Lady Gaga is halfway to becoming an EGOT with nine GRAMMYs and now, an Oscar! The songstress and all-around iconoclast won an Oscar for “Shallow,” the song from “A Star Is Born,” which was Gaga’s first big venture into the world of acting.

 

The song was an Oscar favourite from the moment it dropped and was praised for her emotional depth and Gaga’s vocals. Along with Best Original Song, the song has other nominations such as Best Picture and Best Actress, for Lady Gaga’s performance.

 

Besides critical acclaim, the film was also commercially successful. The songstress thanked her sister, parents and co-star Bradley Cooper who performed the duet with her in the movie.

 

“There’s not a single person on the planet that could have sang this song with me but you,” Gaga said, thanking Cooper. She also took time to speak about the power of dreams and hard work combined and urged viewers to never give up hope.

Netizens also spoke about how Lady Gaga made history as the only person to win a Golden Globe, a Grammy, a BAFTA and an Oscar in a single year.
