Overview
- Only “I Lied To You” from Sinners and “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters will be performed live during the March 15 telecast.
- A letter to nominees signed by executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan and producer Taryn Hurd detailed the plan and cited time constraints.
- Producers estimate five live numbers would add about 25 minutes, noting the show also introduces a new competitive category for Best Casting.
- The remaining nominated songs will appear in tailored packages using film footage, with potential behind-the-scenes material and promotional support.
- This limited-performance approach is set to continue until a planned move of the broadcast to YouTube in 2029 allows a longer runtime.
