Who said they loved it. Dec chirped: "I bet you've never seen a TV show before where somebody starts up in ordinary clothes and by the end of it they're in a spectacular dress and loads of makeup?"

Lady Gaga, who had gotten multiple honors for her performance as the scorned and scornful Patrizia in House of Gucci, but was pushed off the edge of glory when the Oscar noms left her out.I maintain that Gaga wasn’t helped by her relentless Oscar campaign, where she tried to position herself as basically a longstanding actor who occasionally sings. The video interview where she’s touting her credits for the millionth time—the Lee Strasberg Institute, the Stanislavski method, Circle in the Square—comes off like a parody, the kind of self-important prattle Meryl Streep never has to resort to.It was even worse than Gaga’s last campaign, “There can be 100 people in a room…”!
