Last night's Academy Awards had something for everyone -- love for creature features, positive steps toward representation in the industry, and a stealth Shrek cosplay.

Meryl Streep, who was among the nominees for Best Actress for her role in The Post, went to the event in a red Christian Dior dress, glasses, and her hair pulled back. And as some viewers quickly realized, that made Meryl look a lot like The Fairy Godmother (voiced by Jennifer Saunders), the main antagonist from Shrek 2.

As you would expect, fans got pretty creative after realizing this parallel, particularly through a series of witty tweets. Here's a round-up of those responses.
