Lady Gaga & a Disoriented Liza Minnelli Had a Tender 'Oscars' Moment

\u201cThis is like a lesson in how to facilitate older people while honouring who they are.\nWhat a class act by @ladygaga with legend Liza Minnelli. \nThe conferred whispers of "I gotcha" "I know" picked up by the mikes make it especially touching.\nhttps://t.co/2JOWyrTQxn\u201d

\u201cIn a night where everyone will unfortunately remember the worst of this years Oscars, try to remember that on a hot mic, Lady Gaga turned to Liza Minnelli and said \u201cI got you.\u201d\u201d

\u201cI honestly think Lady Gaga should host the Oscars next year. It's clear from her interactions with Liza Minnelli (and others over the years) that she has great respect for legacy, which is what the Oscars need more of, and she obviously knows how to work a crowd. Lock her in now!\u201d

\u201cThe class, kindness and glowing #respect Lady Gaga showed toward Liza Minnelli made up for a lot about this nutty evening, and I promise you I will have a soft spot for Gaga for the rest of my life.\u201d

\u201cThere's a weird ableism in the "Liza shouldn't have been put in this position" takes.\n\nLiza literally says she is so happy to be here. Listen to her instead of projecting your own insecurities. I'm so happy for Liza. Let's honor our women.\nhttps://t.co/nDX3Avz23W\u201d

\u201cStill genuinely overwhelmed by the sight of Liza Minnelli, who has been regarded as a dotty laughingstock for decades now, being saluted tonight with the reverence befitting a once-in-a-lifetime talent who has delivered two of the greatest performances ever put on film\u2014full stop.\u201d
