"I DM'd her last night," she told Variety on the red carpet. "I did. It was beautiful. I just wanted to make sure she was OK because, you know, it's a lot of attention. And she is A-OK." She continued her thoughts during an Extra red carpet interview at the SAG Awards. "I saw her that night, and I gave her a big hug," the 64-year-old revealed. "She, my daughter, and I have pictures together. So, we were really thrilled. And then, when I saw [the performance] come out and really take flight, I DM'd her. I said, 'I hope you're not at all bothered by the attention we're generating, my dear, because you're fierce, and I adore you.'"




"We love how everyone is having fun with it now!" she added. "Just having fun." Now, it seems like all those people that went crazy over DeBose's display seem to be concentrating their viral energies into manifesting an Academy Award for the acclaimed actress.
