Remember the Meryl Streep shouting meme? Of course you do.

This time last year, it was everywhere.

Here's just one glorious reminder:

For whatever reason, that old photo of Streep taken at the 2015 SAG Awards rapidly entered meme territory in early 2017.

And now, following the 2018 Oscars on Sunday, it's made an important comeback.

We've officially entered a new era of the Meryl Streep shouting meme.

Never stop memeing, Meryl.

Never.
