Meryl Streep isn't going to let Donald Trump settle into presidency---at least, not without first decrying him publicly at the Golden Globes award ceremony. Streep utilized her reception of the Cecill Demille award as a political platform to exhort like-minded celebrities to keep a Trump Administration accountable: "Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence insights violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose."

Streep described Trump's attitude as both violent and racist, referencing specifically his earlier response to a disabled, New York Times reporter. Trump promptly denied the reporter's disability as the reason of his ridicule. On the contrary, the president-elect insisted, his comments were designed to mimic a perceived nervousness on the part of the reporter in failing to relay consistency in his presentations.Trump expounded: "I was never mocking anyone. I was calling into question a reporter who had gotten nervous because he had changed his story. "People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter's disability," he added, "as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing."

Seemingly nonchalant, Trump concluded that Streep is a "Hillary lover." While he did not view the ceremony, he expressed in a phone call that he was not "surprised" by the "liberal," "over-rated" actress.

To be fair, Streep isn't the only one to have voiced stark dislike of a Trump Administration; in fact, celebrity refusal numbers are mounting. Among these include Rebecca Ferguson, David Foster, the Rockettes, and, most notably at the moment, Charlotte Church. Church, a previous opera-classical singer turned pop performer, tweeted her personal reason for denying a performance:

"Your staff have asked me to sing at your inauguration," the Welsh singer tweeted to Trump early Tuesday morning, "a simple Internet search would show I think you're a tyrant. Bye."

However and despite Hollywood's general grief, the Inauguration will continue January 20. Young Jacki Evancho has reportedly agreed to singing for the event.
