The Oscar-nominated Original Song nominees were front and center at the Oscars on Sunday, including the first Indian song to be nominated in the category: “Naatu Naatu” from RRR.
The night kicked off with 14-time nominee Diana Warren’s “Applause,” from the documentary Tell It Like a Woman. Sofia Carson sang lead vocals.
Next, Stephanie Hsu, nominated this year for Supporting Actress for Everything Everywhere All at Once, sang “This Is a Life” from the film, joined by David Byrne.
Up next was Lady Gaga, who originally planned on not performing during tonight’s ceremony before changing her mind at the last minute. The pop star, who won an Oscar for the song “Shallow” from A Star Is Born in 2019, sang “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick wearing ripped black jeans and T-shirt. At the end of the song, a slide came up on the screen dedicating the song to Tony Scott, the director of the original Top Gun who committed suicide in 2012.
Still to come in tonight’s ceremony: Rihanna singing “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Check back for that.
