But in a touching moment, Ally grabs his face and comforts him. Cooper told Stephen Colbert that the gesture wasn’t planned, but it showcases Gaga’s acting chops.

Cooper and Gaga are both up for best acting awards atthe Oscars, and the movie is also nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Song and Best Adapted Screenplay.
The nominations came almost four months after the movie hit theaters in early October 2018, and Cooper and Gaga have spent much of that time praising each other and the process of shooting his directorial debut together. The actors met before filming started when Cooper made a trip to Gaga’s home in Los Angeles, and the two immediately bonded.
