“Wait a second, that’s Da Butt,” she said before getting up and dancing to the song.

She said at the ceremony: “Da Butt was a classic song by the great Washington DC go-go band EU… shout out to Sugar Bear and Backyard Band.”

Close lost out on the best supporting actress award, with Yuh-Jung Youn scooping up the prize for her role in Minari.
