‘Come On, We’re Going to the Bar’: Kathy Bates Recalls Sweet Bonding Moment With Meryl Streep After 2003 Oscar Defeat; DEETS

Occasionally, when you’ve misplaced something valuable, something truly special takes its place instead. This was exactly what happened with Kathy Bates and Meryl Streep. Despite both of them missing out on an Academy Award in the Supporting Actress category in 2003, they formed a heartwarming bond that remains memorable to this day.

According to Entertainment Tonight, two established actresses who were previously competitors in the same Oscar category found themselves defeated by Catherine Zeta-Jones for her role in Chicago. This event was discussed by one of them during her appearance on the Dinner’s On Me with Jesse Tyler Fergusson podcast.

For those less familiar, that particular year saw Meryl Streep being nominated for her role in “Adaptation” and Philip Seymour Hoffman for “About Schmidt”. Following Kyra Sedgwick’s win, the show continued, necessitating both Streep and Hoffman to be present.

During the conversation about the memento, the American Horror Story actress recounted that during a commercial break, the Mamma Mia star passed by and invited her to go to a bar, saying, “Let’s go, we’re heading to the bar.” Bates then described their ensuing visit as akin to a scene reminiscent of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.

According to the report, the actress from Matlock felt relieved following a positive interaction with Meryl Streep, whom she had admired and felt envious towards for over ten years.

Bates disclosed that the actress from The Devil Wears Prada angrily placed her handbag on a bar table and requested a straight, neat vodka. Similarly, the star of A Family Affair shared she too slammed her bag and asked for the same drink as Meryl Streep did.

The actress told the podcast’s host, “We took a moment to acknowledge each other with a toast. It truly felt significant.

In a moment of introspection, she sensed that the actress from Sophie’s Choice, Meryl Streep, was picking up on their intense desire to triumph. It struck them as if they had communicated, “We’re almost there.

Bates stated, “I’ve been truly impressed by the path her career has taken and the fantastic performances she’s given.
