In case you missed it, Lady Gaga is now an Oscar winner! The A Star Is Born actress just won the Best Original Song award for the movie’s breakout song “Shallow.” On stage, Gaga gave an emotional acceptance speech to mark the moment. She started by thanking all her co-writers; Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. Then she thanked her family and Bradley Cooper. Then she spoke directly to other artists:
“And if you are at home, and you’re sitting on your couch and you’re watching this right now, all I have to say is that this is hard work! I’ve worked hard for a long time, and it’s not about, you know…it’s not about winning. But what it’s about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. There’s a discipline for passion. And it’s not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down or you’re beaten up. It’s about how many times you stand up and are brave and you keep on going. Thank you!”
