“Honestly, it’s not like I’m, like, ‘Hey BAFTA, let me in!’ They actually called me, believe it or not,” the “West Side Story” actress, 32,“But that was the assignment. Like, ‘Come celebrate women,’ and I was like, ‘Absolutely!’ We did that and it was fun. Not gonna lie, I had a blast.”
DeBose also says that the whole experience was “so awesome” and she spent the entire night “cutting a rug” with people like Emma Thompson.Ariana DeBose says she was told to “celebrate women” during the 2023 BAFTAs.Last Sunday, DeBose performed a cover of Eurythmics’ “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves” and Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” at the UK awards show.
The Academy Award winner also included her own rap, where she name-dropped all of the female nominees of the BAFTAs that evening.“Angela Bassett did the thing, Viola Davis my ‘Woman King,’ Blanchett Cate you’re a genius, Jamie Lee you are all of us,” she sang as the camera panned to each star in the venue.
The following day, DeBose’s “cringe” performance was quickly turned into memes and she became the butt of several jokes online. “Ariana DeBose has reportedly turned down a performance at King Charles III’s coronation. ‘Viola Davis is my woman King,'”
