News of the first performer taking the stage at the ceremony is in! And that would be Ryan Gosling singing "I'm Just Ken" from the Barbie movie live! The song has also been nominated in the Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song) category. There were rumors going around for months on whether this was going to happen, and now it's confirmed.

Plus in more good news, Billie Eilish will also take the stage to serenade us with "What Was I Made For?" from the movie's soundtrack. We shared the list of performers so far below:

Oscars 2024 nominees

There's a total of 23 categories at the 2024 Oscars, including Best Actor, Best Actress, and of course Best Picture. In a disappointing turn of events, Barbie actress Margot Robbie has been snubbed a Best Actress nomination at the Academy Awards. Honestly, I don't know what's going on this awards season. The star was brilliant, funny, and nailed that role. She's definitely not getting the recognition she deserves.
