She failed to win an Academy Award on Sunday after being nominated for the eighth time for Hillbilly Elegy.
The actress, 74, twerked on live television to funk 80's hit Da Butt to the delight of the select A-listers in attendance during a segment about Oscar-nominated songs.

The veteran star was dressed in sparkling blue Armani with gloves.
And she astounded everyone with her impressive gyrating moves.
The moment occurred when Lil Rel Howery asked her if she recognized the track being played by DJ Questlove.
Close not only recognized the song as Da Butt but also delivered chapter and verse on how it was from the 1988 Spike Lee movie School Daze.
Even the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences, were impressed.
'Glenn Close, everyone!' they posted on their official Twitter along with a GIF of the actress twerking.
Director Matthew A. Cherry, who won the best short film Academy Award for Hair Love in 2020, tweeted: 'Give Glenn Close an Oscar for that, pls.'
One Twitter user commented in reply: 'There's got to be an extra statue around there somewhere.'

During the segment, Close also got beeped for using an expletive.
She said it was 'f****** outrageous' that Spike Lee's School Daze had been snubbed by the Oscars when it was released.
Later on Sunday night, the LA Times confirmed that the while thing had been scripted in advance.
Nevertheless, the night must have been something of a disappointment for Close who failed yet again to take home an Oscar.
She starred with Amy Adams in Ron Howard-directed Hillbilly Elegy and received a nod despite the film mostly being panned by critics.
Her previous Oscar nominations were for 2017's The Wife, 2011's Albert Nobbs, 1988's Dangerous liaisons, 1987's Fatal Attraction, 1984's the Natural, 1983's The Big Chill and 1982's The World According To Garb.
