Liza Minnelli has been making headlines in the weeks following the 2022 Oscars. At first, it was because fans were thrilled to see the starlight on stage with Lady Gaga to present the biggest award of the night. Then, it was because her close friend Michael Feinstein claimed she had been "sabotaged" that night.
Now, Liza is showing fans she's doing alright in a new, smiling selfie with Michael.
As fans will recall, Lady Gaga accompanied Liza Minnelli on stage to present the final award of the night in one of the show's most memorable moments.
"Do you see that? The public, they love you," Lady Gaga told Liza, to which she replied: "I don't understand," while sorting through her notes.
During a night full of controversy, these two provided a refreshing and wholesome reminder to us all about what the Academy Awards are all about.
"And I'm honored to present the final award of the evening with a true show business legend."
After the nominees for Best Picture were announced, Liza smiled to the camera and said: "Hi everybody! I'm so happy to be here, especially with you. I'm your biggest fan."
Viewers at home were touched by Gaga's patience and love for the 76-year-old.
Many people took to social media to praise the singer for her kindness and praise the example she set for young people everywhere.
While chatting on SiriusXM’s "The Jess Cagle Show," Liza's good friend Michae Feinstein explained the pair's moment in more detail.
“She was sabotaged. That’s a terrible word to use, but she only agreed to appear on the Oscars if she would be in a director’s chair, because she’s been having back trouble," as per The Guardian.
Michael explained that in the hour before Lady Gaga and Liza were to hit the stage, organizers were in a fluster following the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident.
“She was nervous,” he said, “and it made her look like she was out of it."
However, it seems like Liza has moved past the event and was all smiles at a recent outing with Michael.
This starstudded trio were snapped in a seflie that Michael posted alongside the caption:
"Had a lovely time last night with these two ladies."
Well, I'm glad Liza is in good spirits as she always deserves to be.
