you?" Already iconic.

[amaranwar]

Two things I loved more than the iconic scream:

1. Nicole's reaction. Amazing acting.
2. The way Meryl looks at her after saying "You don't?", trying to dig up anything she can find in Celeste about the incident.

Just finished the first episode and LOVED it. Can't wait to see what this season has in store.

[Proustmoi]

Would it be fabulous if her Emmy clip is just her screaming

[bugsbunnyknowsbetter]

You can tell the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Perry was just as terrifying as his mother.
