Shonda Slams Lady Gaga's Oscar Number

During the broadcast, Lady Gaga belted out some of the film's hits impressing most of us who tuned in and were in attendance, including Julie Andrews herself, who looked moved by the singer's performance. However, TV showrunner Shonda Rimes was not impressed by Gaga and slammed her tribute on Twitter.

Rhimes' tweet reads:

But, that opinion is not sitting well with others. As we all know, Lady Gaga has quite a huge fan base and her Little Monsters were not happy with Rhimes' remarks. Here are a few tweets in response to Rhimes:

While Rhimes didn't come back quite as strongly to the fans, she did respond to one by saying,

And now, I sit and wait for Lady Gaga to respond.
