Meryl Streep didn't take home another Oscar on Sunday night, but she did inspire a new meme. Well, it's actually an updated version of an old meme.
Last year, fans turned a screenshot of Streep expressing her admiration for Debbie Reynolds during the 2015 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards ceremony into a meme of themselves finishing song lyrics.

Streep was nominated for best actress for her role as Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham in The Post. She's the most nominated actor in the history of the Academy Awards with 21 nominations and three wins. And she knows how to update her own meme, which deserves a separate award.
