Why Oscar dissed Encanto’s ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’

If you were expecting to hear a lot about Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars on March 27, tonight’s Saturday Night Live cold open didn’t have a lot to offer.

Chris Rock‘s brother didn’t mince words when addressing Will Smith‘s Oscars slap, slamming the “King Richard” star for the controversial moment heard and seen around the world.

Daniel Radcliffe has never been more relatable. The Harry Potter star, 32, appeared on Good Morning Britan March 31 to promote his new movie The Lost City and was asked about the 2022 Oscar slap. Instead of revealing if he sides more with Will Smith, 53, or with Chris Rock, 57, Daniel made it clear that he’s over the whole thing.

Rapper August Alsina is advocating for “peace” in the wake of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. For those that forget, August, 29, had an imfafous “entanglement” with Jada Pinkett Smith years ago that all parties involved later confirmed was true. So after the shocking Oscars incident, where Will, 53, defended Jada, 50, by smacking Chris, 57, in the face over a joke about her bald head, August appeared to weigh in on the drama with a cryptic message he shared to Instagram.

Will Smith will reportedly address the punch heard across the globe on his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith's show, Red Table Talk On Sunday night's Oscars, Will, who later went on to receive the Best Actor award for his role in the biopic King Richard, punched host Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada. Chris made a quip about Jada's shaved hairstyle and, despite initially being seen laughing, Will walked on stage and smacked the comedian around the face before angrily shouting: "Keep my wife's name out your f**king mouth." And after reportedly refusing to talk to reporters at the afterparties, it has now been claimed that the 53 year old will break his silence on the altercation of his wife's hugely popular Facebook show.

Oscar winner Will Smith has been filmed dancing to his own music at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party hours after he stunned audiences by hitting Chris Rock on stage. Smith won his first Academy Award for King Richard but appeared to take offence to a gag Rock made about Pinkett Smith’s short haircut.

The Los Angeles Police Department says that Chris Rock has declined to file a police report against Will Smith after the “King Richard” actor slapped him on the Oscars stage. While the LAPD left out the names of both Smith and Rock in their statement, they add that if Rock wishes to file a police report at a later date, the department will be available. “LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program.

Megan Thee Stallion is putting her own spin on “Bruno”!

Encanto for the of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” at . John Leguizamo (who voices Bruno) introduced the splashy performance, which featured Encanto stars Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan and Diane Guerrero, alongside musicians Becky G and Luis Fonsi. Introducing the colorful staging, Leguizamo poked fun at the song’s earworm status.

sang the hit song «We Don't Talk About Bruno» on Sunday at the 94th Academy Awards, with a little help from Megan Thee Stallion! After the cast kicked off the highly anticipated performance, Megan made a surprise appearance and added a remix version to the hit track. Though the Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned song isn't nominated for an Oscar, it has broken numerous records including the longest-reigning Disney chart topper, surpassing 's «Let It Go.» Cast members Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel), Carolina Gaitan (Pepa), Mauro Castillo (Félix), Diane Guerrero (Isabela), and Adassa (Dolores) took to the stage to belt out the celebrated song. They were joined by Latinx artists Becky G and Luis Fonsi.  Gaitán slayed in the opening segment with a stunning yellow dress and sparkling earrings and necklace to match the flawless look.  Despite the critical acclaim and commercial success of «We Don't Talk About Bruno,» Disney opted to submit the love song «Dos Oruguitas» from for Oscar consideration, landing it in the Best Original Song category. The song is going up against Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from, Van Morrison’s “Down to Joy” from , Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s “No Time to Die” from, and Diane Warren’s “Somehow You Do” from .ET spoke with composer and lyricist Miranda earlier this month at the Critics Choice Awards about the impact of «Bruno.»«The first person I got a DM from was [director] Taika Waititi, and he was the first one that was like, 'It's constant with my kids! It's constant right now.

wasn’t actually nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar.Cast members Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan, and Diane Guerrero performed the infections song alongside the previously announced Becky G and Luis Fonsi and a very unannounced Megan Thee Stallion. And while it indeed was a hoot, it wasn’t exactly the live-action performance many of us were expecting (okay all of us were expecting), especially when the Lin-Manuel Miranda lyrics were swapped out with some platitudes about Oscar night.“Encanto” was nominated elsewhere for Best Original Score (Germaine Franco ultimately lost to Hans Zimmer and his “Dune” music), Best Animated Feature, and Best Original Song (for “Dos Oruguitas”).The song’s placement in the awards show actually raised eyebrows, as ABC started advertising the performance on the first day of Oscar voting, which some nominees felt was tipping the awards towards “Encanto” in an unfair way.

Chris Willman Music WriterLin-Manuel Miranda was not on hand to accept Oscar accolades Sunday night, but his work was certainly well-represented, as his song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” provided the Academy Awards telecast one of its splashier moments, uniting voice-cast members from “Encanto” with additional top music stars.It’s almost unprecedented for a song that could have been nominated for the best original song Oscar but wasn’t to get a performance on the Oscars. That’s nonetheless what happened for the 2022 show, as Miranda’s more somber ballad, “Dos Oruguitas,” was what got nominated by Disney from “Encanto,” and ultimately nominated.

The beloved Encanto song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” will be performed at the Oscars this weekend, but it has no chance at winning the award for Best Original Song.

 singalong «We Don't Talk About Bruno» has taken the world by storm, popping up everywhere from TikTok trends to the top of the Billboard charts. It will even be performed at Sunday's Academy Awards, as cast members from the Disney animated film --  Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan and Diane Guerrero — will take the stage to perform the tune live for the first time ever, alongside Latin music stars Becky G and Luis Fonsi.However, «Bruno» won't be a winner on Oscars night.

As I tipped in my story on the Best Original Song performers announced on Tuesday for the 94th Annual Academy Awards, another key movie song not mentioned in their release, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto will also be performed on the big show even though it wasn’t even submitted by Disney and songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda for consideration in the category where Miranda is a nominee for another tune from the same film, “Dos Oruguitas” also from Encanto. 

Andrew Garfield received a second Oscar nomination for his luminous performance in the Netflix film “Tick, Tick… Boom!” directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Garfield brings a warm earnestness and passionate vocal skills to the role of writer and composer Jonathan Larson.
