Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq will perform the Sinners song “I Lied To You.” They will be joined by “Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith in an homage to the film’s singular visual style.”
“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. 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,” showrunner Raj Kapoor and executive producer Katy Mullan said.
Both of these songs are nominated as well.
Conan O’Brien is hosting the 2026 ceremony, which airs Sunday (March 15) at 7 p.m. ET on ABC. See who is taking the stage to present so far!
