He's not attending because he knows he's not going to win

Now, seriously. I amvery pissed because of this. It is fair enough for all the winners to perform, isnt it? I mean, the Academy is taking sides and it must not be like that.

Good for her, she won't be wasting her time. But The Oscars didn't care for her before, they won't care for her now.

Her song "Manta Ray" really deserves to win, it's amazing! But yes fingers crossed for Gags!

It is evident that they want more commercial artists to perform cause it's not just an award ceremony but also a big tv event! She shouldn't feel offended because she has been treated equally at the award part-i guess so-the commercial tv thing is something else!

Well, I see how that can be frustrating...
She's right, that's one of the things that should be reformulated in the Oscars...they give so much time for jokes that people are only going to complain about in following day, why not taking 10 minutes and letting the other 2 songs be performed?

Agree 

But I would still attend the show :green:, like, it's the Oscars, you can't go there every time :giveup:

Even if she weren't nominated, Anohni should be allowed to perform at any given opportunity. I highly recommend 'I Am A Bird Gerhl' if anyone is unfamiliar with her work.

This live Beyoncé cover is also fantastic and highly emotive:

She's absolutely right.

I was so disappointed when I saw she won't be performing; Manta Ray is such a gorgeous song, my favourite probaly, along with Simple Song #3. (I still love TIHTY a whole lot, of course) And now when I know the reason...

The Academy can **** themselvs. There, I said it. I'm getting more and more convinced at how stupid these award shows really are. Shame.

They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.

She's a transgender woman. Still confused why the news papers and reports have to specifically point out the name she was assigned at birth.

I'm disappointed too. I think every nominee should perform. I don't understand what new time constraints there is. Maybe they plan to have a long drawn out segment about equality instead of actually doing something about it. Actions speak louder than words.

Why do so many people keep using the wrong pronouns? :awkney:

You all know damn well if Gaga was up for an original song and they had her not perform you'd be crying on Twitter making up hashtags like #TheOscarsAreNothingWithoutGaga #BoycottTheOscarsForGaga but because it doesn't involve her you don't care or see the point in it. 

Anyways, I see her point and agree with her. :applause:
