But when it came to her performance, Gaga stripped back the glamour and took to the stage in a T-shirt, jeans, and Converse to perform the ballad.

Meanwhile, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the biggest winner of the night taking home seven wins. In addition to Jamie Lee Curtis' Supporting Actress win, the movie saw Ke Huy Quan pick up the gong for Best Supporting Actor, while leading lady Michelle Yeoh won for Best Actress.
The action movie also won the Best Picture and Best Director category. Away from EEAAO, Brendan Fraser was the other major winner after he predictably won the award for Best Actor for his portrayal in The Whale.
