Grab your Oscars, Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman are recreating an epic “RHOSLC” fight

"LiiiiiiissssssssaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA!"

With May December stars Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen would have been remiss as a host and a homosexual had he not invited his Oscar-winning guests to flex their thespian muscles in a Clubhouse Playhouse.

The acclaimed actresses gamely accepted, performing a dramatic recreation of a fight (one of maaaaany) between The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Lisa Barlow and new gal on the slopes Monica Garcia — the melodramatic results would make even Todd Haynes proud.

The way Moore draws out "LiiiiiiiisssssaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAA" is better than 98 percent of the films this year.

A little background for the uninitiated. This season of RHOSLC is great. The absence of one Jennifer Shah, currently incarcerated and palling around with Liz Holmes, is barely felt now that Mary Cosby is back, in theory if not always in practice, and the other ladies are bickering at a drop of (Vida) tequila.

The two most belligerent housewives, Monica, formerly Jen's assistant, and Lisa, have said literally the worst things to each other, making the relationship between Moore's Gracie and Portman's Elizabeth look like Sunday school. Mormon Sunday school, this being Utah. So the actresses definitely had some thick cuts of bloody meat to sink their gilded teeth into.

Cohen chose one of Monica and Lisa's most contentious encounters from episode 9, when the Salt Lakers come for each other during Whitney Rose's sound bath (don't ask) at her woo-woo jewelry line launch — how the world can handle yet another Real Housewives jewelry line is a wonder in and of itself.

With Cohen (slacking off) on sound bowl duties, Moore tells Portman she's "like a little tramp stamp" because she begs "for attention everywhere you go." Portman counters about how happy she is being "mediocre" because, let's be honest, Monica ate Lisa up during this fight, giving Moore the juicier part. The way god (and Todd) intended.

Meanwhile, if you really want to see these two powerhouses go at it, May December is currently streaming on Netflix.
