Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to enchant the Oscars with their rendition of “Wicked” numbers, performing it live at this year’s prestigious award show.

Blackpink’s Lisa, fresh from her role in The White Lotus, is set to perform alongside Doja Cat, Queen Latifah, and Raye. Although specifics about their performances are still secret, anticipation is growing for these dynamic artists. Furthermore, it has been announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that the Los Angeles Master Chorale will make a special appearance at this event.

On March 2nd at 4 p.m. Pacific Time, Conan O’Brien will be hosting the 97th Academy Awards, which will be broadcast live on ABC and available to stream on Hulu. The pre-show on the red carpet begins at 3:30 p.m. PT. Interestingly, this year’s ceremony will not include live performances of the Best Original Song nominees. Instead, it will offer exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses and personal perspectives from the songwriters.

The Oscars will also pay tribute to Los Angeles, acknowledging its strength and charm in the wake of the destructive wildfires that hit the city in January. Nick Offerman has been chosen as the event’s host, boasting a star-studded list of presenters. Notable past acting winners such as Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr., and Da’Vine Joy Randolph will reappear, along with other celebrities like Joe Alwyn, Ana de Armas, Halle Berry, Willem Dafoe, Scarlett Johansson, Oprah Winfrey, and others.

2025’s Academy Awards is set to offer an unparalleled evening filled with top-tier musical acts, LA’s most illustrious celebrities gracing the stage, and a deeply moving homage to our beloved city, Los Angeles.
