Look, Oscar shipping is a time-honored tradition, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emma Watson probably just set the bar at a new high. Let’s face it, this was pretty much the universal reaction to these two sweethearts showing up together and making eyes at the camera:

Sure, they didn’t really do much when they came out to present the award for… whatever they presented for. But look, we’re not here to actually watch people win things, we’re here to cast the fantasy rom-com in our heads.

Hint, it starts with JGL and Emma Watson having a meet-cute onstage at the Oscars while we all watch.

Get on that, Hollywood. Before this new power duo comes along and steals all our hearts for the second time tonight:
