Meryl Streep’s reaction from the US Open final has now become a viral meme. Quint NEON used the expressions to talk about the lesser known yet equally pertinent stories of the day.
Thankfully the shock value of each story is grave enough to fit in Streep’s reaction perfectly.
The tournament’s men’s Grand Slam title may have gone to Novak Djokovic, but the Oscar should go to Streep, whose award-worthy facial expressions in the stands sent the Internet into a frenzy. Streep was understandably stressed after an already intense weekend of play.
She even figured out that announcers were talking about her performance and gave them a charming toast with her beer, which became a sub-meme of its own. Which is to say, we were all winners at this year’s U.S. Open.
