The 32-year-old singer couldn’t help but get emotional during her acceptance speech in Los Angeles on Sunday. She called her co-star and director, Bradley Cooper, the ‘love of my life’ and shared a sweet moment with her fiancé, Christian Carino, before embracing Bradley with gratitude.
Passionate: Lady Gaga expressed her love for her co-star Bradley and their film’s director at the Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles. She lovingly referred to Bradley as ‘the love of my life’ and thanked her partner Christian as well. Gaga praised Bradley as a ‘magical filmmaker’ and expressed her gratitude for the amazing experience of working with him as both a director and actor.
She described Bradley Cooper, who was both the director and her co-star, as seamlessly playing two roles in her life – the love of her life and the mastermind behind the camera.
Sealed with a smooch: Upon hearing her name, Gaga sweetly planted a kiss on her partner Christian Carino.
Here’s to us! The group raised their glasses to celebrate two wins for the movie A Star Is Born, including Best Song for “Shallow” and Best Actress.

You were both my greatest love and my inspiration behind the camera.” She reflected on her challenging role as Ally, an aspiring singer in the emotional film. Gaga shared, “It was incredibly tough to revisit certain memories, but I am grateful for the life experiences that shaped this character.” Cheers to life and the journey that led me to this moment.
With tears in her eyes, Gaga expressed how difficult it was for her to revisit her past in the movie, admitting she was unsure if it was something she wanted to go through again. She dedicated her award to individuals battling alcoholism, mirroring Bradley’s character in the film. In a touching gesture, Gaga dedicated her award to those fighting alcohol addiction and witnessing their loved ones struggle. She humbly stated that the true stars of the film were not the actors, but the courage and determination displayed by those affected by alcoholism. It is not uncommon for ties to occur at the Critics’ Choice Awards, as proven by Gaga and Close sharing the spotlight. In a similar fashion, Patricia Arquette and Amy Adams also tied for the title of Best Actress in a TV Movie, delivering a heartfelt acceptance speech together.
