Her fellow pop icon Rihanna, fresh off her Super Bowl halftime performance, was nominated alongside Tems, composer Ludwig Göransson, and director Ryan Coogler for the song “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Lady Gaga took the stage to perform an emotional and raw rendition of her Oscar-nominated song "Hold My Hand" during the Academy Awards on Sunday night.

In 2019, Gaga won best original song for “Shallow” from the film “A Star Is Born” and performed the song alongside Bradley Cooper. She received a standing ovation. Though the track ultimately lost to “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR,” Gaga’s performance was a standout for its bare-bones approach.

Choosing to skip last month's Milan Fashion Week, Donatella Versace instead sent slick, 90s-inspired black tailoring down a runway framed by the Hollywood Hills.

Lady Gaga delivered a 'surprise' performance of her Oscar-nominated 'Hold My Hand' from 'Top Gun: Maverick,' dedicated to the late Tony Scott.

She made her first on-stage debut in 2015, delivering a medley of four songs from “The Sound of Music” to honor that film on its 50th anniversary. “Hold My Hand” is one of six nominations that “Top Gun: Maverick” received. “So grateful for the magic of music and cinema.” Giving props to her co-writer Bloodpop, she signed off with, “I’m on set filming now big love to little monsters!” Writing this song for the film ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ was a deep and powerful experience that I will never forget,” Gaga wrote on The song got a surprisingly rootsy, rock-band production, as opposed to the far slicker soundtrack version, and was interrupted by whoops and hollers from a clearly captivated audience. The latter granted Gaga her first Oscar win, alongside co-writers Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and Anthony Rossomando.

"I think that we all need each other, we need a lot of love to walk through this life, and we all need a hero sometimes," she said. Before singing, Lady Gaga shared that the song is "deeply personal" for her, and that she had recorded it with BloodPop in her studio basement. I'm gonna tell ya," Weiss told reporters.

THR caught up with Glenn Weiss for a brief download about the heartfelt speeches, the five song performances and his take on the ratings conversation.

What we wanted to do was go out and execute a show that people would really like and a show people would talk about. That’s what we really hope to do with the show — get people to not read lists and that kind of thing and get them really speaking passionately from the heart. But it will be really great not to have a Zoom meeting first thing in the morning. She was really appropriate about the fact that this is a meaningful song to her and she wanted to really strip it down and do it not as an “Oscar performance,” but as her. The Oscars have kept us tied up for months, and not in a bad way. But we got to a place this year where people were really emotional and they did speak from the heart. That is the backbone of what Ricky and I do as producers on the Tony Awards, we really try to make the pieces become pieces unto themselves. The speeches were passionate and from the heart. We wanted to keep it entertaining, and we hope we accomplished that. He kept the show moving, but he also kept it lighthearted and entertaining enough that it didn’t feel all too serious. Happy with the winners too, and some really great moments and speeches. Really happy that the show went off the way it did.
