Billie Eilish is hitting the stage at the 2022 Oscars!

With a trunk of tunes from 3x Tony winner Lin Manuel Miranda, and a double platinum hit song in “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” Encanto is clearly Broadway bound, right?

Megan Thee Stallion is putting her own spin on “Bruno”!

Reba McEntire is hitting the stage at the 2022 Academy Awards.

Sebastián Yatra is hitting the stage at the 2022 Academy Awards!

sang the hit song «We Don't Talk About Bruno» on Sunday at the 94th Academy Awards, with a little help from Megan Thee Stallion! After the cast kicked off the highly anticipated performance, Megan made a surprise appearance and added a remix version to the hit track. Though the Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned song isn't nominated for an Oscar, it has broken numerous records including the longest-reigning Disney chart topper, surpassing 's «Let It Go.» Cast members Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel), Carolina Gaitan (Pepa), Mauro Castillo (Félix), Diane Guerrero (Isabela), and Adassa (Dolores) took to the stage to belt out the celebrated song. They were joined by Latinx artists Becky G and Luis Fonsi.  Gaitán slayed in the opening segment with a stunning yellow dress and sparkling earrings and necklace to match the flawless look.  Despite the critical acclaim and commercial success of «We Don't Talk About Bruno,» Disney opted to submit the love song «Dos Oruguitas» from for Oscar consideration, landing it in the Best Original Song category. The song is going up against Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from, Van Morrison’s “Down to Joy” from , Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s “No Time to Die” from, and Diane Warren’s “Somehow You Do” from .ET spoke with composer and lyricist Miranda earlier this month at the Critics Choice Awards about the impact of «Bruno.»«The first person I got a DM from was [director] Taika Waititi, and he was the first one that was like, 'It's constant with my kids! It's constant right now.

wasn’t actually nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar.Cast members Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan, and Diane Guerrero performed the infections song alongside the previously announced Becky G and Luis Fonsi and a very unannounced Megan Thee Stallion. And while it indeed was a hoot, it wasn’t exactly the live-action performance many of us were expecting (okay all of us were expecting), especially when the Lin-Manuel Miranda lyrics were swapped out with some platitudes about Oscar night.“Encanto” was nominated elsewhere for Best Original Score (Germaine Franco ultimately lost to Hans Zimmer and his “Dune” music), Best Animated Feature, and Best Original Song (for “Dos Oruguitas”).The song’s placement in the awards show actually raised eyebrows, as ABC started advertising the performance on the first day of Oscar voting, which some nominees felt was tipping the awards towards “Encanto” in an unfair way.

Chris Willman Music WriterLin-Manuel Miranda was not on hand to accept Oscar accolades Sunday night, but his work was certainly well-represented, as his song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” provided the Academy Awards telecast one of its splashier moments, uniting voice-cast members from “Encanto” with additional top music stars.It’s almost unprecedented for a song that could have been nominated for the best original song Oscar but wasn’t to get a performance on the Oscars. That’s nonetheless what happened for the 2022 show, as Miranda’s more somber ballad, “Dos Oruguitas,” was what got nominated by Disney from “Encanto,” and ultimately nominated.

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” — that “Encanto” earworm that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, becoming only the second No. 1 song ever from a Disney animated film (after “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin” in 1993) — somehow wasn’t even nominated for Best Original Song at the 2022 Academy Awards.And to make matters even stranger, another song from “Encanto” — “Dos Oruguitas,” performed by Sebastian Yatra — was nominated in the category that also includes Billie Eilish’s “No Time to Die” (from “No Time to Die”), Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” (from “King Richard”), Reba McEntire’s “Somehow You Do” (from “Four Good Days”) and Van Morrison’s “Down to Joy” (from “Belfast”).But it’s not Oscar’s fault for overlooking “Bruno.” The song — which, like “Dos Oruguitas,” was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda — was not submitted for nomination by Disney.

The queen is here! Beyoncé kicked off the 2022 Oscars with a performance that’s sure to go down in awards show history.

The Sopranos.The Hamilton creator appeared as a hotel employee in the 15th episode of the sixth season, who crosses paths with Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and Paulie Gualtieri (Tony Sirico) during their road trip from New Jersey to Florida.Speaking about his experience on the show in Judd Apatow’s new book Sicker In The Head: More Conversations About Life And Comedy, Miranda explained how he was intimidated by the small role.“I went on lots of voiceover auditions and acting auditions, and the only thing I booked was The Sopranos, as a bellboy; I say, ‘I don’t know’ twice,” Miranda said.“I’m so green you can see me look down at my mark.
