Lady Gaga, Oscar winner

The full trailer for ASIB premiered tonight at CinemaCon and everyone is raving about it. Attendees were blown away by Gaga's acting and singing. Predictions already for multiple Oscar nominations.

I wonder how Madonna will take the news?

The limo scene where Gaga is separated from Cooper by her handlers and crazed fans is another Oscar getter.

No dialogue is heard just the raw emotion of two people in love whose careers are going in different directions.

I was a kid when superstars such as Madonna, Whitney and Janet Jackson broke out and they remained big stars well into my adulthood. With Lady Gaga it’s been different.

I've never really understood the furor around Gaga. I don't hate her, and I like a few of her songs, but compared to Madonna at her creative peaks (Like a Prayer through Ray of Light) she doesn't really measure up. That is a fairly low bar by the way, Gaga isn't fit to clean Kate Bush's boots. Granted she is a step above the Britneys of the world in terms of talent (a fairly large one) and she does out of her way to appeal to the downtrodden, but in terms of her output it has steadily decreased in quality since her second album. She's like Tori Amos that way, though at least Tori had five very good albums before she started to lose the plot. Native Invader was very good, so it's possible Gaga could come back with something great. Not that Gaga is at the same level musically as Tori, but few are (I am speaking from a technical level here Tori is a musical genius, and her song structures and skill at the piano are difficult to rival.)

She can belt, but she can't really sing. She can't emote or tell a story through a song, that's why even Madonna and Janet can pull off a ballad and she cannot.

There is way this doesn't flop. The release date keeps getting moved around, and weren't there numerous reshoots?

yes, lesser ACTRESSES have won before. That's it, actresses. She's a famous pop star in her first movie. Even if she managed to get a nom, do you think they'll make her win against - let's say - Amy Adams or Viola Davis? You know, real pros who worked their asses for years in movies? Sorry, i don't see this coming. And i like Gaga enough as a singer.

Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne did the screenplay for Streisand's version, but they had a falling out with Jon Peters and parted ways. It's a shame because that would have been one hell of a movie.

Also, she's a grand elegant lesbian......er thespian now.

Madonna WAS robbed not even being nominated for Evita. She was brilliant. Yes the industry screwed her over in the only way they could.

Gaga is courting the industry in a predictable way. Singing The Sound of Music at the Oscars was part of the start. She's so versatile! Put her in American Horror Story - she can do anything. All of those press releases praising her. Such b.s. She's UGLY plain and simple. Madonna is gorgeous and was the original. Gaga is a used up sponge that needs to be tossed away.

While I initially thought this would be another Ishtar, I actually think it will be great. Early buzz is very positive and Cooper is a very smart guy (esp for a famous actor) who is absolutely ruthless in his pursuit of fame and awards, etc at any cost (hence his return to the closet). If he can’t direct, he’s smart and shrewd enough to surround himself with folks who can help him. But he can probably direct in his own right because, again, he is a bit nutso in his study of acting and film.

by Anonymousreply 167May 1, 2018 1:04 AM

She was absolute shit on AHS, so her actingvtrack record isn’t promising. And she is not winning shit- Hudson win in Supporting, same place where Mary J was nominated. Lead is different than Supporting.

Someone I know who at the test screening a few months back said Cooper gave the better performance by far.

I think Madonna gave her one and only great performance in Snake Eyes (really, check it out) because Abel Ferrara is such an asshole that he probably treated her like shit and probably fucked with her mind in order to get it from her. I think i even read a Madonna interview in which she said so. Directors being abusive (at least verbally) to actors to make them react is quite usual on sets (or at least it was. Visconti used to SLAP his stars), but maybe no one before dared to to that to Madonna.

by Anonymousreply 176May 1, 2018 12:11 PM

Madonna will never be a decent actress because there is no “there” there. She’s hollow at the core. She fared well enough in Evita- I liked her dancing - because she was playing a one-dimensional rendering of a real person, a cypher whom everybody else defined.

by Anonymousreply 179May 1, 2018 2:12 PM

To be a convincing actress, you need to convey vulnerability, and Madonna is the least vulnerable person on the planet. The audience never rooted for her.

Streisand, Garland and Doris Day were able to successfully transition from singer to actress because you wanted to root for them and protect them. Gaga has some vulnerability, so we'll see if it conveys onscreen.

by Anonymousreply 180May 1, 2018 4:59 PM

I like Gaga but to say that she's winning the Oscar based from the trailer is laughable. I want to be proven wrong though. But it's realistic that she might get one for best song. I agree that the Academy seems to be quite fond of her (same with Beyonce).

Madonna cannot act. Never seen Gaga on AHS but she's supposed to be mediocre. She's like the obnoxious kid in high school who scored well on her PSAT. She's sitting next to the quiet kid who got early acceptance to Harvard and is telling him how brilliant she is. Just exhausting.

Yes. R197 you mean the remake of Swept Away that Guy Richie directed. So Madonna has had everyone from Woody Allan to Sean Penn to Guy Richie direct her. In everything from cameos to staring. IMDb lists 95 acting roles. I counted 24 roles where she doesn't play herself. 24 opportunities to show she could act on film. She can't.

Sean Penn has had his ass kissed by fellow CAA pony Coop for some time now they've become good friends. Coop sucks up to him, went to his book launch, they go to dinner etc...... Penn telling people how good this movie is should not be taken as anything other than garbage. Coop's an ass kisser plain and simple. He appeals to big stars and their egos by telling them how much he loves and admires them and they inevitably become friendly with him. De Niro, Leo, Penn.
