And you wonder why she didn’t get an Oscar nomination …
The New York Film Critics Circle had their annual awards ceremony last night. Lady Gaga was there to accept her Best Actress award and then went on to deliver a 13-minute acceptance speech where she spoke, at length, about Italian art, her ancestors, Italian cuisine, Gucci and other Italian-related content.
“I’m Italian” Gaga said on-stage. Yes, we know. I just watched the full speech. God almighty. She even honoured convicted murderer Patricia Reggianni. You have got to see it to believe it. I guess she was trying to make up the time, given she won’t be delivering one of these at the Oscars.
Exarchopoulos will of course forever be known for her lead turn opposite Léa Seydoux in Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palme d’Or winner “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” released in 2013.
