Glenn Close Twerking to ‘Da Butt’ Highlight of Academy Awards Show

The 93rd Academy Awards telecast was a snoozefest, COVID precautions robbed the event of any spontaneity and over-the-top performances involving dozens of dancers and singers.

I slept through most of the boring proceedings, and the only thing I remember is an actress twerking to the Da Butt, a 1988 single from the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s film School Daze. It wasn’t a sexpot like Gal Gadot, Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lawrence who twerked her way into my heart and soul, it was 74-year-old Glenn Close.

The seasoned actress didn’t twerk apropos of nothing, she delighted the audience with her sexy dance after Questlove, played the hit single and one of the Oscar hosts asked her if she could identify the tune. We would have been impressed if the septuagenarian actress had simply identified the song, but to twerk to the ditty blew our minds.

It should be noted that Close danced with joyful abandon after learning that she didn’t win an Oscar for her performance in Hillbilly Elegy.

Thank You Glenn for proving that age ain’t nothing but a number, and that we shouldn’t let anything get us down. You Go Girl.

Racist Trump Complains that ‘Parasite’ a South Korean Film With English Subtitles Won Oscar for Best Movie

At a MAGA gathering of the faithful in Colorado Donald Trump complained about “Parasite”, a South Korean black comedy thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho, winning the Oscar for best picture:

“By the way, how bad were the Academy Awards this year, did you see? And the winner is, a movie from South Korea. What the hell was all that about? We got enough problems with South Korea, on trade, and on top of it they give it the best movie of the year.”

I’m not surprised a black comedy thriller didn’t appeal to the stable genius; a slapstick comedy would be more up his alley.

It’s not South Korea, a stable and prosperous democracy that we have a problem with, it’s North Korea ruled by a dictator with a penchant for firing ballistic missiles and testing nuclear bombs that we have to worry about.

Trump was pandering to his redneck base, he correctly surmised that they would have a problem with a foreign language film with English subtitles. What the hell, his illiterate base would have a problem with an English langue film with English subtitles.

“Can we get like Gone with the Wind back please? Sunset Boulevard? So many great movies.”

Foreign movies are anathema to Trump, he prefers a movie like “Gone with the Wind” that glorifies slavery and depicts African Americans as shiftless and dimwitted.

Trump wants to Make America Great Again, all right, just like the America of the Civil War and the Reconstruction era depicted in “Gone with the Wind.”
