Getty Images Life seemed to imitate film at Sunday's Academy Awards when Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who played a romantic duo in A Star is Born, steamed up the stage while singing Shallow, the song from that film that won the best-song Oscar. "I want to find someone that looks at me the way Lady Gaga looks at Bradley Cooper," wrote one Twitter user.

Something major just happened. After “Shallow” perf, @ladygaga & Bradley Cooper exited stage for commercial break. During break, they came back to their seats from stage then audience gave them another standing o. I’ve never seen that happen for any performers. Cue embrace#Oscars pic.twitter.com/k9wNh66tn1 — Chris Gardner (@chrissgardner) February 25, 2019 Return of Wayne and Garth Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party time! Excellent! The Academy featured a flashback to 1992 when Mike Myers and Dana Carvey took the stage and delivered some classic catchphrases from that comedy hit. The tie-in, of course, was the Wayne's World scene where they headbang to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody while riding around in a car. Seeing Wayne and Garth back together delighted nostalgic fans -- many of whom aren't fans of the Oscar-nominated Queen biopic. Wrote critic Alan Sepinwall, "Can they just retroactively give all of Bohemian Rhapsody's awards tonight to the first Wayne's World film?" "Wayne's World" is ten times the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" is. — Brian Schmid (@SchmanthonyP) February 25, 2019 Can they just retroactively give all of Bohemian Rhapsody's awards tonight to the first Wayne's World film? — Alan Sepinwall (@sepinwall) February 25, 2019 It's 27 years overdue but Wayne's World should've been nominated for an oscar — Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) February 25, 2019 Trump, and his hair Did the Academy Awards stage look a little familiar? Maybe a bit presidential? The swooping gold elements outlining the stage reminded some social media users of President Donald Trump's hairstyle.

With big name actors and industry talents expected to take home the coveted golden Oscar, music also plays an integral role in the film universe. To celebrate, tonight the majority of the nominations for Best Original Song will be performed by some of the biggest names in the game. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper will sing their hit song “Shallow” from A Star Is Born; Jennifer Hudson will perform “I’ll Fight” from the documentary RBG; Bette Midler will sing “The Place Where Lost Things Go” from Mary Poppins Returns; and finally “When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings,” from the Coen Brothers western anthology The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, will be performed by songwriters Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Kendrick Lamar and SZA were not in attendance to perform their Oscar-nominated track “All the Stars,” coming off of the Black Panther album. The duo’s absence is due to “logistics and timing.” British rock band Queen are also set to take the stage alongside American Idol star Adam Lambert to honor Freddie Mercury and the film Bohemian Rhapsody.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performed a stunning duet of their Oscar-nominated song "Shallow" from A Star Is Born at the 2019 Oscars. Gaga shared a photo of the two onstage on Twitter and Instagram, calling Cooper "a true friend and artistic genius." Gaga and Cooper have an amazing working relationship, with Gaga once saying, "I don’t know that I've ever had a closer artistic relationship than I have had with Bradley." In case you missed it, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper gave a very intimate performance of their Oscar winning duet "Shallow" at this year's Academy Awards. The Internet, of course, freaked out. Lady Gaga finally addressed her duet with Cooper for the first time, sharing a touching tribute to her A Star Is Born director and co-star on Twitter and Instagram: "Nothing could be more special than sharing this moment at the Oscars with a true friend and artistic genius." Gaga ultimately won the Oscar for Best Original Song that night, and gave an emotional shout-out to Cooper in her speech: "Bradley, there is not a single person on the planet that could have sung this song with me but you. Thank you for believing in us." During a press conference backstage after winning her Oscar, Gaga revealed Cooper gave her some important advice ahead of their performance: "Bradley said to me yesterday, right before we did our last rehearsal for this performance of 'Shallow': 'Let's just drop a little bit of joy.' And I said, 'Okay.' And it turns out, joy did a lot for me." Gaga and Cooper have had an incredible working relationship, with Cooper telling Time, "I love her so deeply. It's because we were at our most vulnerable together." Gaga echoed his sentiment during a press conference at the Toronto Internation Film Festival, revealing, "I don’t know that I've ever had a closer artistic relationship than I have had with Bradley, a closer exchange."
