Just days after defending ballet’s place in culture, Misty Copeland is headed to one of Hollywood’s biggest stages.

The ballet icon has been announced as part of a live tribute to Sinners at the Academy Awards, where the film’s Oscar-nominated song “I Lied To You” will be performed by Raphael Saadiq and Miles Caton. The performance is expected to blend music, blues influences and ballet into a cinematic tribute celebrating the film’s storytelling. 

The announcement comes on the heels of a viral debate sparked by Timothée Chalamet, who recently faced backlash after suggesting that “no one cares” about ballet and opera during a public discussion. Copeland pushed back, reminding audiences that these art forms have endured for centuries and remain culturally significant. 

Now, she’ll be bringing ballet directly to the Oscars stage.

With Sinners already building momentum throughout awards season, the tribute adds another major moment for the film as Hollywood prepares for the big night.

Do you think Sinners will take home the Oscar? 👀
