It could have been another nasty riot situation -- but thanks to the LAPD, Lady Gaga made it to Jimmy Kimmel's studio in one piece ... and she expressed her gratitude in a handwritten note.

According to sources at the Chateau Marmont -- where Gaga is staying -- a hotel employee handed the note out to fans ... in which LG thanks the police for keeping the peace.

Gaga is set to appear tonight on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

As we previously reported, cops in riot gear descended on Hollywood last night -- after an impromptu "Electric Daisy Carnival Experience" premiere concert turned into a free-for-all.  Truth be told ... it was kinda lame. 

Shooting bean bags?  Seriously?

Kevin Smith Explains His Oscar Campaign Plans, Defends $20 Ticket Price for Qualifying Run

Kevin Smith Explains His Oscar Campaign Plans, Defends $20 Ticket Price for Qualifying RunWhen word hit that Kevin Smith was aiming for the Oscars with a qualifying theatrical run for his divisive film, Red State, critics split over his perceived goals and, more specifically, the financial terms of his week-long engagement at L.A.’s beloved, family-run New Beverly Cinema. Reached for comment, Smith explained his award season intent and why he’s charging $20 for a screening and Q&A at a theater where you can get a double feature for $7 every night, often with an amazing Q&A for free.

Smith, who’s achieved a successful run thus far with his self-distributed Red State roadshow tour charging $65 a ticket with little advertising costs and expenditures, will screen his film from August 19-25 at the New Beverly Cinema in order to qualify for Academy consideration for his cast, including actors Michael Parks, Melissa Leo, and John Goodman.

“To be clear: this Academy-qualifying run is STRICTLY about the ACTORS,” Smith said in an e-mail to Movieline (emphasis his). “I’m not looking for consideration (or even kevsideration) for myself; I just want to see the true talents behind our flick get at least a shot at their propers.”

Smith’s overall awards season campaign plans will follow the cost-effective plotting of his release strategy, which was publicized through word of mouth, social media, and Smith’s established fan base and podcast. “Naturally, in keeping with every aspect of [the] Red State adventure thus far, any campaign will be no-budget,” Smith wrote. “I’m hoping common sense saves us a bunch of money for costly trade ads: When December 31st rolls around, if there aren’t five better supporting actor performances than the dramatic clinic Michael Parks operates in…
