Don’t maintain your breath for a “Maintain My Hand” efficiency on the ninety fifth Annual Academy Awards. Girl Gaga won’t be singing her Prime Gun: Maverick theme regardless of its nomination within the Finest Unique Music class. In actual fact, Gaga’s track would be the just one within the class not carried out dwell this yr. It’s not a snub, although. Gaga wished it that approach.
