Wow.
We had to wait for two hours into the show, but when it finally came, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper produced a show stopping performance of ‘Shallow’ at the 91st Academy Awards.
The performance lived up to the hype and in every way mirrored the movie from which it came in its epic and intimate nature.
While Lady Gaga didn’t win best actress because Olivia Colman took home the golden statue for her performance in The Favourite, she, along with Bradley Cooper provided the most memorable moment of the night.
The chemistry between the two actors and performers was palpable as they performed the song, with Cooper growing into the song after some early nerves.
