She had just won the Academy Award for best actress. But Meryl Streep was soon brought back down to earth after being shown wearing a fake moustache for a film parody shown on the Jimmy Kimmel Live post-Oscars show.
The Iron Lady star was one of a gaggle of stars who appeared in the hilarious Movie: The Movie trailer.
Another highlight of the reel was a thigh-slapping appearance by Underworld star Kate Beckinsale, who was shown in bed following a tryst with Star Wars Wookiee Chewbacca.
Dressed up in a tuxedo for his high-profile show, which was the follow-on from ABC's Oscars coverage, he was obviously very pleased with what he had up his sleeve.
After talking about how the Academy Awards remind people of the wide variety movies on offer, he said: 'The problem is you usually only get one or two genres per film.
'Something that packs everything moviegoers love into one spectacular motion picture event.
'And tonight my dream has been realised. Here it is our gift to you, the world premiere trailer for the greatest film ever made, Movie: The Movie.

It features Colin Farrel's expert bomb disposal expert cop being assisted by a sports playing dog, who boots a time bomb high into the sky over an American football goal, whee it safely explodes and saves a cheering crowd.
The climax is when a disabled Nasa scientist played by George Clooney has to save the day from Gabrielle Sidibe, who plays an evil 'black Hitler' intent on destroying the world by crashing into it on top of a meteor.
Jimmy finally puts in an appearance at this point, trying to help the Descendants star push the 'anti meteor' button that will save the day.
In between there were plenty of other celebrity cameo's, with even top flight directors JJ Abrams and Martin Scorsese proving game for a laugh.
And the host's comedy feud with Matt Damon continued as it was announced 'we are cutting from the movie' despite his appearnce as a bunch of grapes.
Matt raged: 'Are f***ing kidding me. I'll f***ing kill you Kimmel,' before storming off in disgust.
Jimmy is famed for his the big names he is able to attract for spoofs, though t6he fact he was part of Oscars night will have given him even more pull than usual.
