“There’s a sense in which I feel like I’ve been preparing for this role my entire life. And I know I’ve put my whole life into it,' Gaga said.
“This really means the absolute world to me, and I am so incredibly honored to receive this award in my hometown, Manhattan, New York,” Gaga, who wore a strapless black dress by Jason Wu topped off with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, said. “There’s a sense in which I feel like I’ve been preparing for this role my entire life. And I know I’ve put my whole life into it, and I know everybody in this room, you all do that too.
From there, a tearful Gaga emotionally highlighted the connections between the film and her Italian roots. “I wasn’t born in Italy, but I am a Germanotta and I am a proud descendant of my Venetian and Sicilian ancestors,” she said. “Learning to speak in a Northern dialect felt like reading poetry to me. I’m going to tell you, because I want to remind you and tell you and thank you for this award and that you did okay.
“I accept this award on behalf of my Italian ancestors, and behalf of my love of all things Italian,” Gaga continued. “This extends the legacy of my great family,” who, she added, came to the U.S. via Ellis Island in the early 1900s without knowing any English. “This award marks the end of a very long, beautiful journey. I’m really sad it’s ending. It’s really hard to say goodbye to art because you learn so much about yourself.
