Lady Gaga and Liza Minelli Touch Oscar Viewers’ Hearts in Tender Moment: “I Got You”

Lady Gaga earned praise for her respectful interaction with Liza Minnelli at the 2022 Oscars.

Gaga and the Hollywood icon took the stage together to announce the night’s Best Picture winner. At age 76, Minelli rarely makes public appearances but according to Minnelll’s former publicist, Scott Gorenstein, “Lady Gaga requested that Liza present the award with her,” per PEOPLE.

“Do you see that? The public, they love you!” Gaga told Minnelli before helping her sort through her cue cards.

When Minnelli appeared to struggle with the sheets of paper and muttered “I don’t understand,” Gaga gracefully assisted her, saying “I got it” and took the musical theater icon by the hand.

“Good evening. You know how I love working with legends,” Gaga told the audience. “And I’m honored to present the final award of the evening with a true, show business legend.”

Then, before the clip package aired, Gaga was heard whispering “I got you” to which Liza replied: “I know, thank you.”

Viewers took to Twitter to praise the “House of Gucci” star for supporting the Hollywood legend without making the situation “patronizing or awkward.”

This is like a lesson in how to facilitate older people while honouring who they are.
What a class act by @ladygaga with legend Liza Minnelli.
The conferred whispers of "I gotcha" "I know" picked up by the mikes make it especially touching.pic.twitter.com/2JOWyrTQxn

Very sweet. How Lady Gaga was able to navigate the situation to keep the show moving and safeguarding Liza’s dignity was masterful and shows what a good heart she has.

It warmed my heart to see how considerate and caring Lady Gaga treated the terribly fragile Liza Minelli without robbing her of her dignity.

All joking aside, I hope that at some point we can discuss what a class act Lady Gaga is and how well she kept the Best Picture presentation going while still keeping Liza Minelli grounded and included without ever being patronizing or awkward. Just amazing. #Oscars
