When the list of 2016 Academy Award Nominations was unveiled on Thursday, January 11, people learned that Lady GaGa
had just landed her first Oscar nomination. Following the announcement,
the "Poker Face" singer took to social media to express her gratitude
while also stating that the nomination would be dedicated to survivors
of sexual assault.
While her win at the Golden Globes was for her performance on "American Horror Story: Hotel", the Oscar nod is for music. GaGa and songwriter Diane Warren were nominated for Best Original Song for "Till It Happens to You" from "The Hunting Ground", a documentary about sexual assault and rape crimes on college campuses in the U.S.

Academy for recognizing the movement of people who have come together
