Skip to ContentNewsWatch The Sinners & KPop Demon Hunters Performances At The 2026 OscarsBy Abby Jones9:58 PM EDT on March 15, 2026Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyKevin Winter/Getty Images With a whopping 16 nominations this year, including for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, Ryan Coogler's Sinners is the most nominated film in Academy Awards history. Tonight as part of the 2026 Oscars, Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq performed Sinners soundtrack highlight “I Lied To You.”The set featured appearances from special guests Brittany Howard, Shaboozey, Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy (who made a cameo in the film), Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, and Alice Smith, many of whom also appeared on Sinners' star-studded soundtrack.Later on during tonight's Oscars, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — aka the voices of HUNTR/X — performed "Golden," their smash KPop Demon Hunters hit with a traditional Korean spin. In the show's opening, Conan O'Brien made an epic entrance to Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" that inserted him into each of this year's Best Picture nominees (in a wig like Amy Madigan's in Weapons); the second-time host's monologue included a requisite dig at Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet's opera comments. Then, Josh Groban also performed a Shakespearean-themed song about O'Brien receiving the vague, inaugural "Best Achievement" Oscar.During a particularly loaded In Memoriam segment, Barbra Streisand made an appearance to eulogize and honor her late The Way We Were co-star Robert Redford, briefly singing the theme song from the 1973 film.holy crap this entire Sinners musical performance at the Oscars was so freaking cool pic.twitter.com/N5NGDwQvRr— Spencer Althouse (@SpencerAlthouse) March 15, 2026Ese Oscar debe ser de ‘GOLDEN’ mira ese público dándolo todo, ha sido una canción de masas pic.twitter.com/ZxPlCqEcKJ— QuidVacuo (@QuidVacuo) March 16, 2026Conan O'Brien se otorga a sí mismo un Oscar totalmente real.#Oscars#Oscars2026 pic.twitter.com/LqH8kGGnBb— Absoluto Cine (@AbsolutoCine) March 15, 2026Barbra Streisand honors the late Robert Redford at the 2026 #Oscars pic.twitter.com/AXhfy06C8z— clubheartbreak (@clubheartbreak) March 16, 2026Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyAbby Jones@abbyfjones_Read More:Alice Smith,Barbra Streisand,Beastie Boys,Bobby Rush,Brittany Howard,Buddy Guy,Christone “Kingfish” Ingram,Conan O'Brien,Eric Gales,Jayme Lawson,Josh Groban,KPop Demon Hunters,Li Jun Li,Miles Caton,Misty Copeland,Raphael Saadiq,Shaboozey,SinnersGET THE STEREOGUM DIGESTThe week's most important music stories and least important music memes.EmailSign upMore from NewsExplore NewsNewsDiane Warren Breaks Record For Most Oscar Nominations Without A WinMarch 15, 2026NewsOscars 2026: Kpop Demon Hunters Wins Best Song, Sinners Wins Best ScoreMarch 15, 2026NewsHarry Styles Parodies MAHA, Sebastian Maniscalco, And His Own Queerbaiting On SNLMarch 15, 2026NewsCMAT Shares “The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station” Video With Jamie Oliver, Covers Girls Aloud With Katy J PearsonMarch 14, 2026NewsBleachers 2026 Tour Openers Include Wednesday, This is Lorelei, American Football, & MoreMarch 13, 2026NewsBilly Joel Tribute At Carnegie Hall Had Rufus Wainwright, Natalie Merchant, Yola, & MoreMarch 13, 2026
