(Last year, some categories were taped in a pre-show, something that caused an uproar among academy members.) All signs point to a full slate of musical performances, with Rihanna performing Lift Me Up from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Kala Bhairava singing MM Keeravaani’s Naatu Naatu from RRR. No official word yet on whether Lady Gaga will sing Hold My Hand, from Top Gun: Maverick, during the show. On Monday, show producers announced that Lenny Kravitz will deliver the In Memoriam performance.
