Stranger Things took home the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series during Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, a moment that meant a lot to the cast who accepted it.

But it's Winona Ryder's facial expressions during her cast-mate's acceptance speech that deserve some recognition all their own.

While David Harbour gave an unexpectedly passionate speech on behalf of the cast, Ryder, who plays Joyce Byers on the Netflix original, stood by making every possible facial expression known to humankind.

It was art.
