Her life-like performance struck many as an out-of-body experience where we witnessed two artists and two Lady Day\u2019s merge as one. Billie spoke through Andra. Audra spoke to us. We were allowed to go back in time (not long ago) and feel the history of \u201cStrange Fruit\u201d and \u201cGod Bless the Child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional palpable upsets that had many social media users dazed and outraged included <strong>Viola Davis<\/strong> for best actress and of course the late <strong>Chadwick Boseman<\/strong> who seemed likely a shoe-in for Best Actor, which would have been well-deserved given his phenomenal performance in \u2018Ma Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OSCARS 2021 &#8211; FUNNIEST MOMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>On a humorous note, nothing was more endearing than Glenn Close playing \u2018name that song\u2019 with Questlove and Lil Rel Howery.
