Shirley MacLaine’s still got it.

The 82-year-old screen legend appeared on Sunday’s Academy Awards with Charlize Theron, following an appreciation of MacLaine’s classic film “The Apartment.”

Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre erupted in applause for MacLaine, and she rewarded them with a charm offensive that eventually made her a top trending topic on Twitter.

“Nurse, prepare the immortality serum for Ms. Shirley MacLaine,” one user wrote.

“Shirley MacLaine is wearing a sequined pantsuited [sic], the only variety of pantsuit not owned by Hillary,” said another.

There was also a lot of love for the banter between Theron and MacLaine.

“This is a 4-hour award show, and still I’ll never mind 2 minutes of Charlize Theron alone in a movie theater raving about Shirley MacLaine,” another tweet read.
