But honestly, ASIB, the OST (and “Shallow,” in particular) resonated more with me emotionally than any movie (or music) I’ve seen/heard in ages, and it’s honestly not just because of Gaga. I still remember the residual feeling I had the next few days after having first seen ASIB, because I was so deeply impacted by the way mental health and substance abuse were depicted, and had quite a visceral reaction to seeing it portrayed so accurately. I’m a psychologist by profession, but more importantly, the immediate loved one of several mentally ill, suicidal and chronically substance-abusing individuals (I can still recall, with perfectly clarify, being eight years old and hearing that the flight wherein my father was a passenger for an international business trip, was forced an emergency landing due to a suicide attempt on board—his. Unfortunately, he’s only deteriorated further since). Anyway, the movie ending the way it did only compounded the rollercoaster of emotions I embarked on as a viewer, with the formerly insecure protagonist, although obviously now utterly broken-hearted by the trauma of losing the one she loved to mental illness/suicide/addiction, nevertheless wrapped up the story not by focusing on Jackson's tragic passing (and “star” subsequently fading), but rather on a new beginning for herself, (with the final upclose shot of her gazing into the camera straight-on, conveying complete confidence and ownership of her pain, talent, and stardom), added yet another layer of emotion to the film for me personally, as even within the throes of tragedy, she nevertheless personally triumphed by finally having had the courage to go after her dreams, and achieving them, despite having been rejected repeatedly and facing substantial personal trauma in the meanwhile (which obviously is also a parallel to Gaga’s actual life, thereby making me even more emotional as she gave the “never give up” part of her speech). Ugh, ASIB honestly deserved Best Picture. Also, this post was conducted via speech-to-text, so I sincerely apologize for the wall of tangent that’s happening up there. I might have actually created the longest run-on sentence in history. This is beautiful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishGypsy 921 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 By the way, guys, when and where is that HUGE BACKLASH against Olivia Colman gonna start? Just curious, since I was assured a number of times that the public was desperately invested in Glenn’s win and would ruin the career of anyone else who took her lifetime achievement prize away.

imnotyourbabe10 6,101 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 What an encouraging speech, Gaga! Definitely an area of life that resonated with me -- finding that passion and pursuing it through discipline. Justice for Sam Elliott though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glittertinks 12,465 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Honestly Gaga has come so far I can't believe it When she won I was screaming and crying in like the middle of the night over here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic 12,177 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I woke up to the news this morning, and I couldn't stop crying. I'm so proud of her, and I'm so grateful, that Bradley saw the true star potential in her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,874 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So happy for our girl, she looked overjoyed. She seemed genuinely surprised (in a good way) when Olivia won which is better than her looking disappointed or crying, so that was a nice reaction. To see her holding an Oscar at this ceremony is beyond my wildest dreams. I'd like to think a best actress, or even supporting win, is in her future now. 4 hours ago, FinnishGypsy said: By the way, guys, when and where is that HUGE BACKLASH against Olivia Colman gonna start? Just curious, since I was assured a number of times that the public was desperately invested in Glenn’s win and would ruin the career of anyone else who took her lifetime achievement prize away. I've been wondering the same. I really thought the public was wanting Glenn to win and would be rather put out if Olivia did, so was surprised to see an outpouring of praise. The majority of cinema goers didn't like The Favourite, it showed up in data provided of post-film ratings, a huge dearth between the critics and the public. Definitely more a film for critics rather than the public, yet the response has been generally warm whenever it wins which is very strange. I thought more people would be annoyed at her blowing a raspberry and subtley giving the middle finger when told to hurry up her speech (which was overly long and meandering and she'd clearly not planned it). Mark my words, the academy will not like that. I even wonder if they regret giving her the award now seeing that reaction. When you get told to end your speech, you don't show disrespect and act like you should have all the time in the world. Gaga would never. Everyone there knows there's a strict time limit on acceptance speeches because the show is long enough as it is. That's why you should always prepare a speech that you don't deviate from to ensure that you don't get cut off like that and end up having to garble your way to an unplanned end and hurry off stage. They know what they're entering into. If anything screams fake, it's not Gaga's crying, which so many have been complaining of, it's acting entitled when you're told to end your speech that you didn't rehearse even though that's the whole point of going to this ceremony.
