That Spontaneous Oscars Moment

[Blind Gossip] The Oscars telecast last night may not have been the most upbeat, fun, or even entertaining show we’ve ever seen.

BUT… there were a couple of bright spots.

Let’s talk about one of them!

While many may be congratulating [actress] on her impromptu performance during the Academy Awards, it was not.

She was not being clever or “woke” on her own. The producers worked with her in advance on the bit. She was given lines and they did a very short rehearsal to block it. It was a cute bit, but that’s all it was.

“Blocking” is when you plan in advance how the performer will move on the set so the camera can get the best shot.

So was that actually a fun spontaneous moment? Not even close. It was scripted, staged, and even rehearsed.

Oh, well.

Hey, even if our actress didn’t win, she wasn’t going to be ignored!

    What was Glenn Close thinking? This may well have been the last Oscar nomination of her career and this is what she’s going to be remembered for? What a shame.

  2. whiskers says

    The actress being referred to is Glenn Close. The only spontaneous moment that has been replayed over and over again was her 30 second dance.

    The reference to the actress not being ignored is a line from FATAL ATTRACTION.

  3. Dana5570 says

    Actress: Glenn Close. I knew when I was watching it that it was rehearsed and she was a really bad actress reciting the background of that song.
    Clues: Not even close and she won’t be ignored.
    Optional: No. I used to watch awards shows all the time. Now, I could care less. I thought they had already been given out, honestly.

    Glenn’s moment may have been scripted, but she’s still aces in my book for being willing to play along. There are plenty actors half her age who would’ve refused. Good for her!

  6. kellyp says

    Glenn Close and that whatever she did.

    Can’t really say anything about the show because I didn’t watch. Nobody else did either!

    The Academy became dead to me when they refused to give Andy Serkis anything for his excellent work in multiple films (LOTR, but also Caesar in Planet of the Apes was amazing).

  7. letinstar says

    Glenn Close. Although I choose believe she cool and fun.

    Clues: “Not even close” and “Hey, even if our actress didn’t win, she wasn’t going to be ignored!”

  8. lila8245 says

    Glenn Close. “She wasn’t going to be ignored!” (Famous line from her film, Fatal Attraction)

    I didn’t see most of the films nominated- only “Borat” “Trial of Chicago 7” “Black Judas” and “Hillbilly Elegy”, so didn’t think there was much of a point in watching. Apparently, most people felt the same way this year.

  11. abbygee says

    Glenn Close. I knew it!!! That little stunt looked staged from the beginning. So glad you wrote about this!

  16. antisocialwonder says

    I didn’t even watch the show and I know this is Glenn Close and her ridiculous booty dance. 🙄 We’re done even pretending there is any professionalism in Hollywood anymore, huh? These people have zero shame. Not surprised it was set up. I don’t watch because that * is rigged and always has been. Every year it’s the same thing. Egos patting egos on the back and films winning that no average person has seen. I only watch awards where the audience that PAYS to see them vote.

  19. spoonerism says

    Actress: Glenn Close doing “Da Butt”. Love her, but seriously? C’mon.

    Clues: BUT…; “not going to be ignored” (from “Fatal Attraction”, of course)

  21. jrgius says

    Glen Close 100%, I thought at the time the lyrics were right in front of her. It was a fun moment but clearly planned and rehearsed in advance.

  25. CheetoFingerz says

    Glenn Close

    Clue: ignored

    You couldn’t pay me to watch that WokeFest. Parade of Narcissists, Virtue Signaling , *.

    To quote Ricky Gervais, “come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God and then * off.”

    The Glenn Close Twerk thing was in the news.

  27. VegetableLasagna says

    Glenn Close and her “da butt” dance
    “not even close”
    I have never watched the Oscars.

  30. parkland45 says

    Glenn Close.
    Didn’t watch cause I haven’t seen any of the movies yet. But I’m so glad Frances Mc., won as well as Nomadland. I can’t wait to see it.

  33. mrw222 says

    Glenn Close
    Clue: Not even “Close” and “won’t be ignored” a line from Fatal Attraction.

