But 90s rappers weren’t the only stars to say goodbye to the stage. The scarab was also unmasked.
In the clue segment, as the camera panned over a small rocket ship, she revealed that her father knew she would be successful in Hollywood.
“He told me I was going to be a big star and that I was going to be nominated for an Oscar,” Scarab said.
And all of her father’s predictions came true – “even the nomination.” Unfortunately, he passed away a week before the Oscar ceremony, making the night difficult for the actress.
“It was hard to laugh in the pictures that night, but my mom and I made the most of it,” she said. “I’m sure he would have been happy.”
The Scarab then began its emotional rendition: cyndi lauper“Girls just want to have fun.”
