As the Oscars 2023 ceremony nears the date, details for the grand show are already unfolding each day. Now, the Academy Awards just announced a new performer for the upcoming show.
'This Is A Life' Oscars Performance 2023
Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, the "Everything Everywhere All At Once" song, "This Is A Life," will be performed at the ceremony by Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nominees Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne, and Son Lux.
Mitski, who originally performed the song on the film's soundtrack, was reported to be filled in by Hsu. It is, however, not disclosed if she will still be present on the Awards night, as it wasn't also revealed if she was just incapacitated to perform on the actual performance. (via Billboard)
Aside from "This Is A Life," it was reported by the Academy that Rihanna would be performing her Golden Globe-nominated song "Lift Me Up," following her recent success at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime show. "Lift Me Up" is also in the running for Best Original song from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."
