I think it's fair to say Oscar Isaac is the internet's favorite new person. While he starred in Alex Garland's Ex Machina before Star Wars: The Force Awakens, his turn as Poe Dameron shot him into our hearts in a very special way. Now one fan has created a new phenomenon we all can enjoy. Kate Stevens, aka @osccarisaac on Twitter, began posting as @oscardances on April 29th and quickly blew up. The recipe is simple, take a 30-second clip of Isaac and Sonoya Mizuno's bizarre dance sequence from Ex Machina, originally set to "Get Down Saturday Night" by Oliver Cheatham, and overlay it with any other song.

Oscar Isaac can now add "viral sensation" to his already impressive résumé. The internet already went wild for the scene in the 2015 film Ex Machina where Isaac's character Nathan busts some moves to Oliver Cheatham's "Get Down Saturday Night" with his "girlfriend" Kyoko. As if that clip wasn't mesmerizing enough already, Twitter user @oscardances discovered that Isaac's dance fits perfectly to any song from The Bee Gee's "Staying Alive" to Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." The account takes song requests then brings them to life, and almost every resulting video is perfection. oops i did it again - britney spears pic.

"In answer to your question, you bet she can f*ck." In this phrase alone, Oscar Isaac's character Nathan reveals more about himself than his beautiful new A.I. Ava in "Ex Machina." Alex Garland's directorial debut is less about the future of females, "Ex Machina" is actually more a portrait of creators and human men, who fancy themselves as exceptional men if not gods.
