Hollywood’s biggest night arrived on Sunday (March 15), and not only were Tinseltown’s A-list stars dressed in their finest and most stylish for the 2026 Oscars, but so were the musicians being honored for their work in film over the past year.
Among them were the singing voices behind HUNTR/X — EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI — who delivered the glorious vocals behind KPop Demon Hunters‘ Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Golden.” The three artists — who are also being honored as Billboard‘s Women of the Year — are set to perform the song from Netflix’s animated film during the telecast. The Oscars coproducers revealed ahead of the show that their performance would incorporate Korean instruments and dance to celebrate the folklore and culture of the film. KPop Demon Hunters is nominated not only for best original song with “Golden,” but also best animated film.
The other best song performance of the night will be by Sinners‘ Michael Caton and Raphael Saadiq, with “I Lied to You.” The film helmed by Ryan Coogler earned an impressive 16 nominations to become the most nominated movie in Oscar history.
Other musicians on the Oscars red carpet include Diane Warren, who is up for “Dear Me.” This is her ninth year in a row to be nominated, and the first musician to achieve this feat. Auli’i Cravalho as well as Brandi Carlile showed off their style as they arrived.
The 98th Annual Academy Awards are held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, with Conan O’Brien as the host for the second year in a row. The show kicks off live at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and streams on Hulu.
