Lady Gaga brought Oscars attendees to their feet when she brought sexual assault survivors onstage during her performance of “Til It Happens to You,” the Best Original Song nominee Gaga co-wrote with Diane Warren.
The song comes from the documentary “The Hunting Ground,” which documents the epidemic of rape on college campuses across America.
Vice President Joe Biden introduced Gaga’s performance, calling on those in attendance and those watching at home to change rape culture in America.
The VP has been a long-time advocate against sexual assault and domestic violence. He is the author of the Violence Against Women Act, and will use his appearance at the Oscars to call on everyone to visit the ItsOnUs website.
