There was just one moment that people were talking about in addition to that infamous slap at last year’s Oscars, and that was Lady Gaga graciously supporting Liza Minnelli through a rare public appearance.
The two appeared together onstage at the 2022 Academy Awards to announce the Best Picture winner, and viewers were in awe of the “considerate and caring” way that Gaga guided Liza, who at times appeared to be unsure on what to do.
The singer held Liza’s hand as she expertly moved the segment along. At one point, a sweet private exchange was picked up by their microphones and Gaga was heard whispering to the star: “I got you.”
Best part of the #Oscars2022 was hearing #Ladygaga tell #LizaMinnelli, “I got you.” And Liza responding, “I know.” That is love. Two queens!👸🏼👸🏻 Love wins!❤️
She won high praise for “safeguarding Liza’s dignity” at the time, with one person tweeting: “I hope that at some point we can discuss what a class act Lady Gaga is and how well she kept the Best Picture presentation going while still keeping Liza Minnelli grounded and included without ever being patronizing or awkward. Just amazing.”

Just one week later, Gaga was celebrated once again when she was caught helping out yet another fellow celebrity at yet another awards show.
This time it was the Grammys, and the star literally got down onto the floor to help SZA with her dress after losing an award to her.
Lady Gaga helps SZA to the #Grammys stage!
Despite SZA — who was using crutches on the night — being Gaga’s opponent, she still wanted to make sure that she looked nothing less than perfect onstage.
And as her stunning dress’s long tulle train became tangled, Gaga noticed the issue and was immediately proactive in fixing the problem.
She picked up the train and gently carried it until SZA was closer to the stage, which is when she softly let go of the fabric so that it would fall into place correctly.
Once again, this act of kindness did not go unnoticed by viewers at home and Gaga was applauded for being the “only one” helping SZA. One tweeted: “Lady Gaga gettin SZA’s train of her dress was a vibe. Love to see women lookin out for women.”

And on Sunday, Gaga continued to be the guardian angel of awards shows as she made her way into the Dolby Theater for this year’s Oscars.
Gaga was walking the redesigned beige carpet when a photographer took a tumble and fell to the ground as he walked past her.
The fall was captured by other photographers, and in photos the man can be seen laying on his back with his legs in the air just behind Gaga.
The star’s reaction was also captured in video footage, where you can hear the audible gasps from the crowd as well as the thump of the photographer landing.
Lady Gaga stops to help photographer who fell at the #Oscars.
In the clip, Gaga turns around as soon as she hears the commotion, and her jaw drops open upon seeing the accident. Without hesitation — and despite wearing a floor-length Versace gown and heels — she runs over to help the photographer back up to his feet while checking that he is OK.
@ladygaga I saw you go to help the photographer. You always have been a good person, and your instinct to help proves it.
“The way people react speaks volumes about who they are at their core,” someone else said. Another echoed: “Notice how she didn’t even think about it, it was in her reflex to help him, she’s just genuinely sweet and kind.”
Others noticed that Gaga was the only one who turned back to help, with one writing: “lady gaga the only person who went back to help someone who fell on the red carpet…. this woman is is so kind and humble.”

Some alluded to the star’s history of kindness. A tweet read: “lady gaga is such a genuine kind hearted person always looking out for everyone look at her literally leaping to help someone who fell over on the carpet.”

Another added: “the mother theresa in our music industry . Gaga you always an icon.”
In a poignant twist of fate, Gaga ended up alluding to the importance of being kind later in the evening when she performed her song “Hold My Hand,” which features in Top Gun: Maverick and was nominated for an award.
Introducing the track to the audience on the night, Gaga said: “We all need each other. We need a lot of love to walk through this life.”
“We need heroes sometimes. There’s heroes all around us,” she went on. “You might find that you can be your own hero, even if you feel broken inside.”
