<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/gwyneth-paltrow" rel="" target="_blank">Gwyneth Paltrow</a>'s highly publicized <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gwyneth-paltrow-ski-crash-trial-watch-live-on-et-201312" rel="" target="_blank">ski crash trial</a> has officially come to a close Thursday, with the Goop founder&nbsp;being found not liable for the 2016 collision.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After deliberating for just over two and a half hours, the jury found that Paltrow was not found at fault and Sanderson was. In a&nbsp;unanimous decision, the jury awarded&nbsp;Paltrow $1&nbsp;in symbolic damages plus attorney fees.</p>

<p>Following the verdict&nbsp;of the case, Paltrow released a statement on her legal win, saying, "I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity. I am pleased with the outcome and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case."</p>

<p>Sanderson also released a statement, saying, "We are disappointed in the outcome, but we love and support the legal process. We thank Judge Holmberg, the jury, and staff for all their efforts. We will spend the next while evaluating and discussing where we go from here."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress was sued back in 2019 by Terry Sanderson, who, in his lawsuit, claimed he <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gwyneth-paltrow-takes-the-stand-in-skiing-lawsuit-trial-everything-you-need-to-know-201329" rel="" target="_blank">sustained significant injuries in 2016</a> after Paltrow allegedly knocked him over while skiing a beginner-level course at a resort in Park City, Utah. The collision, he claimed, left him with "a brain injury, four broken ribs and other serious injuries."</p>

<p>He further claimed that Paltrow was skiing in an "out of control" manner and skied away without calling for help. He also alleged&nbsp;in the lawsuit that he was blamed for the accident by Deer Valley Resort staff in a filed incident report.</p>

<p>According to legal documents, obtained by ET, Sanderson sued Paltrow for more than $300,000 in damages in connection to the Feb. 26, 2016 incident. The trial kicked off Tuesday, March 21 in Park City, where Paltrow filed a countersuit against Sanderson and was seeking $1 in symbolic damages plus attorney fees.</p>

<p>Sanderson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/30/gwyneth-paltrow-sued-over-collision-on-ski-slopes-utah-lawsuit" target="_blank">initially sued</a>&nbsp;for $3.1 million in damages, but several of his claims were dropped by the court in 2022.</p>

<p>In Paltrow's countersuit, she claimed that Sanderson, "who was uphill from Ms. Paltrow, plowed into her back," causing her to sustain "a full 'body blow,'" which left her "angry." She further claimed Sanderson "apologized" and that she was shaken and upset and quit skiing for the day even though it was still morning.</p>

<p>The trial, which spanned for two weeks, saw multiple allegations from Sanderson, tongue-in-cheek responses from Paltrow, and written depositions of the incident from her children, Apple and Moses, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gwyneth-paltrows-kids-apple-and-moses-depositions-read-aloud-in-ski-crash-trial-201606" rel="" target="_blank">read aloud to the court</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gwyneth-paltrow-takes-the-stand-in-skiing-lawsuit-trial-everything-you-need-to-know-201329" rel="" target="_blank">Paltrow took the stand</a>, she was adamant that Sanderson was the one who&nbsp;skied into her. "My brain was trying to make sense of what was happening," she said of her thoughts during the collision. "I thought, 'Is this a practical joke? Is someone doing something perverted? This is really strange.' My mind was going very, very quickly and I was trying to ascertain what was happening."</p>

<p>An <a href="https://www.etonline.com/man-behind-gwyneth-paltrow-skiing-lawsuit-explains-why-he-emailed-daughters-im-famous-after-their" rel="" target="_blank">email that Sanderson sent</a> to his daughters, shortly after the collision, was brought into question during the trial. The email's subject line included "I'm famous..."</p>

<p>On the stand, Sanderson explained, "My head was scrambled, [but] all I was trying to do was desperately communicate with my kids before they heard from somebody else [that] I got crushed," Sanderson told the Park City, Utah, jury. "I didn't pick my words well, not at all how I felt, and I was really trying to add a little levity to a serious situation and it backfired."</p>

