Wednesday Addams (<strong>Jenna Ortega<\/strong>) meets with Rosaline in an attempt to boost her own psychic powers so she can locate Tyler Galpin (<strong>Hunter Doohan<\/strong>), an escaped Hyde. When their abracadabra session is interrupted by Enid Sinclair (<strong>Emma Myers<\/strong>), the ghost teacher switches Wednesday and Enid&#8217;s bodies as a fun little punishment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Jenna Ortega and Lady Gaga in <i>Wednesday<\/i><cite>Helen Sloan\/Netflix<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;How dare you enter my chamber uninvited,&#8221; Rosaline coos while floating toward Wednesday in her light blue-and-white period costume. &#8220;The crack in your monochrome armor is overbearing arrogance. You positively reek of the stuff.&#8221; The pale apparition then warns Wednesday about the &#8220;price to pay&#8221; (i.e., the body-switching) if she removes her hand from the flame and breaks the raven&#8217;s gaze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gaga reportedly shot her scene in Ireland in a single day. Watch her one-minute, 46-second sequence below. (Rosaline also appears later in the episode, but only for a few seconds.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Woe Thyself&#8221; is the longest episode of the season, clocking in at 69 minutes. Some quick math tells us that Gaga only appeared in about 3 percent of the episode. And that limited screen time will cost her a shot at submitting for Best Comedy Guest Actress at next year&#8217;s Emmy Awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Per the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.televisionacademy.com\/files\/assets\/Downloads\/2025-rules-procedures-v2.1.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Emmy rules;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Emmy rules<\/a> for guest stars, &#8220;The minimum stand-alone and contiguous-screen time (performer has an ongoing engagement in the scene, on or off camera) for eligibility is 5 percent of the total running time of the submitted episode.&#8221; Looks like the Television Academy won&#8217;t be giving this performance its applause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Had the episode&#8217;s running time been shorter, or had Gaga had a slightly larger role, she could have reached the 5 percent threshold needed for eligibility. Gold Derby has reached out to Netflix for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In any event, fans took to social media to express their disappointment at Gaga&#8217;s minimal presence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">News of Gaga&#8217;s guest appearance first broke in November, and Netflix officially confirmed it in May; Gaga had a featured role <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goldderby.com\/tv\/2025\/watch-wednesday-season-2-netflix-tudum-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:in the streamer's Tudum presentation;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">in the streamer&#8217;s Tudum presentation<\/a>, rising from a coffin and performing two different songs to a packed house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Something tells us Gaga will be just fine not receiving a Best Comedy Guest Actress Emmy nomination next year.

She has already been nominated four times at the Primetime Emmys, for <em>Lady Gaga Presents: The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden<\/em> (2011), <em>Tony Bennett &amp; Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live<\/em> (2015), <em>Super Bowl LI Halftime Show Starring Lady Gaga<\/em> (2017), and <em>One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga<\/em> (2022).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And even though she&#8217;ll miss on an acting nod for Wednesday, she still has a path to the Emmys next year for her contributions to the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Sept. 3, the music video for Gaga&#8217;s spooky new song, &#8220;The Dead Dance,&#8221; was released to coincide with Part 2 of <em>Wednesday<\/em>&#8216;s second season. The show&#8217;s producer-director <strong>Tim Burton<\/strong> helmed the nearly five-minute video. The song makes its onscreen debut during Episode 7, in a scene involving Enid and Agnes DeMille (<strong>Evie Templeton<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The Dead Dance&#8221; will likely be a contender at the 2026 Emmys for Best Music &amp; Lyrics, though it is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/don-t-expect-see-lady-004121222.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:not eligible;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">not eligible<\/a> for the 2026 Grammys because it was released four days after the eligibility window closed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first two seasons of <em>Wednesday<\/em> are streaming now on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.email.goldderby.com\/signup\/?source=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Gold Derby's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Gold Derby&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
