Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to episode 25 of awards chatter the

Hollywood Reporters Awards Podcast.

I'm the host Scott Feinberg and this is a very special episode not only because it's a milestone

number episode but also because we are joined for the better part of an hour by two of the most remarkable artists and women out there.

Lady Gaga and Diane Warren, who collaborated on the song, Till It Happens to you in the documentary, hunting ground both are quite likely to be

nominated when the Oscar nominations are announced on the 14th and we should note

in regard to that that there are less than 24 hours remaining until Oscar nomination

voting closes so if you're an Academy member and you haven't yet voted

you're gonna want to do that pretty soon. But back to our conversation with Lady

Gaga and Diane Warren which took place at Lady Gaga's home in

Malibu and really took my breath away. It deals with so many heavy issues just

like the film and yet does so in a way that I think you will feel is well worth your time.

It's a raw, honest, and emotional discussion about the film, the song,

and the artist's own experiences with sexual assault,

which they've rarely talked about before.

As most listeners probably know, these two artists are at the top of their game.

Diane Warren is a songwriter, not a singer, and she is responsible for many of the greatest hits performed by others

songs that you certainly know and love including seven that have been nominated for the best original song Oscar over the last 28 years

those are nothing's gonna stop us now from original song Oscar over the last 28 years.

Those are.

Nothing's going to stop us now from Mannequin.

Because you love me from Up Close and Personal.
