Were you disappointed that you missed it? And also, back at that time, the younger me didn’t really feel like a show like that would understand me.īut then when I found out I won, “That’s crazy!” That to me shows how authentic and real that award is - when you don’t show up and you still win. Back then, I never even thought that I had a chance to win, and we had just performed “Lose Yourself” on the Grammys with the Roots a couple of weeks before the Oscars, so we didn’t think it was a good idea. I kinda figured maybe since I didn’t get a chance to do it at the time, maybe it would be cool. Last night’s performance certainly was a surprise - how did it all come together, and why this year?
His last two albums, last month’s “Music to Be Murdered By” and 2018’s “Kamikaze,” were both surprise releases, and last night’s appearance was a tightly kept secret: Sources say the Dolby Theater was put on lockdown during rehearsals, and that if news leaked to the media, he had the option to cancel.īut it all came off without a hitch, and Eminem got on the phone with Variety this afternoon to talk about how it came together, why he decided not to attend the ceremony in 2003 - and what he was actually doing that night 17 years ago. Eminem (real name: Marshall Mathers) has made a habit out of surprises in recent years.
