It’s somewhat of an Oscar tradition to have all the best original song nominees performed at the ceremony, and the Academy will be honoring it this year. Billie Eilish, Becky G, and Ryan Gosling will bring the nominated songs to LA’s Dolby Theatre in less than two weeks.
Eilish is the front-runner to win the best original song with “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie, and she’ll deliver another rendition of this moving ballad at the Oscars ceremony. She previously won a Grammy and a Golden Globe for co-writing this song with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell.
“I’m Just Ken” from Barbie is also a strong contender for this award, and we’ll get to hear it live during the Oscars. Ryan Gosling, who performed this viral hit in the original film, will bring the Kenergy to the Academy Awards alongside Mark Ronson.
Becky G will take the stage to perform Diane Warren’s “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, while Jon Batiste will deliver a rendition of “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony. They’ll be joined by Scott George and the Osage Singers, performing “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon.
The 2024 Academy Awards will return to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show.
