There are only a few hours left to release the new edition of the Oscars 2023, where the winners of this year’s awards will be announced. During the 95th edition, there will be five performances that will set the scene for the awards ceremony.
After confirming her return to the stage with her performance at Super Bowl 2023, Rihanna will be the star of the gala. And she will do it, neither more nor less, than singing pregnant Lift me up, the song that ‘elevates’ the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda forever. For the first time live, she will give life to the theme with which she has achieved her first nomination.
The next star of the night will be Lenny Kravitz, who will perform in the In Memoriam segment, a space to remember the professionals of the film world over the past year.
Another of the featured artists of the night will be the actress and singer SofÃa Carson, together with the composer Diane Warren, who will fight for the golden statuette with their song Applause from the film Tell It Like a Woman.
This is a life, the soundtrack to Everything at Once Everywhere will also be present at the nominations, and will be performed by David Byrne along with the group Son Lux and the actress nominated for best supporting actress, Stephanie Hs.
The last theme that will sound under the spotlights of the stage will be Naatu Naatu, the main theme of the hit Netflix movie RRR, performed by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, and who aspires as a favorite to win recognition after winning the Golden Globes.
Lady Gaga, who won the Oscar for best song with her theme Shallow from A Star Is Born, is once again nominated for the third consecutive year at the Oscars. However, in this edition she will not go on stage to interpret Hold My Hand from the film Top Gun: Maverik, since she has not had time to rehearse because she is busy filming Joker 2: Folie à Deux.
