The bone Oscars they are the most important celebration of cinema, however, on this occasion music was also the protagonist. The night was shaping up musically when two of music’s biggest pop icons were nominated for Best Original Song, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. However, none of them was able to get their hands on the statuette. Then we leave you with 5 amazing moments that you surely haven’t seen on TV.
A round of applause for the magic of Hollywood
The first performance of the ceremony came from Diane Warren. The artist who has 14 nominations behind his back accompanied Sofia Carson to perform the song Applaud. The singers were introduced by Cara Delevingne herself. It couldn’t be seen on TV, but during this introduction they took it upon themselves to bring a piano up on stage.
The incredible dynamic landscape
The surprise of the 2023 Oscars was a dynamic framework that allowed them to change formats very quickly without the chaos that entails. This came across very well during the performance of David Byrne, Son and Stephanie Hsu Everything everywhere all at once. For this occasion, the artists went under the stage and then appeared out of nowhere with all the musicians.
Lady Gaga’s performance
Lady Gaga kept her performance simple and performed her nominated song Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick. For the show, Lady Gaga appeared dressed very casually, jeans and a basic t-shirt, plus she showed no makeup.
Rihanna and her twelve companions
The other star of the evening could not be other than Rihanna. Pregnant, she was responsible for representing the nominated song lift me up, by Black Panther, Wakanda Forever. To do this, she was accompanied by more than twelve people who lit her up with flashlights because the theater was completely dark.
Tribute to Lenny Kravitz
The evening also had time to honor a music legend like Lenny Kravitz. During the performance of Calling All Angels, the audience was stunned and despite it not being aired on TV, Lenny was left alone on stage, thanking all the support received.
Once again, music and cinema go hand in hand, hopefully for a long time. What was the musical performance that surprised you the most?
