Gaga wrote on Twitter: “Til It Happens To You my original score with @Diane_Warren for ”The Hunting Ground” was nominated for an OSCAR.”
She also added a message which read: “This nomination lends a voice to victims and survivors all over the world. Thank you to THE ACADEMY for recognizing the movement of people who have come together for this film & song in the name of sexual assault. Myself and Diane are simply honored to represent the voices of so many SURVIVORS.”
Gaga and Sam’s songs will compete against “Earned It” from Fifty Shades of Grey, “Manta Ray” from Racing Extinction and “Simple Song 3” from the movie Youth.
