Liza Minnelli made a rare appearance at the 2022 Oscars to present an award with Lady Gaga.

The actress, who won best actress in 1973 for her role in Cabaret, presented the best picture award with Gaga.

‘Oh! That’s so exciting!’ Liza, 76, said as she took to the stage in a wheelchair, with Gaga, 36, responding: ”Do you see that? The public, they love you.’

Gaga went on: ‘I am honored to present the final award of the evening with a true show business legend.

She’s celebrating the 50th anniversary of Cabaret,’ Gaga announced. ‘Oscar award-winning actress Liza Minelli.’

As it came time for the pair to announce the nominees, Gaga whispered to Liza: ‘I got you,’ before reading out the names.

Liza then announced that Coda had won best picture.

The actress and singer was most recently seen after having dinner with her friend, Dynasty star George Hamilton.

Liza, who looked as glam as ever, was escorted from the restaurant to a car in her wheelchair.

Elsewhere at the Oscars, chaos ensued after Will Smith hit Chris Rock following a joke the comedian made about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

He went on to win the best actor award, apologising in his tearful speech.

Jessica Chastain won best actress, with Troy Kotsur winning best supporting actor and Ariana DeBose picking up the best supporting actress award.
