Only two of the five songs nominated for Best Original Song at this year’s Academy Awards got a performance slot during the telecast. The first one was “I Lied To You” from Sinners, which immediately set a very high bar for any performers to follow. In the film, “I Lied To You” begins as a party at a juke joint before taking on a surreal, timeless direction, bringing in performers from Sinners‘ past and future.
