It was hard but thank all that is good in the world for GaGa who showed us all what it is to have someone’s back and help them through a moment❤️

I agree. Very sweet of Gaga but all around sad and uncomfortable 

I completely agree. It was SO sad. Also I feel like it’s not how she would want to be portrayed. We all know Liza to be this larger than life person and appearances like that just tend to diminish who she was as a person. And she most definitely was overwhelmed. But I also teared up because it reminded so much of my great aunt and it’s just so very sad. As much as Liza loved the spotlight I think she should have been comfy at home. 

One thing about Gaga is she has this genuine respect and admiration for the legends that came before her, and it makes me very very emotional too! 

They did this a few years ago with Kirk Douglas and it was equally painful to watch. 

I don’t like this trend. Liza and Kirk… Not to say they should sail off in the sunset and be forgotten, but I feel like there are other ways to celebrate their legacies.

Is there a reason that award shows love to bring out elderly actors/performers who are perhaps not in the best health for A Moment on stage? I love Liza Minnelli so much, don't get me wrong, and I don't want her to NOT be able to have moments like reading Best Picture at the Oscars in 2022. Hell, if anyone has earned it, it's her. But it was really sad and tough to see her that way — I didn't realize that she was using a wheelchair and perhaps struggling with cognition (? - I don't know really what was going on there but she seemed to be having a hard time.) 

And this isn't about me, I get it. You're probably like, Bread, deal with it! So you were uncomfy! But no, it's not that. Liza genuinely seemed overwhelmed too! And adding more stress to her doesn't seem like the most productive or helpful thing? I don't know, I just don't get it. 

With that said, I thought it was a VERY sweet moment between Gaga and Liza when Gaga leaned over and told her "I got you" and Liza said "I know." It made me tear up actually. Gaga is so good and kind and patient (if you haven't watched her interviews w/ and about Tony Bennett, I highly encourage you do).
