She WON a GOLDEN GLOBE. NOT AN EMMY. For American Horror Story - Hotel. (I don’t think she was all that good in that, myself. But at least it wasn’t an Emmy!) ---

Yeh, sorry, Golden Globe speech. My bad. I didn’t think she was all that great, either. I’d rather it have gone to Kirsten Dunst for her role in Fargo. ---

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > She did a fantastic [tribute to Julie Andrews](https://youtu.be/vdqYmSf6tiE?t=197) at last year’s Oscars. Beautiful singing. She could have been a classical musician if she had wanted to. Side-note: did they have a drunken monkey in charge of the videography? It kept going from “way far back and mostly out of frame” to “way too close up.” ---

I’d rather it have gone to Kirsten Dunst for her role in Fargo. Yeah, she’s not even the best on that show, let alone best of every show for the year. Being weird and provocative isn’t really acting. ---

> [@Maastricht](#): > > Didnt she suffer from lupus, as well ? She tested positive for it, but has [never shown any symptoms](http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/06/03/lupus.lady.gaga/). Of course, that article is from 2010, but I haven’t seen anything else. It’s also possible you heard some stuff about [Selena Gomez](http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/08/health/selena-gomez-reveals-she-has-lupus/), who is symptomatic and took time off for chemotherapy.
