Lady Gaga Is Now an Oscar-Nominated Actress & Monsters Are ECSTATIC
Mother Monster is officially an Oscar nominee!!
So the 2019 Academy Award nominees were announced earlier this morning, and while there were a ton of deserving Oscar nominations to get excited about, one of the names that stuck out to us the most was none other than bisexual pop queen Lady Gaga!!
After a stellar feature film debut in last fall's A Star Is Born, Mother Monster snagged nominations in the Best Actress category and the Best Original Song category (alongside Mark Ronson for the hit single off the ASIB soundtrack, "Shallow").
