Why not blame the voters? They are the people who choose the winners and if they don't vote for the song just because of "annoying" speeches, they will lose credibility because that isn't how voting is suppose to work. Like a voter can say "Shallow is obviously the best song out of all of these, but Gaga's speeches sucked, so I'm not gonna choose it". They've already lost credibility since Harvey got involved 20 odd years ago and it's become worse every year. It's sometimes about the performances, but often about the campaigning and petty sh*t and sometimes they even target personal lives and get racist/sexist—Cuaron even said it wasn't fun anymore, and a few other extremely established names who can afford to speak out have called it out. I think she's guaranteed BOS regardless, but if she lost because of the speeches I woudn't blame Gaga but the petty nature of the Academy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of worried that Disney might be angling hard for Mary Poppins (they have Bette Midler singing it at the show). Well she just won Grammys and a BAFTA with that song/music. Mary Poppins tanked in terms of music and Bette won’t save it when votes have already been cast when she sings it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His win is so insane. Least acclaimed performance of the bunch (and even people who weren't nominated, like Stephan James and Ethan Hawke had more acclaim) in the worst reviewed film to be nominated for the Oscars. Furthermore, for all the women that have been dragged for speeches his are literally the worst I've ever seen because of how he keeps bringing up Freddie. There's a difference in being extra and over the top, and straight up offensive, and he falls into the latter. And I usually like Rami, but ugh. He's also hit up every single event and then some. If he was an actress, people would talking about how thirsty he was for awards. Like I get that it is usually not "entirely" the performance, but usually if the person wins off a combination of performing and campaigning they are at least pretty d*mn close to the person who gave the best performance.

True, but the fact that they announced Bette a few days before the ballots were due made me think they might be trying to do some last minute push. And Disney has a lot of juice as a studio.

mattbri 1,369 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 This is stupid. I have to agree that the first part of the movie is much better than the second part. However, the speeches thing is ridiculous af. I hope that Gaga is aware of this and when she wins she sings BTW in everyone's faces. If she loses, well, that would be apocalyptic.

metalguru 1,553 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Gaga's speeches... such miscalculation of our lady of mastermind. I can totally understand her joy and her sense of revenge after ARTPOP era but breathing heavily or thanking to God these are a bit too script-y and for years she had this strong and stubborn personality but now she is acting like a humble (and conservative) white screen star is not authentic. she could've keep it cool or go even a bit meta-diva but now the joke is on her and it is almost too late. i think no one would love see gaga becoming new bette midler or something (i love bette a lot!). she is her own wild thing and she has to embrace it. people are not freak out if she pushes the envelope a bit further for once more time. the beauty is a glam pop singer is now a oscar nominee. bring your punk spirit, Ga. Hollywood has more than enough established, safe figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asana15 16,648 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well, I said it before and I say it again: Hollywood is a place green with envy. It's a cutthroat business that exists on the schadenfreude and mob mentality. And hence, it's hard for them to award people who already seem to have everything.

I barely access this site because of people like you that are always posting nice comments about everything Gaga does. That's not the real world honey. Grew up and express your own opinions. You guys always pretending to support everyone. Jesus, this is ****ing annoying and that's why this website is flopping. First of all i dont that and second of all i just it found kinda mean of you to say that gaga should blame herself for losing an oscar because of her speeches because the oscar should choose the winners for their performance in the movies and not for their speeches therefore i found your comment very mean and unnessisary good night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickens in Malibu 7,873 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Guys, If you read the entire article, there isn't a single movie from the contending ones that they praise or say they'll vote for lol...

Why do you have a problem with her thanking God?? She is literally a Christian and she’s been open about that for many years so it’s not anything new.
