Oscars 2019: Lady Gaga Takes Home Oscar For Best Original Song For 'A Star Is Born'
The Oscars went ga-ga for Lady Gaga as the songstress-turned-actress took home Oscar gold for co-writing the song “Shallow” for the latest Hollywood iteration of A Star is Born.
Lady Gaga was up for two Academy Awards and took home one for co-writing the Best Original Song, "Shallow."
Lady Gaga (nee Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta), wrote the music and lyric with Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt, who also received Oscars for their part in writing the romantic ballad.
Lady Gaga, who also was up for Best Actress (but lost to Olivia Colman, The Favourite) plays a struggling singer-songwriter in the classic tragic love story opposite Bradley Cooper, who co-wrote and directed the drama. Lady Gaga co-wrote “Shallow” with her frequent collaborator Ronson. The glamorous actress, dressed in a stunning Alexander McQueen black gown, previously was nominated in the Song category for “Til It Happens To You,” (from the 2015 college rape documentary The Hunting Ground, which she performed live at the 88th Academy Awards). She co-wrote that with Diane Warren, with whom she vied in the Best Original Song category this year.
In accepting her award, Lady Gaga encouraged youngsters watching the show to follow their dreams and stick with it.
"If you are at home and you’re sitting on your couch and you are watching this right now, all I have to say is that this is hard work," she said. "I have worked hard for a long time and it’s not about, you know, winning, but what it’s about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. If there’s a discipline for passion, and it’s not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down or you’re beaten up. It’s about how many times you stand up and are brave and you keep on going."
“Shallow” earned the Golden Globe Award last month for Best Original Song as well as two Grammy nominations, winning the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Lady Gaga has sold more than 27 million albums and 146 million singles, and regarded as one of the bestselling music artists in history. She has nine Grammys, a BAFTA Award and an award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Billboard crowned her Artist of the Year in and Billboard’s Woman of the Year in 2015.
Co-writer Ronson has received seven Grammy Awards, including producing the late Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” album, and two for Record of the Year sings “Rehab” and “Uptown Funk.”
Onstage, Ronson praised his talented co-writer and gave her credit for the song's success.
"When you’re in the room with this person [indicates Lady Gaga], you don’t really have to do too much. She acts, she writes, she sings the song, Lady Gaga: we salute you," he said, bowing before her. "Thank you for this."
Rossomando is an American writer-producer, composer and guitarist. He is a co-founder of the band Dirty Pretty Things and other rock and post-punk bands. He previously co-wrote and produced with “Shallow” co-writers Ronson and Wyatt 2010’s “Somebody to Love Me” and produced Wyatt’s song “Harlem Boyz,” released in 2013.

The duet competed in the same category as “I’ll Fight,” from the documentary RBG, with music and lyric by Diane Warren. This was Warren’s 10th Academy Award nomination; she’s never won.
