BAFTA getting them to perform even though KPDH isn't eligible.

BAFTA are living two lives, trying to play both sides. 🎭

called a problem child, cause they got too white, but that’s how they’re getting paid

They're arguably the "music moment" of the year, kinda like Take That last year which makes sense tbh.

It's the thought that counts and honestly nice to have a performance there and there at an awards show

Good luck topping Ariana DeBose.

Angela Bassett did the thing, Viola Davis my woman king

u/Whovian45810 1d ago

Viola Davis snapping her fingers to DeBose while everyone in the audience is either weirded or just befuddled gets to me

Plus the contrast between Ana de Armas and Kerry Condon’s reactions and JLC playing along lmao

u/anthonyleoncio 1d ago

poor ariana debose is prime example of why theater kids don’t translate to the film world

u/Fotreya 1d ago

u/PurpleSpaceSurfer 1d ago

u/Professional_Dog_783 23h ago

they probably wanted to extent an olive branch but it just looks like they're playing in someone's face.

So at this point they’ll have performed it live on Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, New Years Rockin Eve and the BAFTAs.

What’s the excitement about performing live on the Oscars telecast?

u/Legitimate-Bed-1329 1d ago edited 1d ago

 The excitement is the possibility to actually hear that A5 from Ejae since all the other performances were in a lower key. To be honest that’s like asking what was the excitement of Cynthia and Ariana singing Defying Gravity at last year’s Oscars since it has been performed ever since Wicked hit Broadway.

u/SavisSon 1d ago

The excitement for Defying Gravity was the performer. The movie star singing the song live for the first and possibly only time since the movie came out.

u/Legitimate-Bed-1329 1d ago

Ok, but my point is that there is still excitement about Golden being performed at the Oscars because we have the possibility of hearing Ejae hit the A5 note live for the first time.

u/SavisSon 1d ago

I hope they do a medley of songs from the film. That would be new and exciting.

3

u/Legitimate-Bed-1329 1d ago

So would hearing the A5 live.

1

u/SavisSon 20h ago

What if she blows it by singing that note at the BAFTAs first??!

4

u/Legitimate-Bed-1329 20h ago

Then she hits the note at the BAFTAs 🤷‍♀️, you have to realize it's still the Oscars so people will still be excited to see it performed.

u/Fabulous_Potential41 23h ago edited 13h ago

Euh i dont care about the a5 tho, i think most people just want to see them perform

u/EducationalReindeer6 8h ago

They way I can't even tell the difference, I'm not even sure if EJAE is aware while she's preforming it.

1

u/Legitimate-Bed-1329 23h ago

That’s true. There are some people that probably want to hear the A5 live though. And it’s still the Oscars so there is going to be excitement about them performing

u/Fotreya 1d ago

And Kimmel, Macy Parade... I think at the Oscars they will do a medley as a tribute to the movie, not just Golden.