Gwyneth Paltrow Found Not Liable in Utah Ski Crash Lawsuit

<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Love on and off the big screen! <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/viola-davis" rel="" target="_blank">Viola Davis</a> and her husband, Julius Tennon, walked the red carpet at the Regency Village Theatre on Monday for the L.A. premiere of their biographical drama,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/ben-affleck-shares-the-ways-brilliant-jennifer-lopez-helped-him-with-air-movie-201075" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Air</em></a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the film, the real-life husband and wife play Michael Jordan's parents, Deloris Jordan and James Jordan. Directed by Ben Affleck,&nbsp;<em>Air</em>&nbsp;recounts Nike signing Jordan and launching Air Jordan sneakers in the 1980s.</p>

<p>The basketball legend himself <a href="https://www.etonline.com/viola-davis-reacts-to-michael-jordans-request-for-her-to-play-his-mom-in-air-exclusive-201262" rel="" target="_blank">requested that Davis take on the role</a> of his mother in the biopic, and having Tennon sign on to play his father came organically.&nbsp;</p>

<p>ET's Kevin Frazier spoke&nbsp;with Davis and Tennon on the red carpet on Monday, where they detailed working together on set, saying, "It was a lot of fun, we had a blast!"</p>

<p>"It's like we were in eight days of bliss," Davis gushed. "You know, you work on these things all the time and you never think you're gonna get that."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="e512d26e-da05-4d33-924b-f078a4ba164f" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Despite being a real-life married couple, David and Tennon still got their own separate trailers on set -- though Tennon was quick to admit his EGOT-winning wife's trailer was bigger.&nbsp;"I would go to her trailer 'cause hers was a bit bigger, but you know, it was OK&nbsp;-- it was all good," Tennon joked about their lunchtime routine.</p>

<p>Davis retorted, "But then he would leave afterward 'cause he said, 'I want to go back to my trailer.'"</p>

<p>"I'm going back to my trailer, I got my own castle!" Tennon recalled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the on-set fun, Davis said she felt an overwhelming sense of pressure taking on the role of Jordan's mother and wanted to make sure she did the matriarch justice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Seeing his mama, speaking to his mama, that is a formidable woman," Davis said before noting Deloris' charitable work in America and abroad. "I mean, she heads the Michael Jordan Foundation, what she's doing in Kenya... that woman is zen neutrality, solid."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Explaining how she felt about Jordan requesting her for the role specifically, Davis said, "Obviously [he] sees something in me that reminds [him] of [his] mother, so, I feel flattered by that. Let me step into this role scared, but I stepped into it."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="dbcc48a2-d814-4841-a97e-893e0dfbb3ba" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>In addition to Davis and Tennon,&nbsp;<em>Air</em>&nbsp;features a star-studded cast that includes Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Chris Tucker and Marlon Wayans.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Air&nbsp;</em>is set to hit theaters and simultaneously release on Prime Video on April 5.</p>

Viola Davis and Husband Julius Tennon on Playing Michael Jordan's Parents in 'Air' (Exclusive)

<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Real Housewives of Salt Lake City</em></a>&nbsp;star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jen-shah" rel="" target="_blank">Jen Shah</a> got a year shaved off her prison sentence. The embattled reality star will now be released from prison in 2028 rather than 2029.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons'&nbsp;inmate database, Shah's prison time -- for conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering -- was shortened from 78 months to 66 months. In addition to serving time, Shah owes $6,645,251 in restitution and must forfeit $6,500,000, 30 luxury items and 78 counterfeit luxury items.</p>

<p>Shah was arrested in March 2021 on <a href="https://www.etonline.com/real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city-star-jen-shah-charged-with-allegedly-running-telemarketing-fraud" rel="" target="_blank">charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud</a> and conspiracy to commit money laundering. She <a href="https://www.etonline.com/real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city-star-jen-shah-pleads-guilty-to-fraud-187088" rel="" target="_blank">pleaded&nbsp;guilty in July 2022</a>, and in January of this year, she was sentenced to the original 78 months behind bars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shah&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city-star-jen-shah-reports-to-prison-to-begin-serving-65-years-in" rel="" target="_blank">began her sentence</a> on Feb.&nbsp;17 at Texas' Federal Prison Camp, Bryan. FPC Bryan is a 37-acre minimum-security women's prison camp, currently housing 559 total inmates, according to its website. While serving her time, Shah will still be able to buy everyday items, including mascara, bronzer and blush, according to their commissary list.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the day of her surrender, Shah released a statement on Instagram, revealing that "an administrator will be running her accounts to keep the #ShahSquad updated" during her prison sentence.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoyVACnOYTG/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"I am surrendering to serve a sentence in federal prison today. It is the price I must pay for the bad decisions I made," Shah's statement read. "People got hurt because of my decisions. While incarcerated, I will work to make amends and reconcile with the victims of my crime."</p>

