Here comes Lady Gaga to the rescue! Oscar-nominated singer swoops in to help photographer after he tripped and FELL on the Academy Awards red carpet
Lady Gaga jumped into action after she noticed a photographer had fallen down on the red carpet at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday night.
The man – who was later identified as Chris Polk – had quickly attempted to make his way past the singer all while trying to get an up-close shot of her Oscars look.
But he accidentally lost his footing and stumbled forward before falling onto one knee.
The Poker Face hitmaker, 36, quickly spun around and ran over to help him back on his feet.
She kindly placed her hands on the man’s shoulders as he thanked her for coming to his aid.

The multi-Grammy Award winner is nominated in the Best Song category for her original hit, Hold My Hand, for the blockbuster Top Gun sequel.
She will perform the song during Sunday’s ceremony despite originally being unable to due to a scheduling conflict involving the film shoot for the Joker sequel.
The film was released last summer and saw the return of Tom Cruise as hotshot fighter pilot Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell.
Top Gun: Maverick made $1.488 billion at the worldwide box office and is the 12th highest grossing film of all time.
It has been nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, in a sign that Hollywood is finally listening to audiences and honoring box office hits instead of arthouse favorites.
The movie starring Tom is nominated for Best Picture along with Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water, All Quiet On The Western Front and The Fabelmans.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, the nomination for Best Picture could bring him his first Academy Award.
Gaga reacted to her nomination in a gushing post shared to Instagram in January just hours after she learned her song had been recognized.
‘Thank you so much to the Academy for nominating my song “Hold My Hand” for an Oscar this year!’ the Bad Romance songstress began.
‘Writing this song for the film Top Gun: Maverick was a deep and powerful experience that I will never forget. So grateful for the magic of music and cinema.’
She co-wrote the track with fellow singer and producer BloodPop.
Everything Everywhere All At Once leads the pack with the most nominations with 11 and The Banshees of Inisherin earned nine nominations. The two films swept the Golden Globes earlier this month.

Elvis, by Baz Luhrmann, has eight nominations, including one for Austin Butler.
Best Actress at the Oscars will be a toss-up between Cate Blanchett in Tár and Michelle Yeoh, who won the award at the Golden Globes for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Ana De Armas also earned a nomination for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Bill Nighy (Living) all received nods.
All Quiet On The Western Front, a German-produced film, earned multiple nominations, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, including Best Original Song.
Angela Bassett is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as is Jamie Lee Curtis for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Winners will be voted on by the roughly 10,000 actors, producers, directors and film craftspeople who make up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The academy added more women and people of color to its ranks after the #OscarsSoWhite uproars of 2015 and 2016, and it increased membership from outside the United States.
Big favorite: However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations with 11
The annual ceremony is being hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
This year, seven of the 20 acting nominees were people of color, including Yeoh’s Everything Everywhere All At Once castmates Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Quan.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences will surely celebrate a best-picture field populated with blockbusters; according to data firm Comscore, their collective domestic box office of $1.574 billion is the most ever at the time of nominations.
Last year’s awards had been looking like a comeback edition before ‘the slap’ came to define the ceremony. In the aftermath, the academy banned Will Smith from attending for the next 10 years.
Though he could have still been nominated, Smith’s performance as a runaway slave in Emancipation didn’t catch on with voters.

But larger concerns are swirling around the movie business. Last year saw flashes of triumphant resurrection for theaters, like the success of Top Gun: Maverick, but less stellar results for most dramas.
Partially due to an inconsistent stream of major releases, ticket sales for the year recovered only about 70 percent of pre-pandemic business.
Stocks for streaming services, meanwhile, have plunged as Wall Street looked to streaming services to earn profits, not just add subscribers.
Last year’s Oscar broadcast drew 16.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen, up from the record-low audience of 10.5 million for the pandemic-marred 2021 telecast.
