98th Oscars® Unveils Star-Studded Performance For Hollywood’s Biggest Night

Executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor and executive producer Katy Mullan announced today the lineup of talent set to perform at the 98th Oscars®. Hosted by Conan O'Brien, the Oscars will air live on ABC March 15, 2026.

The 98th Oscars can also be streamed live on Hulu on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, with the official live red carpet show airing at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.


Oscar® Winners Return To The Oscars® Stage

"This year, our music performances are inspired by two of the most powerful cultural phenomena in film: 'Sinners,' the most nominated film in Oscars history, and 'KPop Demon Hunters,' a global pop culture sensation," noted Kapoor and Mullan. "These show moments are more than just performances—they expand into cinematic tributes that celebrate the relationship between music and storytelling and why these films resonated so deeply with audiences around the world."

The "KPop Demon Hunters" moment begins with a fusion of traditional Korean instrumentalists and dance, celebrating the folklore and cultural inspiration that anchors the story behind this animated blockbuster. As part of this experience, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI, the singing voices behind HUNTR/X, will perform the Oscar®-nominated original song "Golden" from the film.
