The film won a multitude of accolades from various film societies and critic circles, including the Golden Globe for BEST PICTURE. It is nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Lady GaGa literally blew the roof off of NRG Stadium on Sunday, giving an absolutely amazing 13-minute mashup performance of some of her biggest #1 hits, including, “Poker Face,” “Just Dance,” “Telephone,” “Born This Way,” “A Million Reasons,” “Bad Romance,” and more. Critics are praising her performance. Yahoo Entertainment Critic Wendy Geller remarked in her critique of GaGa’s performance, “The show was one of few in recent years that was powered purely on choreography, talent, and pure energy — no special guests, no tricks, and very little effects beyond old-school glow torches and fireworks.” Take a look at Lady GaGa’s entire halftime show, sponsored by Pepsi, below:
