H.E.R., Jon Batiste and All the Record-Setters From the 2021 Oscars
The Oscar win for H.E.R., D’Mile and Thomas comes just six weeks after they won a Grammy for song of the year for “I Can’t Breathe.” This is the first time in 35 years that a songwriter or songwriting team has won an Oscar in the same awards season that they won a Grammy for song of the year for a different song. Lionel Richie won both awards in 1986. He and Michael Jackson shared the Grammy for song of the year on Feb. 25, 1986 for “We Are The World.” On March 24 of that year, he won the Oscar for “Say You, Say Me” from White Nights. With the win for “Fight For You,” fellow nominee Diane Warren’s Oscar track record stands at 0-12. She is one of just seven people in Oscar history – across all categories – to amass as many as 12 nominations without a win. (Let’s hope nomination No. 13 will ...
Dua Lipa Duets With Elton & More Highlights From Virtual Elton John Oscar Viewing Party
Below, Billboard highlights five of the best moments from an entertaining and impactful virtual event. Dua Lipa Brings the Oscars Glam Just because there wasn’t an in-person gala didn’t mean Dua Lipa dressed down for the night. In fact, the pop star went all-out glam for a pair of two-song sets, wearing a floor-length, long-sleeve black velvet turtleneck gown with a feather-duster train, topped off with a chunky chain-link diamond necklace and a sleek black hairstyle. Her four backup singers and bandmembers – including two guitars, a keyboard and a string section – followed her dress code in tuxes and black dresses, surrounded by mirrored walls and feathered bouquets. But what about the music? That was all class too, as Lipa delivered orchestral arrangements of her Billboard Ho...
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste Win Best Original Score Oscar for Soul
Nearly two months after taking home the Best Original Score Golden Globe for their work on Soul, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, along with The Late Show musical director Jon Batiste earned themselves an Oscar in the same category for Mank. They beat out James Newton Howard (News Of The World), Terence Blanchard (Da 5 Bloods), Emile Mosseri (Minari), and themselves for their work on Soul. This marks the duo’s second Oscar. They previously won the Best Original Score award for 2011’s The Social Network. Aside from their two Oscars, Reznor and Ross’s work has also won them two Golden Globes and an Emmy. Earlier this year, the trio won a Golden Globe for their work on Soul as well. Reznor and Ross took home an Emmy last year for their work on H...
Porter Robinson Uploads Stunning “Nurture Live” Secret Sky Set: Watch the Full Performance
If Nurture was Porter Robinson‘s entry into electronic music history, than his performance at Secret Sky 2021 was the album’s certificate of authenticity. There is no one in the scene quite like Robinson when it comes to conceptualizing music and executing its artistic motifs in a live performance. Any artist can attest how difficult it is to bridge the gap between the aesthetic in their mind and what is possible onstage. Robinson, however, just bulldozed the scope of those possibilities with his jaw-dropping performance at the 2021 edition of his curated Secret Sky virtual festival. The electronic music demigod somehow harnessed the visceral identity of Nurture and manifested it into a performance for the ages. He cycled through the album on a kaleidoscopic stage, sw...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-26T00:59:56+00:00“>April 25, 2021 | 8:59pm ET Chloe Zhao has made Oscar history by becoming the first woman of color to ever to win Best Director.

John Lydon Says Sex Pistols Biopic Series Was Made Without His Consent, Threatens Legal Action
Earlier this year, it was revealed that a new Danny Boyle-directed Sex Pistols biopic called Pistol was in the works. The six-part FX series may be based on guitarist Steve Jones’ 2018 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, but another band member claims it was made without his consent, and now he’s threatening legal action. During a recent interview with The Sunday Times, John Lydon reacted to recent publicity shots taken to promote the series. “I think that’s the most disrespectful shit I’ve ever had to endure. I mean, they went to the point to hire an actor to play me but what’s the actor working on? Certainly not my character. It can’t go anywhere else [but court],” the singer said. “It’s not like we’re complete strangers,” Lydon added in reference to not ...
