Lady Gaga won her first Oscars as the singer received her first trophy for Best Original Song! Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's smashing hit duet, Shallow, from A Star is Born, took home the Academy Award this year. Ever since the awards season kickstarted Shallow has been winning a lot of accolades including a Golden Globe, a Grammy and a lot more. As Gaga won her first Oscar which she shared with song co-writers Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt, she was in tears.
In her acceptance speech, Gaga continued to cry while she gave her powerful speech. She started her speech with, “Thank you so much. To the Academy for this wonderful honour. Thank you to every single person in this room. Thank you to Mark Ronson, to Anthony Rossomando, to Andrew Wyatt my co-writers, I love them so much. To my sister, my soul mate, I love you,” she said, as she continued to cry. Gaga also thanked her family and Bradley Cooper for the award. She said, “My family is here, I love you, mom and dad,” she continued. “Bradley, there is not a single person on the planet that could’ve sung this song with me but you. Thank you for believing in us, thank you so much.”

“If you are at home and sitting on your couch watching this right now, all I have to say is this is hard work,” she added. “I have worked hard for a long time, and it is not about winning, but it’s about 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 beaten up, it’s about how many times you stand up and are brave. Thank you.” On the same, even Mark Ronson took the mic and added, “She acts, she writes, she sings the songs. Lady Gaga, we salute you for this.”
This is Lady Gaga's first appearance after the reports of her calling off the engagement with fiance Christian Carino was officially announced. The emotional actress had a cute moment at the Oscars with Olivia Coleman after The Favourite actress took home the Best Actress trophy.
