Glenn Close, who starred in The Wife, ended up beating out Gaga, 32, for the top prize.

However, “Gaga was asked countless times what she was going to do when she wins and had it in her head that this was in the bag,” the source said of one of the evening’s biggest upsets.

"When she lost she could hardly contain her tears,” continued the source. “She was not happy at all and had to take a breather after to contain herself. She never thought she would lose to Glenn Close!”

Despite the loss, Gaga did win one Golden Globe — her second — at the Jan. 7 show for best original song for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born.

“She is grateful, obviously, for ‘Shallow’ taking home the award, but she was really certain that the movie would take home a bunch more,” said the source.
