Shonda Rhimes Blasts Lady Gaga Oscars Performance: Dear God...

There was plenty to dislike at the 87th annual Academy Awards.


Neil Patrick Harris failed as host... Sean Penn made an ill-timed Green Card joke... and Joan Rivers was snubbed during the In Memoriam segment.


But at least Lady Gaga's tribute to The Sound of Music was universally beloved by all who saw it. Well, almost everyone.

“That was not okay,” Shonda Rhimes Tweeted following the performance, making it clear just who she would have preferred to have seen on stage:


“I mean, Idina [Menzel] is there. She is right there. RIGHT THERE. And oh dear God, Julie [Andrews] had to hear that. #Oscars2015."


Andrews gave Lady Gaga a hug following the tribute and appeared to have tears in her eyes, while a follower told Rhimes that she "missed the point" of Gaga being the one to take on this rendition.


“I probably did miss the point," Rhimes replied. "Everyone else loved it. That’s okay.”


As long as Rhimes keeps churning out masterpieces such as Scandal Season 4, we agree: everything she says is A-OK.
