Glenn Close┬аis setting the record straight on her headline-making moment at the┬а2021 Oscars. The actress provided one of the highlights on the show when┬аshe shook it to тАЬDa ButtтАЭ┬аduring a segment with Lil Rel Howery.

Close impressed with her knowledge of the song from тАЬSchool DazeтАЭ, and then shocked the crowd at Union Station in Los Angeles and audiences at home when she got up to demonstrate тАЬDa ButtтАЭ in its full glory.

ET learned after the show that the skit was planned with all involved, but that CloseтАЩs dance was an impromptu surprise. The actress confirmed as much on Instagram while reflecting on the legendary moment.

тАЬWe 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 тАШArgoтАЩ, was my gallant escort. Daniel Kaluuya and Darrell Britt-Gibson were wonderful table mates,тАЭ she began. тАЬI knew that Lil Rel was going to quiz me about тАШDa ButtтАЩ and all three guys helped me run through what I was to say.тАЭ

тАЬDarrell insisted that I mention the Backyard Band, on top of E.U., Suga Bear and the whole DMV. I googled тАШDa ButtтАЩ and watched SpikeтАЩs music video so when Lil Rel asked if I could do the danceтАж you can actually see me think of the video. That part was completely spontaneous,тАЭ Close said. тАЬDaniel, Darrell and Chris egged me on!!! It was ALL their fault.тАЭ

The actress тАФ who was┬аnominated for Best Supporting Actress┬атАФ concluded her post, тАЬCONGRATULATIONS DANIEL on your┬аBEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Oscar.┬аYou are completely brilliant. I now consider both Daniel and Darrell to be friends-for-life!тАЭ

Whether CloseтАЩs shining moment came with the help of a few friends or not, she made an impact. While speaking with ETтАЩs Kevin Frazier after the show, Angela Bassett┬аmarvelled over CloseтАЩs skills.┬а

тАЬThatтАЩs a highlight for the ages,тАЭ she raved.
