"This is the Saturday Night Live sketch Teyana Taylor was working on when she heard about her Academy Award nomination. During her monologue, Taylor said "I found out the way every little girl wants to find out: getting fitted for a bald cap next to Mikey Day." Presumably it was this bald cap, which Taylor wore playing a funky grandpa who needs to throw ass at a wedding when his song comes on."
"Taylor was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Perfidia Beverly Hills in One Battle After Another. Her breakout role was mentioned several times in her SNL hosting debut. OBAA? Sure, but also dancing in the "Fade" music video."
"It got name-checked in her promo video, and her dancing chops were on clear display during this sketch. If the Oscars are thinking about doing big dance numbers in tribute to random shit again, they should consider asking Taylor to pop and lock a little. She appears to like to keep busy."
