Greenspan](https://time.com/author/rachel-e-greenspan/) ## Rachel E. Greenspan Jan 7, 2019 5:22 AM UTC Though _A Star Is Born_ was [a hit with critics and at the box office](http://time.com/5407607/a-star-is-born-remake/), the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn’t celebrate the film as much as fans had hoped. At the [76th annual Golden Globes](http://time.com/5494459/golden-globes-winners-2019/), Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut won only one award of its five nominations. The film won Best Original Song (Motion Picture) for its hit single “Shallow,” performed by Cooper and his co-star Lady Gaga, who co-wrote it with Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. [Lady Gaga](http://time.com/5495077/lady-gaga-golden-globes-a-star-is-born/) had her share of moments during the Golden Globes, from being [the subject of a joke](http://time.com/5495110/lady-gaga-sandra-oh-100-people-golden-globes/) during Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg’s opening monologue to accepting the award for Best Original Song along with Ronson. [Cooper](http://time.com/5407925/bradley-cooper-lady-gaga/), who was nominated for Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) and Director of a Motion Picture, appeared onstage only as a presenter. Fans on Twitter were surprised by the results of the show, especially as _A Star Is Born_ lost Best Motion Picture (Drama) to the commercially successful but critically lukewarm [_Bohemian Rhapsody_](http://time.com/5435386/bohemian-rhapsody-review/)and Gaga lost Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) to [Glenn Close](http://time.com/5368855/glenn-close-the-wife/) of _The Wife._ It remains to be seen how the performance of [_A Star Is Born_](http://time.com/5403187/a-star-is-born-versions/)at the Golden Globes might affect its chances at the Academy Awards. But if the Twitterverse had a say, the outcome would be clear. > [](https://twitter.com/ashleyiaco/status/1082130653179633664) > [](https://twitter.com/kimchicx/status/1082130092007006208) > [](https://twitter.com/RahRahEnigma/status/1082130589577293825) > [](https://twitter.com/kathleen%5Fhanley/status/1082130724243865610) > [](https://twitter.com/gagamonster96/status/1082129683179864065) > [](https://twitter.com/JacksonMConnor/status/1082141039127875584) > [](https://twitter.com/raptorqu33n/status/1082141028528914438) > [](https://twitter.com/jordyn%5Fsalerno/status/1082140915064549377) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5495412/a-star-is-born-golden-globes-2019/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5495412/a-star-is-born-golden-globes-2019/"},"headline":"People Are Upset That A Star Is Born Didn't Win Big at the 2019 Golden Globes","datePublished":"2019-01-07T05:22:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T22:25:49.174Z","description":"The film won one of five nominations","url":"https://time.com/5495412/a-star-is-born-golden-globes-2019/","keywords":["awards","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt61445e2533dba4a1/698942c797cdff0adc6b71a7/a-star-is-born-golden-globes-2019.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel E.
