Lady Gaga Praises 'Best Director' Bradley Cooper

Lady Gaga has paid tribute to Bradley Cooper as the "best director in her eyes" after he was left off the shortlist for the Academy Award for his debut film 'A Star Is Born'.

The singer and actress hailed his talent behind the camera, on the movie which earned a total of eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.

Gaga insists that she and the rest of the cast all appreciate what the 44-year-old inspired them to achieve on the musical drama, which is a remake on the 1937 movie of the same name.

She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "Well, you never know what's going to happen, but at the end of the day, he knows that he's the best director in my eyes and in all of our eyes as his cast. I know that he's so happy that we've all been nominated and that the film was recognised and we all feel really, really beyond elated for the recognition."

Although he missed out for Best Director, Bradley is up for the Best Actor accolade for his performance as Jack Maine, whilst Gaga is up for Best Actress for her portrayal of singer Ally Maine, as well as for Best Original Song for 'Shallow' which she co-wrote with Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt.

The actor has missed out on the Best Actor Oscar twice before, but didn't seem too disappointed by the snub and is "so grateful" for the recognition the movie has received.

He said: "Everyone who worked on this film truly risked putting themselves out there, in the hope that in doing so people will connect and feel something deep and personal - the way films have made me feel since I was a kid.

"When I got this opportunity I knew I had to risk it all because I may never get another chance. So to be here today in a place where people who have seen the film are talking about how it makes them feel, something deep, that simple human thing, that we need each other, and for the Academy to recognise that I just am so grateful."

The 91st Academy Awards take place on February 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
