Lady Gaga And Liza Minnelli shared a sweet moment on Oscars stage

Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli were the perfect presenting duo at the end of the 2022 Oscars.

On Sunday night, the pair presented the Best Film award at the 94th Academy Awards. Appearing on stage together Gaga said of the Cabaret legend: ‘The public, they love you.’

‘You know how I love working with legends,’ Minnelli, who was in a wheelchair on the night, replied, before calling the singer ‘my baby’.

Dressed in her second look of the night, Gaga dazzled in a black sparkly suit with her blonde hair styled in an up ‘do. Hours earlier she was photographed in a cream tulle dress.

Continuing her presenting duties, Gaga noted: ‘I’m honoured to present the final award of the evening with the true showbusiness legend.

‘She’s celebrating the 50th anniversary of Cabaret. Oscar-winning actress, Liza Minnelli.’

During the presenting speech, Gaga and Minelli held hands, with Minnelli breaking into laughter on numerous occasions.

While Minelli, 76, read her lines on the teleprompter, Gaga adorably lent over to the performer and supportively said ‘I got you’, before the Cabaret star sweetly added: ‘I know.’

If this isn’t the kind of feminist solidarity we needed to see on Oscars night, we don’t know what is.

Minnelli has shown her admiration for Gaga on numerous occasions over the years. Back in 2019, she told Entertainment Tonight that her mother Judy Garland, the legendary actor from films such as the Wizard of Oz and Judy, would have laughed at Gaga in 2018 film A Star is Born, which saw her star alongside Bradley Cooper.

‘She would have laughed. And then she would have gotten into it,’ Minnelli said. ‘I can hear her saying, “OK, let’s go!” Great to the end!’

The Oscar, Emmy and Grammy-winner Minnelli was previously asked whether she recognised that she’s a legend. She humbly replied: ‘No, I have to be told a lot.’

When speaking of her mother Garland, she said: ‘My mum was my mum. You know, other people think of her as Judy Garland. That’s Mama. If I get frightened, I’d look at her, and she would somehow know, and she would calm me down. Just by her look.’
