Barbra Streisand Sings Touching Tribute at the Oscars 2026 for Her First Performance in 7 Years

Barbra Streisand performed for the first time in seven years at the Oscars 2026.

The Gist

• She sang the title song from her 1973 film The Way We Were during the In Memoriam section.

• The song was a tribute to the late Robert Redford, who starred with her in the film.

Barbra Streisandjust made an emotional, long-awaited return to the stage at theOscars 2026. The actress and singer, who last performed in 2019, appeared during the In Memoriam section of the March 15 ceremony to give a moving tribute to her late co-star, Robert Redford, who died last year.

"After I read the first script ofThe Way We Were, I could only imagine one man in the role and that was Robert Redford," Streisand said as she took to the stage. "But he turned it down because he said the character had no backbone. He doesn't stand for anything, and he was right. So many drafts later, Bob finally agreed to do it."

She added that Redford "had real backbone on and off the screen" and was "thoughtful and bold."

"I called him an intellectual cowboy who blazed his own trail, and won the Academy Award for best director, and I miss him now more than ever, even though he loved teasing me," she said.

Streisand previously sang the same song during the In Memoriam segment of the Oscars in 2013 while honoring the film's composer Marvin Hamlisch. Streisand did her last full tour in 2017 and, in 2019, performing as a headliner at both London's Hyde Park and New York City's Madison Square Garden.

Streisand and Redford played an ill-fated couple inThe Way We Were—Streisand stepped into the shoes of political activist Katie, while Redford played Hubbell, a man with fewer political ambitions and convictions.

Redford died last September at the age of 89.

"Every day on the set ofThe Way We Werewas exciting, intense and pure joy," wrote Streisand in anInstagramtribute at the time. "We were such opposites: he was from the world of horses; I was allergic to them! Yet, we kept trying to find out more about each other, just like the characters in the movie."

Dangerous Winds, Possible Tornadoes Threatening Tens Of Millions As Severe Storms Move East

From West Virginia to Alabama, about 60 million people are starting Monday under a severe weather threat. Storms in the East are bringing damaging winds and possible tornadoes. We're already seeing reports of downed trees and power lines, and damage to homes and other buildings.

This all comes after an unusual patchwork of severe weather across the U.S. threw out everything but the kitchen sink.

In the Midwest, roads became impassable as a winter storm brought heavy, record-setting snow to parts of Wisconsin and Michigan. Later, a tornado threat moved into much of the Ohio River Valley and Southeast, as the risk of severe storms lingered into the evening.

A major heat wave pushed temperatures near 100 degrees in the Southwest. Across the Plains, powerful winds with gusts up to 70 mph fueled extremelydangerous fire conditionsthat turned deadly in Nebraska. And in Hawaii, an atmospheric river dumped heavy rain,causing flooding and leaving thousands without power.

Severe Weather

More than 545,000 customers were without power across the country Monday morning, according toPowerOutage.us.The bulk of the outages were in Michigan, where more than 124,000 homes and businesses did not have electricity. This social media post from a storm chaser in Michigan shows you why.

There have been more than 300 reports of severe weather since Sunday afternoon, andweather.comsenior meteorologistJonathan Erdmansays most of those reports involve wind damage.

A church and nearby homes in Summersville, Missouri, were significantly damaged, with reports that the foundation of the church was lifted off the ground. In aFacebook post, a resident shared dramatic photos of the damage to one home.

Officials said schools in Raleigh and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, would be closed Monday, and the state's governor urged residents to enable emergency alerts on their phones ahead of expected wind gusts of 74 mph.

In Atlanta, public schools switched to remote learning as tornado watches were issued across the metro area. Other school districts outside of the city have delayed the start of classes by several hours. Washington, D.C., schools areclosing two hours early.

More than 2,300 flights were canceled nationwide, and delays were topping 7,300 early Monday morning, according toFlightAware.com. The FAA grounded flights at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport until 11:30 a.m. EDT due to the risk of tornadoes. There is also a ground delay at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston due to winds.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport shared video of the astonishingly long lines of travelers waiting to get through security before daybreak Monday.

Winter Storm

The snow totals in the Midwest are simply staggering. Leading the record totals is Spalding, Michigan, which has been socked in by 26 inches of snow. Wausau, Wisconsin, set asingle-day record, with 23.4 inches reported Sunday.

