This Photo of Ryan Gosling Whispering Into a Tourist's Ear Is the Great Oscars Meme of the Night

A photo of Ryan Gosling whispering into a tourist's ear at the Oscars provided the best meme of the night.

The 2017 Academy Awards took a slight detour Sunday night when host Jimmy Kimmel decided to invite about a dozen or so tourists into Dolby Theatre to mingle with the A-List talent in the front row.

Tourist Gary from Chicago got to shine during the bit, but it was his fiancée, Vicky, who became an even bigger internet favorite after an image of Ryan Gosling leaning in to whisper something in her ear caught on like wildfire.

The jokes ranged from the Nicki Minaj/Remy Ma beef to Russian spies, and even some woke takes. Check out some of the best memes to come out of it below.
