Lady Gaga Embraces ‘Worst On-Screen Duo’ Razzie Win with Joaquin Phoenix on ‘SNL’

Introduction

March 10, 2025: In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL), Lady Gaga showcased her comedic flair by addressing her Razzie Award win for “Worst On-Screen Duo” alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux. The pop icon turned actress used her opening monologue to humorously reflect on the film’s reception and her evolving career.

Acknowledging the Razzie Win

During her monologue, Lady Gaga quipped about her transition into acting, stating, “Anyway, I’m an actor now. I’ve been very diligent about selecting films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor. Films such as Joker 2.” She continued, “Apparently, people thought it was awesome. Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. So we won—for worst onscreen duo.”

Turning Criticism into Humor

Embracing the criticism with grace, Gaga added, “But joke’s on them. I love winning things. My Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.”

This playful twist highlights her resilience and ability to find humor in less favorable situations.

Reflecting on Past Controversies

Gaga also touched upon previous contentious moments in her career, including her 2013 SNL performance with R. Kelly. She humorously remarked, “I was young and needed the money.”

This self-deprecating acknowledgment showcases her willingness to confront past missteps openly.
