(CNN) -- The Internet was made for moments like these. 

Clint Eastwood and his empty chair didn't so much detract from Mitt Romney's big moment at the last night of the Republican National Convention, as much as they became breakout stars in their own right. Romney and Marco Rubio still had their moments. Clint retained his Hollywood icon status. And two new stars were born, Invisible Obama and Clint's Chair. 

Those weren't the only OMG moment during the final night of the RNC. 

1. More crying 

"Is crying becoming a 'thing' for Republicans?" asked @libgrrrl Thursday night. 

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. 

One of Eastwood's most tweeted moments was his reference to crying when Obama was elected. 

"I just thought this is great. Everybody's crying, Oprah was crying. I was even crying," he said. 

U.S. Olympian Mike Eruzione got choked up speaking about carrying the World Trade Center flag during the 2002 Opening Ceremony, but it was Romney talking about single rose his father would leave by his mother's bedside every day that had most eyes welling up, including Romney's. 

"Mitt's tearing up talking about his parents! Y'all I can't even deal with all this crying tonight," tweeted @rsethib 

And then there were the weepers in the audience, some of whom managed to hold back tears long enough to tweet, like @ShoshanaWeissmann, "Loving this!!!!!! Crying a little and SO inspired!!!!!!" 

2. Homocon 

CNN reporter Jen Christensen spent time with members of the Log Cabin Republicans who were invited to participate in the convention platform for the first time this year. The LGBT group GOProud threw a Tuesday night party called "Homocon," that included go-go dancers and a velvet rope. However inclusion did not = acceptance. But let's focus on the lighter moments shall we? 
What was the 'thing' for Republicans?
