Glenn Close's 'Da Butt' trivia knowledge — and dance moves — impress at the Oscars

Glenn Close may not have won an Oscar on Sunday night for her nominated role in "Hillbilly Elegy," but she did win points in viewers' hearts with her hilarious trivia bit during the award show. 

During a game segment called "Questlove's Oscars Trivia," Lil Rel Howery went around the room to ask audience members about certain songs that Questlove played from the stage.

Close then proceeded to get out of her seat and, yes, shake her booty before letting out a big laugh and returning to her seat.

Viewers were quick to share their reaction on social media.
