The upcoming Oscar ceremony, set to take place on March 2, has announced that there will be no live musical performances this year, according to an official statement. Instead, they will focus on the composers of the nominated songs, moving away from the traditional live interpretation.
The decision has generated various theories among internet users, who quickly speculated about possible reasons behind this change. Some mentioned the possibility that 'Emilia Pérez' is behind this decision, suggesting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would prefer to avoid presenting songs from a particular film live.
Amid these speculations, mocking comments began to circulate on social media, with people expressing relief at not having to hear the mentioned songs. Phrases like "Normally this would make me sad, but now it means we won't have to hear the stupid songs of 'Emilia Pérez' again" illustrate the reaction of some internet users.
On the other hand, the film by Jacques Audiard, which has received multiple nominations for this year's Oscars, has reached the level of iconic films in the history of the awards, like 'Oppenheimer', 'Titanic', and 'La La Land'. Despite the criticism received for its treatment of sensitive topics such as drug trafficking and forced disappearances, this production stands out for being nominated in 13 categories, including Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, and Best Direction, among others.
