Anne Thompson predicts more Oscar noms in Gaga's future

[YourEvilTwin 1,379]

She's always been a Gaga skeptic, being one of the last holdouts to predict her for ASIB and recently butthurt over her NYFCC win, so to have her of people say this actually carries some weight.

Also, good interview, worth a read.

The bitter ARTPOP era fan in me is loving all this praise after they sh*t on her and tore her apart 

[QUEENH 711]

They use her picture as much as they can. 

I don't really care what Anne thinks to be honest. She's shady af tbh and I don't think she particularly cares for Gaga as an actress. Another one undermining her honesty about her mental health. 

[Magui 2,628]

Eh...i don't care about that lady. But good i guess.

'No one has ever tried harder', she writes, and she's spot on imo. It's a huge compliment, although I'm not sure if it was meant as one. Gags couldn't care less I'm sure. She just gets on with her work.

I love how critics sneer at the idea of someone wanting to win an Oscar yet they obsess over who is going to win an Oscar all year..

I'm honestly a bit surprised Gaga gave an interview to IndieWire. Yeah, it's one of the big outlets (even if it's not on the VF/Variety/etc. scale)-but over the past few years they've consistently twisted some **** for clickbait from multiple actors. Sharf in particular had a habit of taking quotes of context slash coming up with insane headlines (I'm 90% sure he's the one who came up with his own headlines, which is not the case normally, because he said something along those lines) and tweeting it out.

Anne's the major editor, so the slow quasi-transformation from great film website into site that still has good content but hustles for clicks...was under her. Add in that she's a Gaga skeptic (I don't tend to view professionals as 'haters' 99.9% of the time and there are people who are more dismissive of Gaga...but she's still kind of a skeptic), and I'm surprised Gaga's team was like "okay, go do an Indiewire interview."

Yeah, this was...low key a tiny bit shady (esp. the bonding with her leading men sort of thing). But considering Indiewire has a tendency to go for clickbait as of late and Anne herself is kind of a Gaga skeptic...this is surprisingly decent.

Like I read it through and I also can't think of anything that can be twisted and used to slam her from non fans....I wonder if Gaga's publicist or Gaga herself decided to tone it down (she is sort of aware of sh*t online). Does anyone else see anything that people could run with?

I'm two paragraphs in and...

"A nonstop barrage of breathy interviews." "Having mastered what she considers an impeccable Italian accent." "Gucci family decries the film for degrading their legacy."

I can't. Lmao. I think I'm good with y'all saying this Gaga 'skeptic' was nicer than usual.

Lady Gaga has transferred her canny pop-star aura to movies and delivered on the publicity trail with a non-stop barrage of breathy interviews revealing her degree of commitment to her craft. No one has ever tried harder. She suffered so much “anxiety, fatigue, and trauma,” throwing up before going to the set, enduring hours in hair and makeup, that she needed a psychiatric nurse on call, she said, even if she never saw fit to meet her real-life subject, Gucci family murderer Patrizia Reggiani, who served 18 years for ordering a hit on her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver).”

What a spectacularly condescending examination of Gaga's commitment to performance 

I can't stand critics who shame artists for being passionate about their work. I'd much rather have someone earnestly throw themselves into a character than someone who's concerned with sounding cool and flippant about their work 

[Dennis 8,391]

Could it be because she had the chance to interview her?

[jimmytimestep 2,708]

Agreed that the interviewer was a bit shady but our girl was clearly armed and ready to slay. This is a great interview and a very interesting look into her process.

[RAMROD 109,618]

So is Gaga the new DiCaprio with her Oscars targeting run now?

Yes. I read stuff like the piece you've quoted, and I chuckle. Those who hold their nose, who condescend, their problem imo is that they just don't get it, and the joke is on them ultimately. People like Gaga, who constantly put it all out there, open themselves to ridicule to some extent. It takes courage and humility to do that, and you either get it or you don't.

I note, by the way, that Indiewire got a makeup-less Gaga wearing a sweatshirt from inside a closet, and I have another little chuckle.
