The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday that Beyoncé will take the Dolby Theatre stage during Sunday’s Oscars to perform the nominated original song “Be Alive,” which she co-wrote for the film “King Richard.” Meanwhile, country music legend Reba McEntire will perform Diane Warren’s nominee “Somehow You Do” from the film “Four Good Days.”
Grammy sensations Billie Eilish and her producer/musician/brother Finneas will team up to perform their nominated song “No Time to Die,” the title track for the James Bond film of the same name. Sebastián Yatra will perform Lin-Manuel Miranda’s song “Dos Oruguitas” from the animated hit “Encanto.”
The only original-song nominee that won’t be performed during Sunday’s show will be “Down to Joy” from “Belfast.” According to the Academy, songwriter Van Morrison was invited to perform, but is unable to do so because of his tour schedule.
Travis Barker and Sheila E. will also be performing during the show, along with pianist Robert Glasper and The Samples, a vocal group led by Jason White. An “All-Star Band” featuring telecast music director Adam Blackstone will also perform on the show, along with DJ D-Nice — who will also provide entertainment at the post-ceremony Governors Ball.
This year’s Oscar show will also feature the return of an orchestra.
The ceremony will air live on ABC, and will be hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes.
