Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This year’s Oscars have almost begun, the finest Hollywood star getting together to celebrate another fantastic year of cinema.
Of course, the Oscars not only celebrate what’s seen on screen, but also what’s heard, awarding multiple awards for score and best original song.
Those artists who are nominated for best original song have been invited to perform, with many obliging to come along and play their songs.
Confirmed performers include Common, Mary J. Blige, Gael García Bernal, Andra Day, Natalia LaFourcade, Miguel, Keala Settle and Sufjan Stevens.
Mary J. Blige will play "Mighty River”, written for the movie Mudbound. Gael García Bernal, Miguel, and Natalia LaFourcade will perform “Remember Me” from Coco, while Keala Settle sings The Greatest Showman standout "This Is Me”.
Common and Andra Day will perform "Stand Up for Something” from the biopic Marshall, and finally Sufjan Stevens will play the heartbreaking “Mysteries of Love” form Call Me By Your Name.
