celeb news Gaga's Joker performance hailed as Oscar worthy by Warner executives

[SharonStone]

 

When it comes to what fans can expect from the role, the insider says that Gaga is 'determined to make Harley more than just a cartoonish screen character.'

'She was focused on mapping out a complex human being, battling grief, long-term trauma and a desire to find a soul mate. 

'Throw in the bipolar issues and you have one hell of an acting task. She pushed herself to the extreme effectively living in the mindset of this multi faceted personality,' the source adds. 

A Warner Brothers' source added that Gaga's buzz-worthy performance of Harley Quinn could earn her another Academy Award from early rushes seen by executives.

The insider added Gaga was able to communicate 'in a unique way' with co-star Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips that she was remaining in character on set. 

'It's no understatement to say she lived Harley 24/7 talking, moving and embracing her frailties,' they added.

'She communicated with Todd and Joaquin in a unique way informing them that she was effectively Harley on set.

'That commitment is something you rarely see in this business. It was her process and was breathtaking to watch. It is a very intimate portrayal, which will resonate with many people's battle with mental welfare.

'Without any disrespect to Margot’s appearances as Harley, this is a much more psychological adaptation.

'Gaga's Harley is an examination of the trials of modern day humanity.

'And on top of that Gaga also had to balance that effort while singing during the film.

'As one of our greatest live entertainers, she has always delivered monumental musical performances which have resonated with audiences.

'This role pushes that skill to a new level, where viewers pick up on the intensity of Harley's struggles, stress and oft deluded ways.'

[Edit0rz]

And now she has the overdue narrative because of the HoG snub. I can smell at least a nomination coming.

 

I wonder if we get any original songs or just gonna be jazz covers a la the filming leaks?

Warner is still on time to change Max for GAGA™ 

[Zoe_]

She's coming

[Somnambulist]

I have some friends in the industry and they’ve all heard Joker 2 is amazing. Don’t wanna overhype it of course, but I’ve heard rumblings of popular movies being bad behind the scenes before, and I haven’t heard anything of the sort for Joker 2 yet. 

[rzal]

If she loses again she should do some fun non Oscar movie next.

I'm assuming we aren't getting an album until at least 2025 tho

This is the first Gaga film project that I'm genuinely excited for, over an album release. Gucci and ASIB weren't movies I would watch otherwise, but this... 

[loveisdead9582]

I genuinely hope it’s true, but Warner isn’t exactly the greatest judge of quality. That said, it’s Gaga so I’m sure she killed it the script she got.

gucci and joker had the same metascore; i expect about the same

[Dark Miracles]

Imagine starting an Oscar campaign a whole 2 years in advance

 

Like wasn't the avalanche of "candid" on-set pictures that were shoved down everyone's throats already enough?

This lame attempt

 

Metacritic score doesn't mean much in the real world. Joker is still one of the most highly acclaimed movies of the last decade.

[Smarticle]

 ofc they would praise their own employee. Can't believe there's still 1.5 years left

[Freakshowvato]

Let's go!
