[ # ] Glenn Close reveals how this years’ Oscar moment came about
April 27th, 2021 under Glenn Close, Oscars

This year’s Oscars was a complete bore except for one moment. That moment was when Lil Rel asked Glenn Close about the song Da Butt. Not only did the Oscar nominee school him on it, but she also did it for him.

So was that unforgettable moment preplanned, or was it completely spontaneous? Close explained how it all went down on Sunday night.

We had the MOST FUN at our table at the Oscars last night. Chris Terrio, one of my best friends, who won an Oscar for the screenplay of ARGO, was my gallant escort. Daniel Kaluuya and Darrell Britt-Gibson were wonderful table mates. I knew that Lil Rel was going to quiz me about Da Butt and all three guys helped me run through what I was to say. Darrell insisted that I mention the Backyard Band, on top of E.U., Suga Bear and the whole DMV. I had googled “Da Butt” and watched Spike’s music video so when Lil Rel asked if I could do the dance…you can actually see me think of the video. That part was completely spontaneous. Daniel, Darrell and Chris egged me on!!! It was ALL their fault. CONGRATULATIONS DANIEL on your BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Oscar. You are completely brilliant. I now consider both Daniel and Darrell to be friends-for-life!

So it was planned, but it wasn’t. Either way, it worked out brilliantly for everyone but Patti LuPone. Close’s mortal enemy is probably not happy that the actress was the Belle of the Ball and not Da Butt of all jokes
