'Kramer vs. Kramer,' 'Sophie's Choice,' 'Out of Africa,' 'The Hours' and 'The Devil Wears Prada' all have one crucial element in common: MERYL STREEP. The multiple Oscar winner was honored by The Film Society of Lincoln Center Monday night at a star-studded gala -- and, along with celebs like UMA THURMAN, GLENN CLOSE, STANLEY TUCCI and AMY ADAMS, ET was there!

Celebrating American and international cinema to enhance the awareness, accessibility and understanding of film, the Film Society has saluted major figures in the film industry every year since 1972, including CHARLIE CHAPLIN, ALFRED HITCHCOCK, ELIZABETH TAYLOR, AUDREY HEPBURN and CLINT EASTWOOD.
