Bradley 59,227 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've actually been thinking about this for weeks, and it sends shivers down my body. I know people are saying she's going to at least get a nomination for Best Actress but the possibility of her not getting it is something I've been actively preparing myself for. I don't even feel comfortable saying 'Her nomination is a lock.' Amy Adams was nominated for hundreds of awards for her work in Arrival and she was snubbed by the Academy. The Academy also has a tendency of rewarding underdogs that are less popular like Hailee Steinfeld, Gabourey Sidibe, June Squibb, Quvenzhane Wallis (who was 10 years old when she was nominated), so there's a possibility one of the nominations goes to Yalitza Aparicio. I've also just seen Elsie Fisher in Eighth Grade and my god she was brilliant, and her young age just adds to the impressiveness. With Glenn Close and Olivia Colman winning the Globes, and the fact that Madonna won a Musical Globe but was not nominated for an Oscar either, this just adds to my worry of the possibility of her not getting a nomination. It's also not the first time since a Disney lead actress gets nominated (Meryl Streep for Into the Woods), so it could also go to Emily Blunt for Mary Poppins Returns, who's also overdue as an established actress who has not been nominated before. Another strong contender is Melissa McCarthy who I'm sure you all haven't forgotten. I've already given six names as of now. I know this isn't really my business since I'm not Lady Gaga but I do feel like she's put so much hardwork into this movie, including the creation of the music and the character, and she was genuinely good in the film. She has been preparing for this film since late 2016, I still remember the first time we see her on a motorcycle with Bradley after having dinner, we had to wait until OCTOBER 2018 to see the film. We really don't know when her next major movie will be and we don't even know if it's going to be acclaimed and if it is, is it going to be received the way A Star Is Born was? Just see Viola Davis and Ryan Gosling who were both brilliant in Widows and First Man, respectively, with the right directors, writers but still are shut down by almost every award show, receiving little to no nominations. The Critics' Choice win also came slightly too late, like one day before or after voting ended for the Oscars. I guess what I'm trying to say is that chances like this are not easy to obtain, and I would really love for the Academy Award nomination to happen for her.

AndiGaga 6,805 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 She will be nominated. The Academy will not risk to take their chances to create a hype about the Show. And you only get that hype with Mama Monster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchHooker 8,513 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 She will be nominated.. 100% sure.. Winning is a different situation. We need DarkGa with Bops so we can rule the industry again and learn the other popgirls how to snatch 'em wigs to ultimate baldness!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipz 1,200 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 She was praised by the academy so much. We hope she's getting a nomination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnother 5,113 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 This is her first lead role in a movie. If she doesn’t win BA that’s fine. Even receiving a nom is an incredible achievement. She’ll have other opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderlanddynasty 715 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hasn't it been obvious since October? I mean the whole world is speculating if she actually gets an Oscar so we don't really have to worry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Campana 15,284 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Not nervous for the nominations. Nervous for the wins. The win-nomination ratio has not been that good till now. Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirages 20,259 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I think nomination is possible she's got a nod from every single award guild, I wouldn't count on win though. As of now I think the nominations will be Glenn, Olivia, Melissa, Gaga and either Yalitza or Emily. I'm the bitch that's fragile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncho 27,241 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I get your point, and I was worried about it at one point. But I think its safe to assume she will be nominated. Gaga has been in the Top 3 (along with Glenn and Olivia) so it would be a surprise if she doesnt make it. Anyway, I dont see her winning, unless she wins the SAG award, wich will be hard. Shallow will win Original Song for sure though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll want to ensure people are watching to the end to see what happens to Lady Gaga. That, and the fact that she deserves a nom. lol Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

nerdfacekillah 4,485 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 im very happy for all the awards she has won so far for asib. i think shallow made such a huge impact (that i actually never thought it would become such a hit) and it would be amazing if she wins an oscar for shallow. so i think its important to win an oscar for shallow firstly, because this is her first movie as a lead actress and even if she doesnt get nominated as a best actress, id be happy with the best song oscar. bradley cooper should be acknowledged for his acting and directing because he isnt getting any awards and it sucks. If you don’t have any shadows, you’re not standing in the light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
