old sanuk 366 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Made me cry…. I remember watching Cabaret in a movie theatre in 1972, when young Liza blew me away with her Oscar winning performance. Gaga is an angel… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't have dementia. And maybe Liza actually wanted to be there for one potential last time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a great film she starred in. Are you honestly so negative that you think they basically kidnapped her to spend 45 seconds announcing an award at 11:30 at night against her will?

I don’t think everything has to be seen in such a negative light - the Academy has literally nothing to gain from booking unreliable presenters. It was Cabaret’s 50th anniversary, Liza is a legend and they got Gaga to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. There wasn’t any sort of dark ulterior motive here.

rasclautmangos 2,746 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Gaga and Liza were so cute together. It was sad to see Liza's condition, but she really looked happy and excited. Gaga was prepared and made the moment go as smoothly as possible and allowed Liza to have her shine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn’t have dementia she has residual health effects from a disease. And if you know anything about Liza, by her own admission she lives for showbiz and the applause and it would have been extremely in character for her to want to be at the Oscars to celebrate Cabaret’s 50th. And she even said how happy she was to be there on stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGOT2027 10,893 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 re the ratings convo happening: liza was a surprise presenter. if they wanted to use her for ratings, they would have announced her ahead of time so people who wanted to see her would know to tune in. again, she was a surprise presenter. end of story.

Oriane 21,000 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I just watched it and I have no idea what everyone is going on about, saying she looks like she has dementia and that it's hard to watch. She's just in a wheelchair, maybe shaking a bit as she talks but she doesn't look "out there", she's talking normally and reacting to Gaga talking normally, mentally she looks totally fine.
