“In a break from tradition, the original song category will forgo live performances of the nominated songs — a staple of Oscars ceremonies past. Instead, the show will spotlight the songwriters through personal reflections and behind-the-scenes insights from the creative teams behind the music.” – Variety

I hate this news. The performances of original song at the Oscars are a highlight of the show! Who could forget last year's performance of “I'm Just Ken”? Why are they doing this?? I want to see Timmy sing his Dylan! I guess he's doing that on SNL… but still! Gutted by this.
