Joker: Folie à Deux was once anticipated to dominate the Oscars, expected to be the next Dark Knight. Instead, it received the Worst Sequel Razzie Award, a shocking turn for the highly awaited film. However, the true heart of the movie, Lady Gaga, remains unfazed. As she continues to prove herself as a formidable actress, she stands by both her performance and the film, refusing to let the unexpected criticism define its legacy.

Even more surprising is Lady Gaga's reaction to the movie's Razzie triumph, even if her recent joke about Joker: Folie à Deux exudes confidence. What was it she said?

Lady Gaga opened her Saturday Night Live episode with playful remarks about her film Joker: Folie à Deux. Emphasizing her shift into acting, the Oscar and Grammy recipient humorously noted that she carefully selects roles that highlight her talent—like Joker 2. She mentioned how she and Joaquin Phoenix received a nomination for the Razzie Award, recognizing the worst in cinema, and even winning Worst On-screen Duo. With a smirk, she added, “But jokes on them,” celebrating the win as a step toward an unconventional "EGORT".

The sequel to 2019’s Oscar-winning Joker, Joker: Folie à Deux, faced a disappointing box office run and secured seven Razzie nominations, ultimately winning Worst Screen Combo for Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, along with Worst Sequel. During SNL, Gaga playfully remarked, “Tonight, I promise to act, to sing and to not do Joker 3.” She also humorously reflected on her decade-long return to SNL, joked about exaggerated pop star ages, and subtly acknowledged past controversies without dwelling on them. Meanwhile, SNL made the cut as the most-watched online TV show.
