Cavadour 2,392 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Her acting chops are less questionable than the roles she's cast in. She's perfect in AHS Hotel because the Countess character fits her public image like a silver clawed glove. Even tho we could hope for the same with the Harley Quinn character, the Joker 2 debacle proved to be wrong. All in all, Lady Gaga, the singer is in total control of her creative process and narrative. It's not the case with movies and it's not really imputable to her skills as an actress. The strong identification to her pop star iconic persona might be a handicap and could also raise some drawback. That said, we surely don't have seen the last of her on the silver screen. That's good and there's expectation for better things to come. Late to the party but I got a diamond heart 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Disease music video, there's a moment in the car when she starts with "scream it for me baby" where the sum of all her bad acting is really shining in this shot. I love her, but she's not an actress, in ASIB she only shined when she sang live while filming, but in between she was pretty average. Isn't it screaming for me baby Like a poem said by a neydy in red Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 59,651 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Yeah I agree with previous posters, she's very actressy but I didn't really pay much attention to it tbh, it's not her main thing. I enjoyed all the films she was in (though I don't care much for Joker) Edited August 17 by dynamite Like a poem said by a neydy in red Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagini 2,505 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I thought she was great in House of Gucci. Pretty good in ASIB and Joker (though of course she had much less screen time for the latter). AHS felt a bit forced sometimes. I do think the comments here are a bit harsh, but it's probably much harder for us to see her as someone else since she is LG. That does get lost though when you watch HOG and ASIB, which is a good thing. Overall, do I think she deserves an Oscar acting win? No, not right now. But she gets better and better, and her rate of progress is really excellent. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagini 2,505 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I'm glad for once that the GP/critics are less harsh on her acting skills than fans though. Lol we'll take it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delulu Rogers 7,299 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I haven’t been a fan of her acting at al. It feels stiff and forced. I think she’d do much better in something more light hearted or less of a bigger than life character. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALITY 76,754 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 No, y’all are crazy. She is not a bad actress. She’s not even a mediocre actress. She is a GOOD actress. Im not saying that she’s going to win the next 5 Oscars, but to say that she’s bad or that y’all get “second hand embarrassment” from her performance is crazy. I think the only not-so-good role was in House of Gucci. The accent was wild and distracting, but she’s been stellar in all of her other roles. And she’s known to act in her MVs too, which are also great. I really feel like Joker did a number on y’all, because if the movie was received well, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

happymistake 76 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 the only secondhand embarrassment i get is in interviews when she tries to show off her HOG accent and it doesn't sound italian at all make the curtains cream 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidewalkUnicorn 35 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 She actually felt pretty natural to me in ASIB. I think it was objectively her best job. HOG was just a boring movie. She was the most scene-eating character, but that doesn’t mean her acting was great. Joker was meh. My personal favorite role from her is definitely AHS because the show was trash but The Countess was so evil and fierce and fun. I don’t think she’s a bad actress, but her musical ability is head and shoulders above her acting. And maybe that’s due to lack of extensive experience, but it is what it is.
