Amal Clooney receives journalistic award from Meryl Streep | Celebrities

CelebritiesAmal Clooney’s hard work is finally rewarded with an award. The 42-year-old human rights lawyer received the Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award from none other than Meryl Streep (71).




She got it because she has been committed to freedom of the press for years. Streep, who called journalists “essential people,” presented the award during the virtual presentation of the Committee to Protect Journalists’ 2020 International Press Freedom Awards.

“She exemplifies the tireless struggle for freedom of the press and justice,” said Streep of actor George Clooney’s wife. “Not only is she something every journalist needs, a great lawyer, but she’s also a champion of the international laws that allow free speech.”

Amal accepted the award gratefully, but also jokingly. Because she probably should never receive as many prizes as Streep, but we both “married my husband” once. Streep played with George Clooney in ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox ‘.
