Four days away from hitting the Oscars red carpet this Sunday (March 12), and as the stars who will do so try to answer the million dollar question (which isn’t whether they’ll win or not, it’s what am i wearing? ) news cancels a wish: Lady Gaga’s performance, since she won’t be present at the gala.
Viewers, who at this point, with knowledge of donkey may name each of the candidates in each of the categories by heart, Gaga is nominated in the Best Song category for Hold my hand.
Treat the topic of Top Gun: nonconformist, one of six nominations for the mega-grossing film starring Tom Cruise.
The normal thing is that the nominees in the Best Song category perform live during the gala. This time it won’t be possible.
executive producer and showrunner of the Oscars, Glenn Weiss, confirmed the news in a press conference held in these hours. “We have invited the five candidates. We have an excellent relationship with Lady Gaga and with all the people who make up her staff.
“He’s in the middle of filming a movie right now. Here, we’re honoring the film industry and what it takes to make a movie after a lot of back and forth… It didn’t look like he could put in a performance of the caliber we’re used to. with her and to which she is used to. So, she won’t be starring in the show,” Weiss said.
All other candidates this year for Best Original Song at the Oscars have been confirmed for a performance at the March 12 ceremony, minus Gaga.
In the tradition of the Oscars (most years), all nominated songs are sung during the ceremony. Rihanna (lift me up), Sofia Carson and Diane Warren (Applause), Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne and Son Lux (This is a life) AND Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava (Naatu Naatu) will all appear this year.
The new Joker is filming
Right now, Gaga is in the middle of filming Joker: Folie à Deux. Director Todd Phillips shared the first image of the star as Harley Quinn on Valentine’s Day next to the actor joker Joaquin Fenice.
She’s reportedly playing her own version of the DC Comics character as a psychiatrist who falls in love with the Joker before taking on his evil ways. Warner Bros. will release the film in theaters on October 9, 2024.five years after the premiere of the first film.
A message to the Academy
When she was nominated, Gaga took to social media to share her gratitude. She wrote:
“Thank you so much to the Academy for naming my song! Hold my hand for an Oscar this year! Write this song for the movie Top Gun: nonconformist It was a profound and powerful experience that I will never forget. Very thankful for the magic of music and cinema.”
Lending support to her co-writer Bloodpop, she signed off with, “I’m on set filming now big love little monsters!”
Bad news for Gaga fans, then. You won’t be able to see her perform live. A consolation: still absent, win!
