Where do you stand on Lady GaGa’s ‘Sound of Music’ Oscar medley?
Most may have been suitably impressed by Lady GaGa’s tribute to The Sound of Music during Sunday’s Oscars ceremony, but one viewer who just couldn't get into it was ‘Greys Anatomy’ creator Shonda Rhimes. Yes the ‘Scandal’ showrunner tweeted her disapproval during Gaga’s big moment and even thought Maria herself, Julie Andrews, must have felt the same.
Lady Gaga won over many with her Oscars performance
"That was not okay, I mean, Idina is there. She is right there. RIGHT THERE,” " Rhimes told her Twitter followers on Sunday. Adding, "And oh dear God, Julie (Andrews) had to hear that. #Oscars2015.”
However Andrews didn't seem to share Rhimes’s negativity, as she embraced Gaga after the performance and told her "Thank you for that. It really warmed my heart.”
One twitter user later told the 45 year old showrunner she’d ‘missed the point’ by thinking Idina Menzel should have performed the medley over Gaga, to which Rhimes responded, “I probably did miss the point. Everyone else loved it. That's okay.”