<p>"In the link in my bio, I offer a more complete video conversation that explains the release plan I created. It's the line I have drawn, showing my commitment to work toward overcoming bad decisions I made during a personal crisis," the statement continued. "In time, I pray that people will judge me for the way I responded to this sentence, rather than only for the decisions that led me to prison."</p>

<p>Shah concluded by stating, "I'll publish my work and make the road transparent, inviting others to hold me accountable. I am a believer in earning freedom, and I'll work toward that goal by making things right with the people I hurt."</p>

Jen Shah's Prison Sentence Reduced by 1 Year

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Real Housewives of New Jersey</em></a>&nbsp;star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jennifer-fessler" rel="" target="_blank">Jennifer Fessler</a> is showing off her new look after going under the knife!&nbsp;</p>

<p>The reality TV star was a guest on Tuesday's episode of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/watch-what-happens-live" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen</em></a><i>,</i>&nbsp;where she detailed her cosmetic surgeries and her use of&nbsp;medications to help aid her weight loss.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I got a glow-up!" Fessler exclaimed to host Andy Cohen. Praising her doctor, she continued, "What am I on? Well, I did have a facelift. I did. Dr. Sam Rizk, baby, he's the best. And a nose job!"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CqF_DSiubYd/?hl=en">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Explaining her weight-loss regimen, Fessler noted, "Yeah, I don't play, I don't play. And I did lose a lot of weight. I took peptides and I don't know if you've heard of medications associated with that that help people lose weight."</p>

<p>Cohen questioned if she was on Ozempic, a medication which was originally prescribed to people with diabetes to help control blood sugar but has&nbsp;recently made headlines for its weight-loss effect.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Like, Ozempic?" Cohen asked Fessler.</p>

<p>"You said it, I didn't. But … whatever works, here I am," she admitted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fessler's weight-loss tease comes a month after she claimed her doctor put her on Ozempic "without her knowledge" to treat symptoms of menopause.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a conversation with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11826657/Jennifer-Fessler-says-doctor-prescribed-diabetes-drug-menopause-without-knowledge.html" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail</em></a>, the reality star said, "I didn’t realize what he gave me. It’s like a bunch of different things, like estrogen pellets. He gave me a mix of peptides, but I found out it’s a form of Ozempic."</p>

<p>Despite the weight-loss effects, Fessler said, "Listen, I got on it because I went to a doctor for menopause symptoms."&nbsp;</p>

'RHONJ's Jennifer Fessler Reveals Transformation After Facelift, Nose Job and Weight Loss

<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Wedding bells are&nbsp;ringing for <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dylan-sprouse" rel="" target="_blank">Dylan Sprouse</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/barbara-palvin" rel="" target="_blank">Barbara Palvin</a>! A source tells ET, the longtime couple is engaged.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Dylan and Barbara are engaged," the source revealed.&nbsp;"They have been showing off her ring to people and are so happy. They’re always very in love with one another and by each other’s sides, but they’re even happier than usual. They can't wait to start this new chapter together."</p>

<p>ET has reached out to their reps for a comment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In early March, Sprouse and Palvin sparked engagement rumors when they were spotted at the Mammoth Film Festival and Palvin had a ring on&nbsp;<em>that</em>&nbsp;finger. Reps for the couple did not confirm their engagement at the time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A source told&nbsp;ET, "Barbara and Dylan seemed so happy and comfortable together all weekend during Mammoth Film Festival. Dylan let her do her thing at events and she was in a great mood. Barbara was a social butterfly and bopped around and talked to different people. They would make sure to check in with each other while they were out and spend time just the two of them too. When they were together, it was clear they were very in love."</p>