The blizzard conditions and deep snow trapped people on highways through the region. Southbound lanes of Interstate 35 were shut down Sunday afternoon in southeast Minnesota. The state DOT saidno travel is advised on state highwaysin the area.

In Wisconsin, dozens of vehicles were stuck on I-94 near Osseo on Sunday.

In Michigan, the Coast Guard and Mackinac Island firefighters pulled off a daring rescue in whiteout conditions after a man on a snowmobile went out onto the ice of the Straits and got lost.

Mackinac Island Fire Chief Jason St. Onge and five other firefighters went out on the ice, and the chief said: "It was extremely slow going as drifting snow was waist deep and the ice jagged and difficult to climb over."

A Coast Guard cutter was able to spot the man who had reached open water, and the crew picked him up and got him on board their vessel.

It took firefighters 40 minutes to walk 2,000 feet back to shore in the arduous conditions. In a press release, the Fire Department said, "The ice is no joke, not an inland lake or a mill pond, conditions can and do change by the minute. Not one entity endorses the ice nor is anyone in charge of its safety or security. Each and every trip is CROSS AT YOUR OWN RISK. In this particular case it was cross at the First Responders risk."

Trump demands other countries help secure vital Strait of Hormuz as Iran vows defiance

By Maya Gebeily, Emily Rose and Jarrett Renshaw

DUBAI/JERUSALEM/PALM BEACH, Florida, March 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Sunday his administration is talking to seven countries about helping to secure the Strait of Hormuz amid the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, calling on them to help protect ships in the vital waterway that Tehran has mostly blocked to oil tanker traffic.

With the conflict creating turmoil across the Middle ‌East and shaking up global energy markets in its third week, Trump insisted that nations relying heavily on oil from the Gulf have a responsibility to protect the strait.

"I'm demanding that these countries come in ‌and protect their own territory because it is their territory," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on the way from Florida to Washington. "It's the place from which they get their energy."

Though he declined to identify the seven governments that his administration has contacted, Trump said this weekend that he ​expected many countries would send warships to allow shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit for 20% of the world's oil.

He said in a social media post he hoped China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and others would participate.

In an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday, Trump ratcheted up pressure on European allies to help protect the strait, warning that NATO faces a "very bad" future if its members fail to come to Washington's aid.

Trump also said Washington is in contact with Iran but expressed doubt that Tehran is prepared for serious negotiations to end the conflict.

U.S. officials responding to economic uncertainty over high oil prices predicted on Sunday that the war on Iran would end within weeks and that a drop in energy costs would follow, despite ‌Iran's assertion that it remains "stable and strong" and ready to defend itself.

Trump had threatened ⁠more strikes on Iran's main oil export hub Kharg Island over the weekend and said he was not ready to reach a deal to end the war which has shut off the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The Trump administration plans to announce as early as this week that multiple countries have agreed to form a coalition to escort ships through the narrow waterway but ⁠they are still discussing whether those operations would begin before or after hostilities end, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed U.S. officials.

Trump offered few specifics about the kind of assistance he wanted from other countries to open up the strait, except to say some have minesweepers and "a certain type of boat that could help us."

Asian markets were in a wary mood on Monday as the Gulf hostilities kept oil prices elevated. Brent rose 0.1% to $103.27 a barrel, while U.S. crude fell 0.7% to $97.99.

IRAN DENIES TRUMP CLAIM ON NEGOTIATIONS

Advertisement

Trump, who ​on ​Friday said the U.S. Navy would "soon" start escorting oil tankers, has said previously that Iran wants to negotiate, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas ​Araqchi earlier on Sunday disputed that claim.

"We have never asked for a ceasefire, and we ‌have never asked even for negotiations," Araqchi told CBS' "Face the Nation" program. "We are ready to defend ourselves for as long as it takes."

With crude oil prices hovering around $100 a barrel, Trump administration officials insisted that all signs point to a relatively quick end to the conflict.

"This conflict will certainly come to the end in the next few weeks — could be sooner than that," U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told ABC's "This Week" program.

Trump on Sunday did not put a timeframe on concluding the war but said oil prices "are going to come tumbling down as soon as it's over, and it's going to be over pretty quick."

But the U.S. president said he saw no reason to declare victory yet.

"I think I just say they're decimated." Trump told reporters. "If we left right now, it would take them 10 years or more to rebuild, but I'm still not declaring it over."

Meanwhile, Araqchi sought to project an image of strength and resilience despite waves of U.S. and Israeli air ‌strikes that have killed a number of Iranian leaders, sunk much of the Islamic Republic's navy and devastated its missile arsenal.

