A couple of victories at this year’s Golden Globe ceremony took us by surprise, but there was one everyone saw coming from a mile away. Lady Gaga and Mark Ronson accepted best original song award for their hit track “Shallow” from the movie A Star Is Born.

This slow-burning power ballad was a favorite from the very start, but Gaga was still surprised after learning she’s the winner. Mother Monster accepted her Golden Globe alongside Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt.

Ronson was mostly in charge of delivering their acceptance speech, and thanked Bradley Cooper for taking this heartfelt tune and giving it emotional resonance. He also thanked Lady Gaga and called her the captain of the S.S. Shallow.

“The genius comes from you. It’s up there. You’re the one who let us into the deep waters and truly made the song what it is with your devastatingly beautiful performance as an actor and a singer,” said Ronson.

Gaga thanked her co-writers for lifting her up and supporting her throughout this process, and gave a shout-out to Bradley Cooper while speaking backstage shortly after receiving the award.

“He was incredible as a director and I loved working with him, he made me a better actress. But what we are really excited to be on this stage for is how much he believed in this song as a vehicle for story telling in this film,” said Lady Gaga.
