The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the 2025 Oscars will not include live performances of nominees for Best Original Song. Instead, the ceremony will feature personal reflections from songwriters that tell the stories and inspirations behind the nominated works. This change allows the Academy to focus on honoring Los Angeles and its cultural resilience following wildfires. The decision marks the first time since 2012 that the Oscars will omit live song performances and will additionally be livestreamed on Hulu for the first time.
Instead, the show will recognize the songwriters through personal reflections from the teams who bring these songs to life, uncovering the stories and inspiration behind this year's nominees.
This change will make room for the Academy's plan to honor Los Angeles as a city of dreams, showcasing its beauty and resilience in the wake of the devastating wildfires.
This will mark the first time that the Oscars won't feature live performances of nominated songs since 2012, highlighting a significant shift in the ceremony's tradition.
The Oscars are set to take place on March 2nd, and will be hosted by Conan O'Brien, with livestreaming available for the first time on Hulu.
