She is still pulling #1 mega smashes despite allegedly being a fad for 10 years Same with the acting. She has one of the biggest acting careers compared to ATRL faves and that makes those ATRLers insecure as usual. They've been saying she was a fad since year 3 lbr. Longest running fad in history 1 2
Prodigal Self Posted Monday at 12:58 PM Posted Monday at 12:58 PM 1 hour ago, Punky Rooster said: Why is Lady Gaga's success in acting overstated so much by her fan base here? She hasn't won a major award (Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe) for any of her film roles, even Madonna has done that, yet Gagastains always claim she's a terrible actress. It's best to just accept she's mid at best at being an actor and a pop star, and enjoy whatever you like about her and not worry if people don't agree with you. Well that's not fair because everybody says that. Whatever is this dude, let it go 5 1

edutada Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Poor Lady Gaga! You should ask why little monsters always wants to drag others artists instead. Putting them down in every single achiviement like it's nothing, like coming for Beyonce in the past saying that she didn't get a solo hit during DIL/Perfect Duet Is funny that right now Lady Gaga is the only who only gets #1 with collabs. 9 6
Dante Silva Posted Monday at 02:02 PM Posted Monday at 02:02 PM I don't think it's a gay thing, It's simply because her last movie was not so big. If it had been as big as her other movies her acting would be more celebrated by EVERY demographic right now. Its not even her fault, most people know the movie was badly edited and produced. At some point in the future she will have a hit movie again and perceptions will change. Every career in Showbiz has its ups and downs - artists simply need to learn to roll with the punches and Gaga is doing exactly that. Without shade their would be no light! It's important Stefanie concentrates on her core brand of contemporary music right now!

Gladiator Posted Monday at 02:43 PM Posted Monday at 02:43 PM (edited) There could be many reasons: A) Most of this site only views success in the frame of charting and sales. B) I don't think the average user here really gives a **** about her acting career, or movies in general. I doubt many people beyond some Gaga stans are going to see movies just because she's in the cast. I personally view any acting project she commits to as an annoyance and a delay to her putting out more music, and I would bet many others here view that as well. C) I also think many people here view Gaga fans to be annoying and easy to rile up, which is evident in the replies in this thread, and mostly say a lot of things negative about Gaga as merely a means to troll them rather than any other reason.

HOG was very profitable and lowkey a moment in pop culture, what with all the press tour memes and award show looks. She pulled out the NYFCC win. I also remember a ton of straights re-creating the looks from the trailer for their couples Halloween looks that that year. But because it didn't light the world on fire the way ASIB did, it's retroactively lumped in with JFAD as a major bomb. Is it a good movie? Absolutely not lol but it did what it needed to do. 1

The critic consensus is that she & the acting in general was the only good thing about the movie. You can keep fabricating lies about YOUR fave's success, please don't do it for others. Imagine how tired we are. 1 hour ago, mathekr said: Is her success diminished or are her stans overstating her success with everything she does? She literally has A SINGLE successful acting project to her name. A litttle bit of both, if we're being honest. Thing is, isn't that what everyone's stans do? Every fanbase hypes up their fave. That's the whole concept. Gaga has a huge success to her name, ASIB, a moderate hit which she carried pretty much herself, HOG, and a megaflop which she was barely in despite all marketing promoting her as a leading lady, JFAD.

"Making a profit" is generally regarded as making double the budget (75m$) which HOG did (153m$) and that's not even taking into account streaming or home media. Also we'll not even get into the fact that it accomplished this despite being released at the height of the pandemic when Omicron was wreaking havoc on the entire nation

Zendayababes Posted Monday at 04:16 PM Posted Monday at 04:16 PM We're seriously discussing GG Noms and wins as if they're a serious awards show? Y'all should know better on an entertainment forum. Anyway gaga has potential and that's all that matters 1
Digitalism Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Because I have eyes so I can see she is very mid and I also know how hollywood works. A mid actress can still get awards and recognition if they are liked. See Selena Gomez 6 6

It's interesting that you left our how 1. Critics Choice is universally grouped in with those as the 4 main precursors, and she won Best Actress there for A Star is Born 2. You conveniently excluded her TV work, for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Miniseries/TV movie 3. Also ignored her Best Actress wins at NYFCC and NBR, both of which are major prestige awards, with New York being considered to be especially highbrow. 4 1

Honey... you have Katy Perry in your sig, just because your fave buys Twitter likes and Instagram followers since the beginning of time, doesn't mean that Gaga does similar things. Also, if we use your logic we can't trust ANY reviews ever, be it critic or audience so what's the point of any discussion regarding someone's acclaim? 1

Nice revisionism House of Gucci Has Best Box Office Opening For A Drama In Two Years Box Office: The box office goes Gaga for House of Gucci 'House Of Gucci' stands strong at the top of UK-Ireland box office Encanto leads Thanksgiving box office, House of Gucci has best opening for a drama in two years Box Office: Thanksgiving Winners and Losers, From 'House of Gucci' to 'King Richard' "House of Gucci (Nov. 24) Directed by Ridley Scott, the MGM film scored a five-day opening of $21.8 million, including $14.2 million for Thanksgiving weekend, both record numbers for an adult drama in the pandemic era. Analysts say star Lady Gaga succeeded in luring younger adults. Nearly half of ticket buyers, or 45 percent, were between the ages of 18 and 34, while 34 percent were 45 and older." 1
Popboi. Posted Monday at 04:48 PM Posted Monday at 04:48 PM ASIB is her only performance that was faultless, although not particularly far off from her own story with fame, so she basically acted as herself for a good part of it She's barely in Joker 2 and her role in AHS wasn't particularly note worthy. Thought she did a great job with House of Gucci but I get why it's so polarizing, and that leaves with Machete Kills that no one really saw so it's not like there's much insight on that. That's... her whole acting career, 3 movies and a few cameos in 10+ years aren't exactly "acting success". 1
