The Oscars this year are planning to only let the songs from K-Pop Demon Hunters and Sinners perform their songs, and the other three nominees will just get a montage mention or something. Diane Warren is one of the excluded nominees and she’s upset saying it should all of the nominees getting to be performed or none of them. And she told a story of how this almost happened before when Gaga was nominated and Gaga stood up for the other nominees and refused to perform Shallow unless all songs got to perform and that’s what happened. 

Here’s Diane’s quote talking about it: 

“Can I tell you what I did a few years back in the exact situation. The year Gaga was nominated for “Shallow,” and it was Gaga and Kendrick Lamar (for “All the Stars” from Black Panther), right? They were just gonna do those two and I was nominated for my song , “I’ll Fight” with Jennifer Hudson, and of course everybody was mad. The next day the producer called me and said, ‘Well we do want your song and Jennifer Hudson (to perform). And I said ‘Well my friend Marc Shaiman with the Mary Poppins song and the other people, I said ‘Well hell no. if the other two songs aren’t on I don’t want to be on the show. I took a stand, and to be fair so did Gaga. Gaga as an artist said ‘No, we aren’t going to be on if the other songs aren’t performing.’ And you know what? They put the other songs on.”

and here’s the source article from Deadine:

i love that Gaga is so supportive of other artists even behind the scenes and we’re only learning about this now three years later because of a random interview of Diane Warren.

Not sure but I think this was already known before. I remember a story about Gaga refusing to perform Shallow if not all nominees can perform, but maybe my tired brain is just making that up lol

It’s very possible I just hadn’t heard this before. But everytime I learn something like this I just love her even more which I didn’t think was possible.

This story was put out back in 2019. It was said back then that Gaga refused to perform if the other songs did not get the possibility

Also, it’s shitty of the Oscars to keep pulling this favoritism crap with their song nominees.

Yes, I remember this at the time! They fully announced that just Shallow and All The Stars would be preformed, and everybody was like ...what? lol

Then it was announced, oops, actually they'll all be preformed after all! And it was mentioned Gaga had put pressure on them.

Embarrassing that they're trying to do it again :triggered:

I have mixed feelings about the Oscars moving to youtube, but I'm really hoping they care less about making a "shorter" show and more about actually making it fun and entertaining

Sometimes I think about all the kind things Gaga has done behind the scenes that we can't even imagine, and it warms my heart so much :heart:

I remember that being talked here a few days before the Oscars. We knew about this so it's very nice to remember it for those who didn't know. I love that Gaga stood up for all of them even if she knew she had the lead to win it. That's of course the Gaga that we've known for years and still is.

I thought all the songs always got performed. I should pay more attention. But yeah, anyway, I think they should either invite everybody or invite nobody. And well done LG.
