In case you missed it…
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper killed it at the 91st Academy Awards on Sunday night at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
The crowd began cheering before the two co-stars even began their performance! Walking to the stage straight from their seats, Gaga and Cooper put on quite the show as they sang the beautiful ballad “Shallow” from the seven-time Oscar-nominated film “A Star Is Born.” After they finished, the crowd went wild and gave them a well-deserved standing ovation, cheering until the moment they walked off the stage.
Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner recorded a video of the crowd standing up to give Gaga and Cooper a second standing ovation as they walked back to their seats during a commercial break! This isn’t particularly usual at the Oscars, but even viewers at home were blown away by the emotional and intimate performance.
Something major just happened. After “Shallow” perf, @ladygaga & Bradley Cooper exited stage for commercial break. During break, they came back to their seats from stage then audience gave them another standing o. I’ve never seen that happen for any performers. Cue embrace#Oscars pic.twitter.com/k9wNh66tn1
