The 2023 Oscars Awards will boast a star-studded lineup of performers this year, you wouldn't want to miss it. Here's how you can watch the telecast.
This year's Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Mar. 12, and it will be a night to remember.
For one, this is the first time in three years that all five nominees for Best Orginal Song will perform their respective nominated songs.
Although there isn't any word yet on which of the performers will go first or last, fans are eagerly anticipating these performances-especially Rihanna's.
The Barbadian singer stunned the world with her Super Bowl halftime show last month, as she performed some of her award-winning and chart-topping hits like "Diamond, "Work," "Rude Boy," and more.
That performance was so monumental because it was the first time in years that she has performed live, and tonight's Oscars will be her second.
Rihanna will be performing "Lift Me Up" from the Marvel movie "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."
This song also happens to be the singer's first release in years, her last music release was 2016's "Anti."
Another highly anticipated performer lined up for tonight is Lady Gaga, who will be performing her song "Hold My Hand" from the movie "Top Gun: Maverick."
This is Gaga's second time performing at the Academy Award, as her first time was "Shallow" with Bradley Cooper for the movie, "A Star Is Born."
The singer bagged an Oscar for the same song; "Hold My Hand" is her fourth Oscar nomination.
Gaga performing the nominated song comes as a complete surprise to fans and viewers as it was initially announced that she was not going to make it because she is filming "Joker: Folie à Deux" with Joaquin Pheonix and Robert De Niro.
"We have a great relationship with Lady Gaga and her camp. She is in the middle of shooting a movie right now," said Glenn Weiss previously.
"Here, we are honoring the movie industry and what it takes to make a movie after a bunch of back and forth... It didn't feel like she can get a performance to the caliber that we're used to with her and that she is used to. So, she is not going to perform on the show."
Sofia Carson and Diane Warren will be performing "Applause" from the movie "Tell It Like a Woman."
Both women are no strangers to performing and the Academy Award stage.
According to reports, Warren is an Oscar veteran who has been nominated 14 times for Best Song, however, she still has not won yet.
David Bryne, Stephanie Hsu, and Son Lux will also be performing tonight. The trio will sing "This is a Life" from "Everything Everywhere All at Once."
The movie was nominated in nine different categories, Best Orginal Song is one.
Then there are Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, who will perform "Naatu Naatu" from the movie "RRR." The pair came all the way from India to perform, and they are hopeful that they will take home the award.
