Lady Gaga was one of the big winners of the recently held Academy Awards when she won Best Original Song for “Shallow,” the lead song from the film A Star is Born, which she also stars in.
During the ceremony, she performed the song with her co-star Bradley Cooper. And let’s just say, it was electrifying.
Watch it below:
A Star is Born is the third remake of the 1937 film starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. In the film, Cooper plays Jackson Maine, a singer-songwriter who falls in love with Gaga’s Ally, a newcomer in the industry.
The film has been well-received with a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the review, “With appealing leads, deft direction, and an affecting love story, A Star Is Born is a remake done right — and a reminder that some stories can be just as effective in the retelling.”
It has also won several awards already, including Best Film Music at the British Academy Film Awards, Best Actress for Gaga and Best Song at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, Best Original Song at the Golden Globe Awards, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammy Awards, Smithers Foundation Award at the Venice Film Festival, and many more.
Here’s what standing ovation looked like inside Dolby for @ladygaga and Bradley Cooper after their “Shallow” #Oscars performance. Irina Shayk was first up out of her seat. Before Bradley walked up to perform, Jennifer Lopez patted him on back to encourage him. Super sweet pic.twitter.com/eF69IOYToY

PS. There are no hard feelings between Gaga, Cooper, and his girlfriend, supermodel Irina Shayk. After the performance, Shayk was one of the first to give a standing ovation and even gave Gaga a hug when she returned to her seat.
