Meryl Streep won the award for Best Actress for her performance in "The Post" and said in her acceptance speech, "Our film, in this very fraught moment, is about the best working situation between a man and a woman — where respect and devotion to the work is paramount." Streep continued. "Honestly, in my 40 years of making movies, that's been my experience almost all the time."