<p>The&nbsp;<em>Suite Life of Zack &amp;&nbsp;Cody</em>&nbsp;alum and the Hungarian supermodel have been dating since 2018, after Sprouse slid into her Instagram DM's. In an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/story/dylan-sprouse-barbara-palvin-dating-interviewhttps://www.wmagazine.com/story/dylan-sprouse-barbara-palvin-dating-interview" rel="" target="_blank"><em>W Magazine</em></a>, the couple explained how their courtship began.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="e503cc8d-1631-42c1-b6f7-0b870fccd947" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>“I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you’re in New York for very long, but we should hang out if you want to. Here’s my number.’ And she didn’t message me for six months,” Sprouse&nbsp;recounted to the publication.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Palvin replied, “I took my time. I knew I wasn’t in a good mindset at the time, and maybe deep inside I knew that it could be something more.”</p>

<p>Despite their slow start, Sprouse&nbsp;and Palvin&nbsp;have been seemingly inseparable since they began dating and quickly became a fan-favorite couple.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From supporting Palvin's&nbsp;Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut to looking stunning at the <em>Vanity Fair</em> Oscars party, Sprouse&nbsp;and Palvin&nbsp;make a picture-perfect pair.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In May 2020, ET spoke&nbsp;with Sprouse, where he <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dylan-sprouse-says-quarantine-has-made-his-relationship-with-barbara-palvin-stronger-than-ever" rel="" target="_blank">detailed quarantining with Palvin</a> and how they work together as a couple.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What we’ve come out noticing is that we’re super compatible. It’s like we know when to give each other space. We know when the other needs space. We’ve already divided labor around the house in certain ways," he explained&nbsp;at the time. "There’s things we do in the morning, there’s things we do at night. So, I think our relationship... is stronger than ever."</p>

'Ginny & Georgia' Star Brianne Howey Pregnant With First Child

<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/nikki-bella" rel="" target="_blank">Nikki</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brie-bella" rel="">Brie Bella</a> are officially hanging up their WWE belts in retirement -- and returning to their real last name, Garcia, along the way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The twins made the announcement on their SiriusXM show, newly named&nbsp;<em><a href="https://youtu.be/H1DxEHXRa8k" rel="" target="_blank">The Nikki &amp; Brie Show</a>.&nbsp;</em>"Today we are officially from here on out, the Garcia Twins, Brie and Nikki Garcia," Nikki announced.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Explaining that the WWE stars are focusing on a "new chapter" in their lives, Nikki noted that they both have busy schedules as mothers, entrepreneurs, hosts and executive producers.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://youtu.be/H1DxEHXRa8k">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"We're going to be 40 in November," Nikki said, explaining that when it came time to renew their contract with the WWE, she and Brie "just knew it was time to head into this next chapter."</p>

<p>Echoing her sister's sentiments, Brie explained that the name change will give her more freedom as she segues away from WWE stardom. Brie said she's "so excited to close the chapter on Brie Bella," and teases, "Let's see what Brie Garcia is going to do next."</p>

<p>Nikki revealed how the duo got their stage name, saying, "Our listeners and everyone in the world right now is asking, 'Why?&nbsp;You had this amazing name that you got from your grandfather, Pop Pop,' who'd always call us 'my bellas, my bellas.'&nbsp;And so why after 17 years is that gone? Brie and I are almost 40, we're gonna be 40 in November. We're mothers, we're entrepreneurs. We're executive producers. We're starring now, we're hosting shows. And when our contracts, when our contract came up with WWE mutually we all knew, like we just needed to head into this new chapter."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxnzMuPHm6/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Bella responded, "I just wanna thank Brie Bella. Brie Bella, the character that, the name, all of it, that I have been the last, you know, pretty much almost, I don't know, 16, 17 years. I am so excited to close that chapter on Brie Bella. Put that book to the side and open up a new one and see what Brie Garcia's gonna do next."</p>

