KyliesChild 16,907 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The Academy Awards, or "Oscars", is an annual American awards ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recognise excellence in cinematic achievements in the film industry as assessed by the Academy's voting. This years host is Chris Rock The complete list of nominees for this year are: http://oscar.go.com/nominees Diane Warren and Lady Gaga has been nominated for best original song titled “Til It Happens To You", for the movie “The Hunting Ground" that is a beautiful song about sexual assault. The Hunting Ground has drawn some criticism for its reliance on questionable data and a lack of even-handedness. "Til It Happens to You," however, has taken on a life of its own — partly because the music video, directed by Catherine Hardwicke of Twilight, doubles as a public service announcement. The song became a Top 10 hit, and club remixes took it to No. 1 on Billboard's Dance chart. It works because it's scary, says Robin James, a philosophy professor who blogs about music at It's Her Factory. "Til it happens to you' — that's sort of chilling," James says. "You feel it in the pit of your stomach." Watch the video: Lady Gaga will perform the song at the award show, too; this is the second time Lady Gaga has performed at the Oscars, and the first was at the 87th Oscars and she performed a tribute for the Sound of Music. Last year, the singer, along with her stylist, Brandon Maxwell, went a more classic route, seeking to recapture the splendor of old Hollywood with a bountiful array of ensembles from Azzedine Alaïa, who has never before designed pieces specifically for the award ceremony. “Gaga and I talked a lot about this moment, how much it means to her, and how much it means to me both as a fashion lover and fan of the Oscars,” says Maxwell. “She and I have spent a lot of time with Mr. Alaïa in his home,” added the stylist, “and we really wanted to choose someone we have a powerful friendship with to share this moment with us.” As for Gaga, who has worn Alaïa on numerous occasions and last year visited the exhibition celebrating his work in Paris: “I’ve always approached my work with designers more as their muse than as a true collaborator,” says the singer. “When you’re a proper muse, it allows the designer and stylist to paint a full vision on their canvas and achieve a fashion moment.” The end result—for the red carpet, at least—is a shimmering frock filled with crocodile scale–like texture, exaggerated shoulders, and, naturally, a perfect fit. “No one does a silhouette better than Mr. Alaïa,” proclaims Maxwell. “Hands down, he is the master.” And it’s not surprising that the designer’s self-proclaimed muse of the moment agrees. “Mr. Alaïa loves the look,” says Gaga. She wore not one, but three pieces by him. On 2014, Gaga made an appearance at the Oscars red carpet and Vanity Fair after party wearing Versace. Aw, man!

She's going to perform last, for sure. You just know it. Also, I think they announce the winner after all the performances. (not sure tho) I'm going to be like a zomble for the rest of the next day. They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Gaga 21,891 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ok, so i'm not that excited. I've seen all the nominated movies (for best picture) and none seemed spectacular imo. Room is my fave i guess. Excited as hell for Gaga, she clearly deserves it among the other nominees. Last year's oscars didn't fall into oblivion only because of her performance, that was the most talked about moment of the night. If she wins, both Diane and Gaga will go to the stage and talk, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
