Cooper was not present to receive the award, but Gaga stole our hearts with her grateful acceptance speech. She also mentioned how much she loves that A Star is Born shed light on mental health issues.
“I just wanna say I’m so proud to be part of a movie that addresses mental health issues. At lot of artists deal with that, and we gotta care for each other,” Gaga said.
“If you see somebody that is hurting, don’t look away. If you’re hurting, even though it might be hard…find that bravery and tell somebody,” she continued.