<p>Nikki and Brie have a storied career with the WWE; the sister duo signed with the professional wrestling company in 2007 and debuted in the ring later that year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>News of Nikki and Brie's retirement comes after a year of uncertainty with the organization. The twins were originally advertised to appear on WWE’s <em>Raw XXX</em> show, however, that plan fell through with Nikki and Brie openly criticizing the show for having a lack of women wrestlers being showcased. The sisters also have openly called out the organization for not backing the success of their joint reality series,&nbsp;<em>Total Divas</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On a personal level, Brie is married to Daniel Bryan with whom she shares a son, Buddy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nikki tied the knot with her&nbsp;<em>Dancing with the Stars</em>&nbsp;co-star,&nbsp;Artem Chigvintsev, in August 2022 -- two years after welcoming their son, Matteo, in July 2020.&nbsp;</p>

Nikki and Brie Bella Quit WWE and Are Now Going by 'The Garcia Twins'

<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lady-gaga" rel="" target="_blank">Lady Gaga</a> to the rescue! On the 95th Academy Awards ceremony's champagne carpet, Gaga rushed to help a photographer who fell while walking past her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The moment, which was caught on video and quickly went viral online, shows Gaga spotting&nbsp;the photographer as he&nbsp;trips and stumbles while walking past her. After hearing the gasps of the crowd around them, Gaga turns and runs to check on him.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/ThisIsMax/status/1635072612241129472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1635072612241129472%7Ctwgr%5E97f77c88375ca338ffdcca941a4db466fe4906d5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Few.com%2Fawards%2Foscars%2Flady-gaga-helps-fallen-photographer-2023-oscars-carpet%2F">&nbsp;</div>

<p>In another video, however,&nbsp;some fans saw the moment as awkward after the photographer patted Gaga’s hip. Gaga’s facial expression appeared serious after the encounter.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1635103010962685952">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Despite the run-in, looked stunning at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for Hollywood's biggest night. The Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter wore an elegant Versace&nbsp;black gown with a sheer bodice and dropped waist for the occasion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Oscar&nbsp;audiences got a surprise during the ceremony when Gaga made&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/lady-gaga-to-perform-at-2023-oscars-after-all-will-sing-her-nominated-song-from-top-gun-maverick" target="_blank">a last-minute decision</a>&nbsp;to sing "Hold My Hand," her Oscar-nominated single from the&nbsp;<em>Top Gun: Maverick</em>&nbsp;soundtrack. The singer initially announced she could not perform because of an overbooked schedule, but announced the morning of the show that she would attend after all.</p>

<p><a href="https://etonline.com/makeup-free-lady-gaga-sings-hold-my-hand-during-last-minute-oscars-performance-200708" rel="" target="_blank">Gaga hit the stage</a> in a stripped-down look -- far from what we're used to seeing the glamorous actress-singer wear while performing -- wearing her hair in a French braid, created by celebrity hairstylist Frederic Aspiras on behalf of Joico, and sporting little to no makeup while singing to the crowd in a black T-shirt and jeans.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1635099406524399618?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1635099406524399618%7Ctwgr%5E41d0387c8093e86b96011dc7f551b23fe17af26a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etonline.com%2Fmakeup-free-lady-gaga-sings-hold-my-hand-during-last-minute-oscars-performance-200708">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Before delivering the powerful ballad, Gaga had a message for the audience about unity, telling the crowd of famous faces, "I wrote this song with my friend, BloodPop, for the film&nbsp;<em>Top Gun: Maverick</em>, in my studio basement. It's deeply personal for me, and I think that we all need each other. We need a lot of love to walk through this life."</p>

<p>She continued, "And we all need a hero sometimes. There's heroes all around us in unassuming places, but you might find you can be your own hero, even if you feel broken inside."</p>

<p>The equally stripped-down performance earned Gaga a standing ovation by much of the crowd who were in awe of her last-minute appearance.</p>

<p>Sunday's performance marked Gaga's third time singing live at the Oscars. She previously performed "Til It Happens to You" from&nbsp;<em>The Hunting Ground</em>&nbsp;in 2016 and "Shallow" from&nbsp;<em>A Star Is Born</em>&nbsp;in 2019, with the latter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/oscars-2019-lady-gaga-wins-best-original-song" target="_blank">earning her first win</a>&nbsp;in the Best Original Song category.&nbsp;</p>
