Doja Cat, LISA, & Raye Among Oscars Performers In Lieu Of Best Original Song Nominees
The Best Original Song nominees will not perform at this year’s Oscars. Earlier this year, the heads of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences announced that this year’s broadcast would drop the usual song performances, and the world rejoiced. Finally, we could get through an entire Oscars telecast with no awkward musical performances. This seemed especially crucial once this year’s deeply uninspiring nominees were unveiled — two Emilia Pérez tracks, one Elton John/Brandi Carlile song from a Disney documentary, the joint that Black Puma Adrian Quesada produced for Sing Sing, and the perennial slot reserved for a Diane Warren ballad from a movie that barely exists. But as it turns out, we will get awkward musical performances during this year’s telecast, and at least one of them will come from LISA, Raye, and Doja Cat.
