Music Coop & Gaga lose and win The Directors Guild Awards happened this weekend. Bradley Cooper was nominated for Best Director and Best First Time Director and lost both to Alfonso Cuaron and Bo Burnham respectively.

Coincidence or conspiracy Gaga & Bradley: the screen test Even though the Oscar nominations were announced last week, actual voting for the Oscars doesn’t begin until February 12. The voting period starts two days after the BAFTAs and the Grammys. It lasts a week and ends the Tuesday before the Oscars. Which means there’s still a lot By Lainey • Feb 01, 2019 11:19 am
Music Gaga & Bradley Cooper go “Shallow” in Vegas Bradley Cooper was at Lady Gaga’s show in Las Vegas on Saturday night. She invited him on stage to sing “Shallow” with her. Naturally it went viral.

Movie Reviews and Previews A Star is… Spiked? Or is it Argo-ed? There are always snubs on Oscar nomination day. Some snubs are bigger than others. Because they’re so unexpected.

Bradley Cooper Bradley Cooper in a bow tie The last time Bradley Cooper wore a bow tie it was at the Golden Globes, but with a white suit and, well, it wasn’t his best look.

Award Season Campaigning Bradley Cooper: scruff’s coming in Roma won Best Picture and Best Director last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards but that doesn’t mean it’s the Oscar favourite.

Gossip Nostalgia Intro for January 8, 2019 Dear Gossips, As an award season junkie, I’m still not over how wide open this Oscar race is and how the Golden Globes shook up the situation – which probably makes the Hollywood Foreign Press Association very happy.

Golden Globes 2019 Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk’s birthday Globes Do you remember, for about five minutes last year, the Academy tried to introduce a “Popular Movie” category? If they’d insisted on moving forward with that (bad) idea, Black Panther, A Star is Born, and Bohemian Rhapsody would all qualify. Now all three are heading towards the Oscars as By Lainey • Jan 07, 2019 09:17 am

Assy Style Bradley Cooper’s road to the Oscars I’m still laughing about Jezebel’s Thirsty 30 from the other day. Bradley Cooper was ranked #22 and while that’s not super high on the list, the fact that he’s been included is what’s funny because, of course, as we’ve seen, Bradley’s fronting like By Lainey • Dec 12, 2018 01:39 pm
Award Season Campaigning Bradley Cooper: invisible front row Irina Shayk walked in the Versace show in New York last night.

Award Season Campaigning A night for Bradley Cooper Bradley Cooper was honoured last night at the American Cinematheque Award dinner. He couldn’t skip this one.