  35. ChristineNYC says

    Actress: Glenn Close, doing “Da Butt”

    Clue: “Ignored”, Not even “Close”

    Show was ok. Boring really. And we could do without political comments – entertainment isn’t entertainment when people all stand on soap boxes. I want to be distracted from life and entertained, not preached at. We are all capable of making our own decisions.

  38. amagod121 says

    Glen Close

    Not even close = Glen Close’s last name.

    Optnl: my ooinion? Wokeism has to go!

  40. ILUVCA4evr says

    Actress: Glenn Close

    Clues: ‘She won’t be IGNORED’–Line from Fatal Attraction. A movie that still freaks me out to this day. Only because I lived something very similar to this….ugh.

    [Optional] What did you think of the show? Didn’t watch it. Don’t care. It’s all too political for many years. Booooringggg!!!!

  42. Daisy27 says

    Close? Glenn Close i would think..saw the pictures moving her behind, even the pic was boring

  43. High Steppa says

    Glenn Close (“I won’t be ignored, Dan!!”) It was obviously scripted. Wish she would have won.

  44. Gerseychick says

    Glenn Close shaking her butt…Pretty lame for such a Great Actress..She should have won the Oscar ……..

  46. mel1313 says

    Glenn Close and “Da Butt”.

    Show was underwhelming. Most attendees looked frumpy or cartoonish, and to whiz through the In Memorium segment at light speed was disrespectful.

  47. cassadaga says

    Glenn Close

    She was nominated but didn’t win. She was talking about Da Butt, giving a shot out to the artists and saying it was an “f-ing tragedy” the song wasn’t nominated.

  52. mbscott24 says

    Glenn Close “even though she didn’t win” 8 time nominee, no wins.
    Scripted but she fooled me – I thought it looked real until I read about the “script” and the “blocking.” the next morning. Oh well, getting attention (in spite of her loss) – that’s what an actor lives for!!

  55. kavanah says

    Glenn Close

    Clues: “not even Close”
    “ I will not be ignored”. Her line to M Douglas in Fatal Attraction

  56. allegoriedesoie says

    Actress: Glenn Close and her “dance” that everyone and their mom is raving about on Twitter.

    Clues: “not even close”—although, I’m sure there’s more haha

  57. wfreshie says

    not even “close” !! glenn close knowing the name of that obscure song and twerking to it!

  60. HotTeacher88 says

    Glenn Close. So obvious! No way she was up on all that “School Daze” knowledge!!

  63. Lby54229 says

    Glenn Close

    I will not be ignored, Dan!

    I didn’t watch it. I haven’t watched it in years.

  73. omgimbackagain says

    Glenn Close twerking

    Not even close; will not be ignored

    I thought it looked cozy. I liked the little Oscar lamps on the tables.

  74. montebell says

    Read about Glenn Close dancing to some song. Haven’t watched the show for years. Too political, long and not funny.

  75. beachchick218 says

    I have no idea because I didn’t watch it. I heard the ratings were in the tank, so I guess it’s true. You go woke, you go broke.

  76. crazycatlady says

    Glenn Close

    Clue: She wasn’t going to be ignored. From her movie Fatal Attraction.

    One of the most boring Oscars ever. The intros & speeches were way too long.

  78. churchlady says

    Glenn Close. Nominated eight times for an Oscar, but never won one. Her whole schtick last night with “Da Butt” was rehearsed, blocked, etc.

  85. elliedee says

    Actress: Glenn Close

    Clues: “not even close”, “not going to be ignored”

    [Optional] What did you think of the show?
    rather boring, I finally gave up and went to bed before the last 3 biggest awards were given out

  88. zappy2050 says

    I think this is Glenn Close.
    My husband said there was no way she knew all of that about the Butt song. My husband said it was one of his favorite songs and he didn’t know all of that.
    It was a funny moment though – and she played it well.

  93. RRRRRC says

    That painful to watch bit with Glenn Close?

    The whole show was show bad it made me look forward to the “in Memoriam” segment!

  94. Baileygirl says

    Glen Close. “I’m not going to be ignored.”-Clue from that adultery movie with Michael Douglas.
