Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who star in the best picture-nominated blockbuster, are set to perform at the Academy Awards on Sunday, according to a news release. Doja Cat, Lisa of Blackpink, Queen Latifah and Grammy-nominated artist Raye will also be taking the stage.

For many involved in the Oscars, the fires have been felt acutely. O'Brien's Pacific Palisades home survived but his family has been unable to go back to it. O'Brien's assistant and podcast co-host Sona Movsesian lost her home.

Doja Cat, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, LISA of Blackpink, Queen Latifah and RAYE have been announced as musical performers for this year’s 97th Annual Academy Awards. The Academy says they will participate in “showstopping performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends at the 97th Oscars”.
