Bradley Cooper Picks Up His BAFTA Alone as Lady Gaga Is Busy Preparing For the Grammys

As is often the way (because award season is a busy time) the BAFTA Awards [1] and the Grammy Awards fell on the same night this year. This meant the cast and crew of A Star Is Born had to tag team their appearances to ensure the movie was represented worldwide. While Lady Gaga chose to stay in Los Angeles to attend the Grammys [2], Bradley Cooper [3] travelled to London for the BAFTAs, where he was nominated for awards in a whopping 5 categories.

The movie ended up picking up just one award [4], for best film music, which Bradley accepted solo, thanking his fellow nominees Lady Gaga [5] and Lukas Nelson for helping him fulfil a dream. Lady Gaga tweeted from LA sending her apologies for not being at the event, saying "We made a film about music. This means the world to me." In his speech, as well as thanking his costars, Bradley also made a rare reference to his partner Irina Shayk. "I also need to thank Irina for putting up with me while I was trying to make music in our basement for a year," he said, getting a laugh from the audience. Though Irina and Bradley chose not to walk the red carpet together, she was by his side to see him pick up his first-ever BAFTA. See all the photos of Bradley's big night ahead.
