Bradley Cooper was snubbed by the Oscars in the Best Director category for A Star is Born, though he was nominated for Best Actor.

Now Lady Gaga, who is also nominated in the Actress and Best Song category, is speaking out. 

“At the end of the day, he knows that he’s the best director in my eyes, and in all of our eyes as his cast,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “I know that he’s so happy that we’ve all been nominated and that the film was recognized and we all feel really, really beyond elated for the recognition.”

She added, “It was always like I felt like I was them, even though I wasn’t there. It was always a big deal with my family. There’s really no award that is more esteemed than the Oscar in acting, and for music, it is also extremely special. Since I was a little girl, I always admired all of the artists that put in so much hard work and passion into filmmaking. Watching the award shows, I used to cry with them.”

The Oscars will air on ABC on Feb. 24. We’ll be watching!
