Oscars: Bob Dylan Was Invited to Present and Perform

The award for the best original song was presented at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday evening by no less than Mick Jagger himself. He revealed that the winner was “El Mal” from the movie Emilia Pérez.

Jagger humorously mentioned that the producers preferred Bob Dylan to perform it, but Dylan declined. Jagger jokingly suggested, ‘The best songs this year are in A Complete Unknown. You should look for someone more youthful.’ Since I’m younger than Dylan, I stepped up and am here now.

It turns out Dylan was really invited to present and perform at the Oscars.

Previously during the night, the host of the Oscars, Conan O’Brien, hinted that Dylan, a character featured in the Academy Award-nominated film “A Complete Unknown“, was unlikely to show up at the event.

“Dylan wanted to be here tonight, but not that badly,” O’Brien joked in his monologue.

Diane Warren, who was nominated for “The Journey” from the movie “The Six Triple Eight“, might finally secure her first victory in this category following a record-breaking 16 nominations and eight consecutive nominations in this category over the past eight years. She received an honorary Oscar in 2022.

Diane Warren, who has been nominated for “The Journey” from “The Six Triple Eight“, could potentially win for the first time after being nominated 16 times before and being nominated for this category eight times over the last eight years. She was given an honorary Oscar in 2022.

The nominees for best original song encompassed various musical genres and film narratives. Among them were two songs from Emilia Pérez, titled “El Mal” and “Mi Camino,” sung by Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez; “Never Too Late” from the documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late”; “The Journey” performed by H.E.R., from “The Six Triple Eight”; and “Like a Bird” from “Sing Sing.

Previously, Warren had shown her displeasure upon finding out that those nominated for the original song award wouldn’t be performing at the Oscars.
