Oscars 2019: 16 WTF Moments

6. That Uncomfortably Intimate "Shallow" Performance

Without question the strongest musical performance of the night was Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's rendition of A Star Is Born's "Shallow", which of course went on to win the Best Original Song Oscar later in the night.

The heartfelt performance cooked up a storm on social media, with many noting the intense intimacy of the performance, with some even joking that Gaga and Cooper might be in the throes of an affair.

It's far more probable that the two are just great actors - they both were nominated, after all - and wanted to invoke the same mood established by the movie.

Either way, nobody could be blamed for getting a little hot under the collar while watching this.
