Lady Gaga's 'Til It Happens To You' Wins Emmy Award

Lady Gaga's song "Til It Happens to You" has won an Emmy award! The Diane Warren-penned tune took home the award for Best Original Music and Lyrics at the 68th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony on Saturday.

"I get to say my Oscar speech," Warren laughed while accepting her award. She thanked Lady Gaga for "being brave enough to work on this with me, giving voice to those who are silent, who are afraid to speak," and thought “no one would hear them. "You are not alone. We hear you."

Unfortunately, despite co-writing and producing the track, Lady Gaga was not credited by the Television Academy and will not share the award with Diane. "Gaga was very important to that song, I feel like it's her song as much as mine," Warren told paparazzi earlier this year and joked, "we're just going to break the trophy in half. I don't know, I'll probably get the ass part of it."

"Til It Happens To You" was featured in the documentary The Hunting Ground, which focuses on sexual assault on US college campuses. This year, the single became the first song in history to be nominated for an Oscar, a Grammy, and an Emmy.
