StrawberryBlond 14,846 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 There are many reasons why I, and so many of us feel annoyed about it. I'd say mine were... #6. Losing to a singer who's only released one album and still has so much to prove in the business. #5. Losing to a Bond song when the last movie won the honour and the Oscars have rarely granted wins to anything to do with the Bond franchise, especially for 2 consecutive films. #4. Losing to a song that got mixed critical reception from critics and public alike (and some of the public really disliked it). #3. Diane losing her 7th nomination despite Leo DiCaprio winning his long-awaited Oscar after 3 failed Best Actor nominations. #2. Losing with a song about uncovering sexual abuse on college campuses when Spotlight won Best Picture, which is about exposing child sexual abuse in the church. But by far, the biggest annoyance is.... #1. Gaga was the red-hot favourite to win this award, as clarified by many sources AND SHE STILL LOST. We fans must have noticed a pattern here. Why does Gaga repeatedly enter awards shows as the most likely winner but so rarely get what's expected? Everyone else seems to do it with ease. Taylor enters music awards as the favourite all the time and she wins. So does Adele. Pretty much all the Oscar winners tonight were 100% expected judging by how the media determined the favourites. When it comes to the Oscars, there's rarely an upset because they're so steadfast when it comes to following through on what the experts predicted before the ceremony. Honestly, ever since BTW, Gaga stopped winning awards in which she was clearly the favourite going in. That Grammy for C2C is the only award I can think of in the last few years where she won after entering as the favourite (the Golden Globe doesn't count - she wasn't the favourite then). It just seems like she's jinxed every time and it's like the committees work against her deliberately or something. It's pretty much the norm these days - get Gaga to perform on your show to be a ratings draw and have the world talk about your show tomorrow but don't allow her to win actually win anything. I'm sick of this amazing, talented woman being used for ratings but ignored when it actually comes to awarding the talent that gets the people talking the next day.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have pinpointed the exact moment Gaga lost the Oscar and Leo won.

LePetitGAGABLover 21,234 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I agree with you, but with all the backlash that Sam has gotten, the Oscar was more of a bad luck event for whoever won it. I just hope Diane wins one in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the academy gave it to her or not, it's the public opinion that she won that Oscar regardless so it's all good. Her and Diane's hard work was recognized, their cause was given a huge platform, and she got huge praise for her performance. Not going home with a little golden token of thanks is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Besides, she'll most likely get one eventually 🌸Flourishing and vibrant🌼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainiac 10,932 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 It was actually Diane's 8th nomination. Even worse lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefamefatale 264 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 She's still a multi millionaire, and did a great job performing. It's not the end of the world. Be happy the song even got the nomination which is an honor within itself. don't be a drag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainiac 10,932 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I also have my theories about why Gaga and Diane lost. I think many of the old men voters in the Academy saw two women nominated together and immediately wrote them off. Just a theory though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
