Lady Gaga On Her Oscar Nomination: “It’s Not About That, For Me”.
“I have to brag about this one for a minute,” says Diane Warren recalling the Feb. 8 Oscar Nominees Luncheon in which she attended with her “Til It Happens to You” song collaborator Lady Gaga. RELATED Lady Gaga, Ennio Morricone & More To Be Honored At 2016 Italia Film Festival “Every nominee, from every movie was there. The guy producing the show (David Hill) stopped the lunch and said, ‘I’ve produced Super Bowls before. I want to give a shout out to Lady Gaga who sang the best version of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ I’ve heard in my life!’” recalls Warren. The Grammy Award-winning songwriter turns to Gaga, “You were on pitch!” Gaga takes it all in with wide eyed amazement, as though it’s all news to her. Indeed, Gaga excelled at the Big Game. If there’s one blemish a pop star tries to avoid, it’s botching the National Anthem at an event viewed by 112 million people.
