Who's Performing at the 2025 Oscars? Here's a Preview of the Performances

The 2025 Academy Awards, a pinnacle event in Hollywood, is all set to honor the best films and performances from the past year. Alongside this celebration, the Oscars are also gearing up for some impressive musical performances that fans eagerly anticipate.

Every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences highlights the best song nominees with live performances. However, in a surprising announcement for this year, it was revealed that none of the five nominated songs would be performed at the ceremony. Potential artists like Elton John, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, H.E.R., and Diane Warren would have graced the stage, but instead, the show's producers are focusing on celebrating the filmmaking community and their legends.
