The Sinners cast and Misty Copeland bring the house down with I Lied to You Oscars performance
I have one question after watching the Sinners cast perform the film’s Academy Award-nominated song “I Lied To You” at the Oscars, and that is: Sinners stage musical, when?
The Oscars performance sweeps viewers up in the film’s most breathtaking sequence, when blues singer Sammie “Preacher Boy” Moore (Miles Caton) performs, his music so powerful it transcends space and time. Soon, Sinners‘ juke joint revelers are joined by performers from the past and present, including DJs, ballerinas, and traditional Chinese opera dancers.
Sinners brought that genre-bending magic right to the Oscars, along with an onstage recreation of the film’s juke joint. Caton and Raphael Saadiq performed “I Lied to You” alongside renowned singers and songwriters Eric Gales, Buddy Guy (who also appears in the movie as older Sammie), Brittany Howard, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey, and Alice Smith. Misty Copeland, the first Black woman to be named Principal Dancer at the American Ballet Theater, also took the stage, as did cast members Jayme Lawson and Li Jun Li.
Coming just under an hour into the Oscars telecast, this tribute to the power of music, especially the blues, is already a highlight of the night, earning a well-deserved standing ovation.
Want more Sinners musical goodness? Then check out Guy and Caton’s Tiny Desk Concert, where they perform a stripped-down version of “I Lied to You” and “Travelin’.”

Conan OBrien channels Weapons Aunt Gladys in glorious Oscars cold open
Conan O’Brien channeled his inner Aunt Gladys (Academy Award winner Amy Madigan) to kick off the 98th Academy Awards.
During a pre-recorded segment, the Oscars host donned the Weapons‘ villain’s iconic reg wig and clownish makeup before getting chased down to the Dolby Theater by a troupe of bloodthirsty kids.
Along the way, he made several pit stops throughout 2025’s Oscar-nominated movies. He darted across the race track in F1. He scored a point in a ping pong match against Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme. He charged across the stage during Hamnet‘s poignant climax, rode shotgun with One Battle After Another‘s Benicio del Toro, and even begged Sinners‘ Smoke and Stack (Michael B. Jordan) to let him into their juke joint.
Plus, he learned Norwegian just to get dressed down by Stellan Skarsgård in Sentimental Value. O’Brien may have regretted picking up the new language just for a bit, but we appreciate the effort.
Unlike in Weapons, O’Brien’s Aunt Gladys actually made it out alive. O’Brien arrived on the Oscars stage totally unscathed (and sadly, wigless).

Kylie Jenner Joins Timothee Chalamet at Oscars After Skipping Red Carpet
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been causing a stir since they were first linked in April 2023.
News broke in spring 2023 that the Kardashians star and the Oscar nominee were spending time together following Jenner’s split from on-off boyfriend Travis Scott. (Jenner shares daughter Stormi and son Aire with Scott, whom she broke up with following the 2022 holidays.)
After Us Weekly confirmed Jenner and Chalamet’s romance that April, a source exclusively told Us that the actor “is a total gentleman and treats [Kylie] with respect.”
The couple have become more public as the years have gone on, stepping out at a basketball game in May 2025 and making their red carpet debut that same month. When Chalamet won his first Critics Choice Award in January 2026, Jenner was in the audience — and featured in his acceptance speech. He gave her another shoutout the following weekend at the 2026 Golden Globes.
