Lady Gaga’s Heart Exploding Nomination

Lady Gaga received two Oscar nominations on Tuesday: Best Actress for A Star Is Born, and Best Original Song for “Shallow,” also from A Star Is Born. She’s the first person to be nominated in those two categories in the same year – and she is just a little emotional about it.

“I think sometimes people forget that even though this is a big movie, we’re all really artists that are like kids playing in a sandbox,” she tells The Los Angeles Times. “To be recognized at this level just makes the heart explode, because truly and deeply, I still very much feel like a child with big dreams.”

Gaga also commented on the fact that her co-star Bradley Cooper wasn’t nominated for Best Director, seen by many as a major snub by the Academy.

“At the end of the day, he knows that he’s the best director in my eyes, and in all of our eyes as his cast,” she explains. “I know that he’s so happy that we’ve all been nominated and that the film was recognized and we all feel really, really beyond elated for the recognition.”

Gaga was previously nominated for co-writing the song “Til It Happens to You” from the documentary The Hunting Ground.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga has been announced as a presenter at the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. She joins Angela Bassett, Chadwick Boseman, Bradley Cooper, Adam Driver, Sam Elliott, Henry Golding, Ben Hardy, Ken Jeong, Gwilym Lee, Rami Malek, Joe Mazzello, John David Washington, Constance Wu and Michelle Yeoh, who are also set to take the stage during the ceremony.

Gaga, Cooper and Elliott are nominated in the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture category for A Star Is Born.
