Oscars Will Skip Best Original Songs Performances This Year

[RAMROD 105,264]

 

The songs nominated in the Best Original Song category at this year’s Academy Awards will not be performed live on the Oscar show, according to an email sent to Academy members Wednesday afternoon.

In a letter to the membership, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang said that the presentation would “move away  from live performances” and instead celebrate the nominated songwriters through “personal reflections.”
 

That decision would do away with performances that could include Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez performing the “Emilia Perez” songs “El Mal” and “Mi Camino,” respectively, as well as performances of new songs from Elton John, Maren Morris, H.E.R. and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

The move comes a year after an Oscar show whose most talked-about moment was Ryan Gosling’s performance of the nominated song “I’m Just Ken” from “Barbie.”

The email does promise “powerful musical moments that connect film’s rich history to its bold and inspiring future.” It also says that this year’s show will be “a celebration of connection and collaboration – honoring the unifying spirit and creative synergy of moviemaking.” It promises a return to what it calls “Fab 5” moments, apparently the acting presentations in which five past winners each celebrate one of the nominees.

And it will pay special attention to Los Angeles, “showcasing its beauty and resilience.”

Isnt that a bit of a strong word for something like this?

 

Usual context:

"I am disgusted people had their rights taken away"

" I am disgusted that man was apologetic to a rapist and defended him"

" I am disgusted this genocide killed 100,000 innocent people"

 

Your comment:

" I am disgusted An entertainment show changed their format because I think the old one was fine"
