OSCARS™ is going to be live on ABC and streaming live on HULU on March 15, Sunday, at 7pm ET/4pm PT with the official red carpet show airing at 6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT. Hosted by Conan O'Brien, Executive producer and show runner Raj Kapoor and executive producer Katy Mullan are preparing for the awards broadcast.

"This year, our music performances are inspired by two of the most powerful cultural phenomena in film: 'Sinners,' the most nominated film in Oscar's history, and 'KPop Demon Hunters,' a global pop culture sensation," noted Kapoor and Mullan. "These show moments are more than just performances—they expand into cinematic tributes that celebrate the relationship between music and storytelling and why these films resonated so deeply with audiences around the world."

The "KPop Demon Hunters" moment begins with a fusion of traditional Korean instrumentalists and dance, celebrating the folklore and cultural inspiration that anchors the story behind this animated blockbuster. As part of this experience, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI, the singing voices behind HUNTR/X, will perform the Oscar®-nominated original song "Golden" from the film.

The "Sinners" moment explores the role music plays in the film's storytelling and translates this into a cinematic live moment on the Oscars stage. Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq will perform the Oscar-nominated original song "I Lied To You," and they will be joined by Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith in an homage to the film's singular visual style.

Josh Groban and the Los Angeles Master Chorale will be appearing in the show. Producers will continue to announce who will be appearing throughout the week leading up to the March 15, 2026 ceremony at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The broadcast of the OSCARS red carpet and ceremony on ABC and streaming on Hulu is expected to air live for more than 200 territories worldwide.
