2026 Oscars Performer Lineup: HUNTR/X and Sinners Cast to Take Stage
"The singing voices behind KPop Demon Hunters girl group HUNTR/X - EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami - will deliver a unique performance of their worldwide smash, the Oscar-nominated 'Golden,' which promises to 'celebrate the folklore and cultural inspiration' behind the Netflix animated film. This will be accomplished through a fusion of traditional Korean instrumentalists and dance."
"The Sinners moment will feature star Miles Caton performing 'I Lied to You,' which is also nominated for Best Original Song. The track's co-writer, Raphael Saadiq, will join Caton alongside Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Shaboozey, Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, and Alice Smith."
"Sinners broke a record with 16 nominations at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. While KPop Demon Hunters only received nods for Best Original Song and Best Animated Film, it is a favorite to win in both categories."
