Lady Gaga and Glenn Close both were emotional as they accepted the award for Best Actress. The Wife actress Close was the first to be announced and was “thrilled” to have tied with Lady Gaga.

Later, in her acceptance speech, she celebrated her success with everyone present there before Gaga was announced.

“I am so thrilled it’s a tie, I can’t tell you. I was thinking that, you know, the world kind of pits us against each other in this profession and I know that from all the women in this category, and I think I can speak for all the women in this room, we celebrate each other.”

When the 32-year-old singer took the stage for the second time after accepting the award for Best Song for “Shallow” earlier in the evening, the singer was utterly shocked and in tears. She, however, couldn't be prouder to share the stage with her fellow winner.

“I spilled water all over myself. My mother and Glenn are good friends, so I am so very happy that you won this this evening … I am so honored by this. I went to places in my mind and in my heart that I did not know existed or that I could. This is a tremendous honor. I feel recognized not just for my performance but for the inner work that it took in the creation of this character.”
