Gaga, who has also been very outspoken about women supporting one another, was noticeably shaken up in a great way after her name was announced as co-winner.

\"I’m so very happy that you won this,\" she said, as the two embraced on the stage.

Gaga also made sure to thank her \"A Star Is Born\" co-star and director, Bradley Cooper, not just for his talent, but for being a \"magical\" human being as well.

Gaga and Close weren't the only tie of the night, either! Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette both won for Best Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie Made For Television.
