They were just looking for an excuse to shade Midonna

+ Ariana was an actress before becoming a pop star. Are they 12?

they're calling House of Gucci a flop 

[NUTELLA 13,718]

Okay, she did a passable job in this OTT/campy role, fine, whatever...

but I'm sorry... an OSCAR NOMINATION for this remains absolutely hysterical.

The next one will be funny, too 🫧

Again, she was great lol. I actually don’t even think her portrayal of Glinda was particularly OTT.

I don’t think it would be an insult to the legitimacy of the Academy if she were *nominated* lol. But again, I’m of the camp that the Academy often snubs good/great performances because they’re too “character-y” or “camp” and I think the Academy is generally needlessly pretentious about certain genres (musicals, horror, comedy etc.).

Agree to disagree 🤝

The costumes are award-worthy & the some of the songs are classics... but pretty much everything else about this event movie has been over-hyped/over-rewarded imo. The first one wasn't BAD, but it wasn't AMAZING either

I'm not even a film snob. But I roll my eyes when the academy hands out trophies/nods to people with a built-in following/fanbase in order to boost their ceremony ratings. There have always been elements of that involved, politics, etc... but increasingly so, it seems.  🎶 It's all about popular 🎶

 

 

 

Either that or I'm just becoming more hateful

I mean...let's be honest though. ASIB is undeniably Gaga's best movie. HoG and Joker 2 were both awful.

Yes, but her acting was not bad in those films. They were just poorly written and/or poorly marketed. 
 

HoG could be half the length and twice as good. And Gaga and Jered Leto are carrying so much for that movie that they should sue for chiropractic care. 
 

Joker 2 I actually think is good. I just wish they delved deeper into their individual psychoses and highlighted the insanity factor more.

I didn't wanna say it but I was like "...where is Gaga's second good film?"  

Mind you, I loved both HoG and Joker 2, but that's mostly 'cause I'll usually find a way to love her projects.

Except for DWAS  

And like half of Chromatica

Agree, but for me, the shade is less about Gaga than it is about Cher. Her performance in Moonstruck is honestly one of the most iconic and enduring of all time. 

I think Gaga is yet to have her true Oscar moment role. But it will come.
