Oscars 2024: Who is performing at the Academy Awards?

It’s become a time-honored tradition at the Academy Awards for the tunes nominated for Best Original Song to be performed onstage at the Oscars, often by the very artists who provided their vocals for the film in question. The 96th annual Academy Awards will be no exception, and one of the most anticipated parts of this year’s show will be the live performances.

While we can’t predict the exact times that the songs will be performed, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the full lineup of artists who will take the stage this Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California.

Who is performing at the 2024 Oscars?

As you may have gathered from the image above, Best Supporting Actor nominee Ryan Gosling will sing his song, I’m Just Ken, from Barbie. For that performance, Gosling will be accompanied by the song’s co-writer, Mark Ronson, and Andrew Wyatt.

Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, will also represent Barbie when they perform their song What Was I Made For? Becky G will take the stage for The Fire Inside, from Flamin’ Hot. Killers of the Flower Moon‘s Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People) will be performed by Scott George and the Osage Singers. Jon Batiste will also appear and sing his song It Never Went Away from American Symphony.

Who will be the presenters at the Oscars?

Unless an Oscar winner for Best Actor gets out of their seat and slaps a presenter (as Will Smith did to Chris Rock in 2022), they tend to be invited back the following year to present the award for Best Actress. Similarly, the Best Actress winner from the previous year presents the following year’s Best Actor award. The same is true for the Best Supporting Actress and Actor winners. At this year’s Oscars, 2023’s winners — Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis — will fill those roles.

The rest of this year’s presenters include a Scarface reunion of Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer, as well as Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Hemsworth, Nicolas Cage, Michael Keaton, Lupita Nyong’o, Mahershala Ali, Matthew McConaughey, Zendaya, Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Lange, Kate McKinnon, Regina King, Octavia Spencer, Sam Rockwell, John Mulaney, Ramy Youssef, Rita Moreno, Catherine O’Hara, and Bad Bunny.

What time will the Oscars be held?

This year’s ceremony is starting an hour earlier than normal at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET on Sunday, March 10. The 96th Academy Awards will be broadcast on ABC and streamed through the ABC app or via cable and live-service providers.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (November 2024)
A woman puts her head up against a window.

Netflix has a pair of original films in the top two slots of the list of the most popular movies on the streamer: Don't Move and Time Cut. The former is better than the latter, but you won't hear Netflix complaining about having two homegrown hits to kick off the month of November. They both qualify as horror films too, although they take very different approaches to the genre.

Thankfully, there are still a lot of other options, including the family-friendly animated flick, Kung Fu Panda 4, as well as Woman of the Hour, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and A Quiet Place Part II. Netflix has a particularly strong lineup of movies on loan from other studios at the moment, so enjoy it while it lasts. But if you need more options, check out our list of the best movies on Netflix right now. There's something here for everyone, and we update this list every Friday.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (November 2024)
Mark Wahlberg in Infinite.

Amazon Prime Video is turning over a new leaf in November. Or at least turning over its movie library. Many movies left Prime Video at the end of October, but new additions have arrived, including The Godfather, one of the all-time classics. Meanwhile, Infinite, a little-seen action film starring Mark Wahlberg, has suddenly found its audience on Prime Video. It's been the No. 1 movie on the streamer for almost two weeks now, which is impressive for a film that skipped theaters. Usually, it's Netflix that makes random action flicks into hits.

Last week's additions, Canary Black and Monkey Man, are still streaming for the action fans in your life. But if you still want some scares after Halloween, Terrifier 2, Constantine, and 10 Cloverfield Lane are sticking around through the end of the month. You can find these films and more among the best movies on Amazon Prime Video right now. We update this list every Friday morning so you can stay on top of the newest arrivals.

While Apple TV+ might not launch as many new shows as frequently as the other streaming services, it's all about quality over quantity for this streamer. Apple TV+ hits it out of the park with almost every original series, which ranges from thrillers and docuseries to comedies and dramas. Chances are at least one of your favorite shows from the last few years is from Apple TV+; think Ted Lasso and Severance.

While some shows have already ended their runs and others aren't returning with new seasons until 2025, there are plenty of great shows available in the expansive Apple TV+ library. This includes shows like Silo and Bad Sisters that both return this month with new seasons. Look at this list of the best shows on Apple TV+ right now, and chances are there's a great one you haven't watched yet.
