GOING GAGA FOR GAGA
The Weinstein Company, through its subsidiary Radius, also is hopeful for an Oscar nomination for the powerful Lady Gaga/Diane Warren song, “Til It Happens To You” from The Hunting Ground.
Gaga appeared at a Beverly Wilshire lunch last week attended by members of the doc and music branches of the Academy and blew away that tough crowd when she sang the song
People clearly were shaken, especially since she revealed that she had been raped at age 19, giving the song a personal connection. “We actually wanted a song that sounded masculine, that was full of rage,” she told me when she came over to my table.
The multi-nominated, always-an-Oscar-bridesmaid Warren is hoping the eighth time is a charm for her. I would say a nomination is a sure thing, at the very least. “Can’t you just see Lady Gaga singing this on the Oscar show two months from now?” Warren asked. Yes.
