Who's performing at the 2025 Oscars? Here's a preview of the performances

The 2025 Academy Awards, the biggest night in Hollywood, celebrate the Oscar nominees for best movies and film performances of the past year — but for some fans, the music is a highlight.

Traditionally, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has the best song nominees perform their songs, but in a rare move, this year it was announced that none of the five nominated songs would be performed at the show. Those potential performers would have included Elton John, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, H.E.R. and Diane Warren.

Instead, the show's producers are going in a different direction, saying that Sunday's show will be "celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends."
