What Lady Gaga said

Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix as Harley Quinn and Joker

During her opening monologue, Lady Gaga said, "Anyway, I’m an actor now. I select films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor, films such as Joker 2. Apparently, people thought it was awesome. Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. So we won worst onscreen duo.”

She went on to joke, “But jokes on them. I love winning things. My Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.” She also added, “Tonight, I promise to act, to sing and to not do Joker 3.”
