Infernal Paradise Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Not every single poor attempt in the thread including the OP getting clockedT fff Rude awakenings are awaiting, but for those who still think it's a cakewalk for any MPG to achieve similar levels of acclaim and success with their feature film debuts as Gaga did with ASIB. ----- It's not Gaga's fault that she's been able to establish herself as a bankable (keyword #1) leading (keyword #2) actress and can carry films based on her talent and star power. Being able to command a $12M salary with just her third lead role is literally no joke and the casting crews, directors and studios that are willing to shell out such big bucks for her clearly know more about what she brings to the table than an average, out-of-touch ATRLer does. She's been embraced by critics, industry peers and even the general public as a popstar/actress hybrid megastar in a way that we haven't seen since Cher, and no amount of essays will change that. The only ones delusional about her "place" are the ones who consistently feel the need to downplay her success and relevance in both music and film hence all the copium. Meanwhile, the stadium-selling 13x Grammy winner and butts-in-seats-putting 2x BAFTA/2x SAG/Best Actress nominee remains unbothered and will continue to give them double the reasons to fume for a long, LONG time. 10 1 1

Happylittlepunk Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Seeing a Britney stan negatively criticized a multi Grammy winning musician like Gaga regarding acting is so funny. When Britney herself barely has any musical talent much less acting skill lol. You really all you have to do is see who these people stan. And all makes sense why the insecurity jumps out and they can’t stand seeing actual talented pop girl succeed so effortlessly. Edited February 27 by Happylittlepunk 2 2

CoolNebraskaGuy Posted February 29 Posted February 29 This thread was a delight. The OGHs are out of their minds about Gaga's place in the popular culture. They so desperately want her to be BANISHED from the world stage. Their seething gives me energy. Keep it up babes! 1 2
dumbsparce Posted February 29 Posted February 29 Gaga will never be seen as an actress by any non-delusional person. She's a famous pop singer with tons of connections and ambition who's able to pick and choose her roles. Even if she never releases another song in her life, that's what she'll always be. And that's not the traditional come up of an actor who literally can't afford to reject roles at the beginning of their career or before they hit it big. 4
Pillz Posted February 29 Posted February 29 She's an all around entertainer. I think she's a good actress too, obviously not the best, but good nonetheless.
BrandNewBrandon Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Oh please. ASIB was considered a sure-to-be Razzie winner, so don't give me that excuse that it was a given hit. Most people expected it to not do well. And most remakes flop as well. ASIB has always been about the performances and songs so if those wouldn't have been good people wouldn't have turned up. She made the movie the success it is with her acting and her songwriting. But it's also super impressive how a woman who's only done two movies could be given $12 million for a role, the second most for any current actress only behind Margot Robbie. Her two movies have given her THE MOST accolades out of anyone involved. And that's with legendary co-stars. It's super impressive. 1

There's a reason she won an oscar for music though. Nominations don't really matter since in this day and age everything is about clicks, social media engagement, viewership etc. Ofc a Gaga nomination would draw in ppl who would otherwise never check for these award shows. Until these organizations give her an award for acting, she'll always be carrying the pop star "stigma" within their community. Edited March 1 by dumbsparce 4

Funny how to OGHs her nomination for ASIB was “just for clicks” and doesn’t show that she gave a great performance, but when she was snubbed for HOG it’s because her performance sucked. Oh well, she’s still early in her acting career and time will tell. Edited March 1 by TedLasso

It's laughable and childish how you guys label everyone who doesn't think she's Meryl Jr as an OGH Edited March 1 by dumbsparce
Bubble Tea Posted March 1 Posted March 1 The OGH never stop trying it huh. They've been proven wrong one too many times before.

glacier76 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Nominations don’t matter? I guess Glenn Close is not a real actress then. 1

Also, she's always been an actress so there's not much of a shock value anw when it comes to how her peers perceive her work. And they haven't reached rock bottom yet to nominate Taylor Swift. Why are you picking such extreme examples to counter an opinion on how Gaga's objectively good (but nothing groundbreaking) first-time performance in a movie combined with her built-in audience was the perfect combo for the academy to nominate her without risking any backlash and drawing in ppl who wouldn't necessarily care about the ceremony if it wasn't for her? Don't you guys say "yes Gaga, yes ratings" all the time? Don't be mad when that comes back to bite. Edited March 1 by dumbsparce

Phaunzie Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) Yes, she doesn't have the range like other actresses such as Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway or even Mariah Carey. Edited March 1 by Phaunzie
Funnyfatty Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Lady Gaga’s acting skills are not only about the movies she played in imo. Her music videos was also movie like. She showed the world with Telephone, Paparrazi, Bad Romance, Judas that she is a good actress. 1

No one is saying she is groundbreaking. Those people critique movies for a living. Meaning they actually know what they’re talking about.

The meltdowns when people posted all of the negative reviews her HOG performance received they've calmed down a lot, though. Early buzz says she’s good in Joker: FAD Please don't get it twisted; the film received negative reviews. Lady Gaga's performance was one of the only acclaimed aspects of the movie.

Yes. She very nearly got nominated for (a very bad performance in) House of Gucci because of that. Is she a movie star? Hard to say. She hasn’t carried a hit film by herself yet. But is she respected and taken seriously by the industry? Undoubtedly. 2
Princess Aurora Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) No cause she can act. Ally and The Countess are her best roles. Edited March 1 by Princess Aurora
