Liza Minnelli rarely makes public appearances these days due to her illness, but Lady Gaga was right there with her on the Oscars stage the whole time. When Minnelli got mixed up during her intro, Gaga immediately reassured her, “I’ve got it.” Gaga told the crowd, “You know how I love working with legends. And I’m honored to present the final award of the evening with a true show business legend.” Gaga also helped Minnelli through the rest of their short intro, holding her hand the whole time. Right before they announced that “CODA” was the year’s Best Picture winner, Gaga was heard whispering, “I’ve got you,” and Minnelli whispered back, “I know, thank you.”
Even though a lot happened on that stage that night, the moment was not lost on fans on social media. “I think Lady Gaga’s gentle respect for elderly entertainers is genuine and I think it says a lot about her,” tweeted one viewer. “What a class act by [Lady Gaga] with legend Liza Minnelli,” wrote another. Yet another person wrote, “In 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 ‘I got you.'”
