Questlove’s Music Trivia Game at Oscars 2021 Ends With Glenn Close Doing “Da Butt”

Questlove DJed the Oscars Sunday night (April 25), and late in the show, broke up the proceedings with a game of music trivia. Emcee Lil Rel Howery tested celebrities’ knowledge of whether songs were nominated for or won Oscars. After Andra Day weighed in on “Purple Rain,” Glenn Close hassled Daniel Kaaluya about being too young to know the music of Donna Summer. The segment concluded with Close enthusiastically identifying and dancing along to “Da Butt,” a go-go hit made famous through Spike Lee’s School Daze. Watch it below.

Kaluuya won the award for Best Supporting Actor earlier in the evening. Andra Day was nominated for Best Actress for her turn as Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday, but lost to Frances McDormand (Nomadland). During the program, Questlove also shared a brief teaser of his forthcoming Summer of Soul documentary, which arrives this summer after winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. See that below, too.
