Lady Gaga may not have won an Oscar on Sunday night, but her appearance at the Academy Awards registered as a clear victory.
Nominated for best original song with “Til It Happens to You,” her tune about college sexual assault from “The Hunting Ground,” the pop superstar unexpectedly lost to Sam Smith, whose often-disparaged “Writing’s on the Wall” became the second straight James Bond theme to take that award after Adele’s “Skyfall” in 2013.
Yet there was no doubt who came out on top as Sunday’s most effective musical act.
Why does it seem like people are trying to do damage control because she lost..
I mean get over it. Sam went home with his oscar, being nominated is an accomplishment in it's own right.
