Oscars 2026: Who all are performing?
Fans can look forward to two Oscar-nominated songs lighting up the stage tonight: ‘Golden’ from KPop Demon Hunters and ‘I Lied to You’ from Sinners – the film leading this year’s Academy Awards race with a record 16 nominations.
The live entertainment lineup at the 2026 Oscars will also include appearances by singer Josh Groban and the Los Angeles Master Chorale.
Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — the voices behind Huntrix, the fictional K-pop group in KPop Demon Hunters — will perform ‘Golden.’ According to a report by NBC News, the Academy said the performance will open with Korean instrumentalists and dance, ‘celebrating the folklore and cultural inspiration’ woven into the film’s story.
‘I Lied to You’ from Sinners will also take the stage in a star-packed performance by Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq. It would be joined by Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith.
The Academy said the performance will “explore the role music plays in the film’s storytelling” and is designed to be an homage to the “singular visual style” of “Sinners.”
