Some may think "Oh no, give her a few years, then maybe she's worthy.", and I disagree with that statement 100%. Celebrity life is NOT easy, and whether or not you choose to take my word for it, Gaga's career was NOT handed to her on a silver platter.
She is a creative mind and an INCREDIBLY strong person to put up with what she has - all the backlash of nay-sayers, haters, and people flat out against Gaga - and still keeps doing what she does with her head held high. She's even ADDRESSED her dislikers time to time simply saying "It's no big deal if you don't like me." rather than insulting them. Not everyone can do that.
Many just lump her in with Justin Bieber and mark them both as undeserving celebrities... don't. You can't compare the two - she worked, he didn't. She's got talent, he doesn't. She DESERVES the benefits she's gotten... and you guessed it, he doesn't.
All I'm saying is don't judge a book by its cover. Don't be so quick to judge Lady Gaga. Just because you personally don't like her doesn't mean she has no talent.
One never knows what she's going to do next and when she executes, it's quality. Although she doesn't sing music favorable to my ear, I recognize her talent.
I wish the best for her and am always excited to watch for her next move.
The Oscars are exclusively for the film industry and to win one it's hard work and dedication to acting (even great actors can die without one) so it doesn't make sense that people think that Gaga deserves an Oscar if she's not even an actress... Just saying..

And to be clear this is not an attack, just presenting the facts...
IMO
"Her duet with Elton John, "Hello, Hello," was nominated for Best Original Song. The song appeared in "Gnomeo & Juliet," and animated kid's film.
Gaga tweeted, "Just heard my duet 'Hello, Hello' with Elton [John] is up for nomination at the Oscars!"
So I would venture a guess that it is for "Hello, Hello", and not the video.
