Gaga wins the “Best Original Song – Motion Picture” for “Shallow.” Here she expressed her heartfelt thanks to her co-stars and to her fellow composers:

“I just have to say, as a woman in music, it is really hard to be taken seriously as a musician and a songwriter. These three incredible men… they lifted me up and supported me. Bradley, I love you”
