Details of these performances are currently under wraps, but more musical performance announcements will be made leading up to the show on Sunday. In addition to the performers, a live orchestra will also return to the event after being shelved during last year's COVID-19 conscious gathering.

After the ceremony on the 27th, D-Nice will also perform at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science’s post-show celebration, the Governors Ball (not to be confused with the music festival of the same name).

Questlove’s documentary Summer of Soul is also up for Best Original Documentary, and Jonny Greenwood is up for Best Original Score for his work on Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog.