"It's not ​a war of survival. We are stable and strong enough," Araqchi told CBS. "We don't see any reason why we should talk with Americans, because ​we were talking with them when they decided to attack us, and that was for the second time."

KHARG ISLAND

Trump ​said on Saturday that U.S. strikes had "totally demolished" much of Kharg Island and warned of more, telling NBC News on Saturday, "We may hit it a few more times just for fun."

The ‌comments marked a sharp escalation from Trump, who had previously said the U.S. was targeting ​only military sites on Kharg, and dealt a blow to diplomatic ​efforts to end a war that has spread across the Middle East and killed more than 2,000 people, most in Iran and Lebanon.

With global air transport heavily disrupted and no clear end in sight, Iran's ability to choke off traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas, has emerged as a decisive threat to the global economy.

Although some Iranian vessels have continued to pass ​and a few ships from other countries have successfully made the crossing, the passage ‌has been effectively closed for most of the world's tanker traffic since the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28 at the start of an intensive bombing campaign that has hit thousands ​of targets across the country.

Brad Pitt & Ines de Ramon Might Elope to Europe for Wedding — Source

Brad PittandInes de Ramon's relationship status could reportedly change amid wedding speculations. A source recently claimed that the couple has allegedly been together in Europe, where the Oscar-winner has been filming. Reportedly, they might get married on the "spur of the moment."  For those unversed, Pitt and de Ramon made their red carpet debut as a pair last year. They appeared together at the New York City premiere of the actor's movie, "F1."

Brad Pitt 'thinks he's ready' to marry girlfriend Ines de Ramon, per source

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon's wedding rumors have been circulating for a while now. Recently, a source toldRadarOnlinethat the two might elope to Europe to tie the knot. They have been in Europe for some time as the Hollywood star has been filming his upcoming movie, "The Riders."

According to the insider, Pitt would not prefer a "big ceremony." "That's why people are predicting he might just marry Ines on the spur of the moment while they're in Europe this spring after his movie wraps," they claimed.

Furthermore, the marriage talks have reportedly been on the cards lately. Earlier, de Ramon allegedly wanted to seal the deal, but the 62-year-old "has been the hold-up." Now, he would likely want to take the next step. "Brad has been talking about his future a lot more lately and what he wants the next few decades of life to look like. More and more, Ines is front and center when he talks about how he envisions his life," the source mentioned.

Pitt and de Ramon were first linked in 2022, but they confirmed their relationship in public last year. Before that, the 33-year-old was married to "The Vampire Diaries" alum Paul Wesley. They separated in 2022, and their divorce was finalized in 2024. Meanwhile, the "Troy" star went through a complicated divorce battle with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.

Misty Copeland performs in “Sinners ”musical“ ”number at Oscars amid Timothée Chalamet ballet drama

Misty Copelandbroke out some major ballet moves at theOscars.

The ballerina joinedSinnerscast members Miles Caton, Jayme Lawson, andLi Jun Lionstage for a musical number at the 98th Academy Awards. Caton, who plays a young, gifted blues musician named Sammie Moore in the film, crooned the Oscar-nominated film's iconic tune "I Lied to You" while an all-star roundup of musicians and performers replicated its juke joint dance scene.Jack O'Connellalso made a cameo as his character Remmick, vampire teeth and all.

Just as it was inRyan Coogler's horror-thriller, the Oscars' musical number combined Delta Blues with rock-and-roll, hip-hop and more, creating a genre-blending, time-traveling celebration of Black music's history and ancestral ties. Joining theSinnerscast onstage for the number wereRaphael Saadiq, Shaboozey,Brittany Howard, Eric Gales, Buddy Guy, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Bobby Rush, and Alice Smith.

Copeland's performance comes less than a week after calling out Best Actor nomineeTimothée Chalametfor hisdisparaging comments about both ballet and opera, which the actor said are two art forms "no one cares" for anymore.

The dancer said in a March 9TikTok videoshe found it "interesting" that Chalamet invited her to help promote his Oscar-nominated filmMarty Supreme"with respect to my art form."

Copeland, along with other celebrities such asTom Brady,Kid Cudi, andKendall Jenner, was photographed wearing a navy windbreaker featuring the film's title.

"But I think that it's important that we acknowledge that, yes, this is an art form that's not 'popular' and a part of pop culture as movies are," Copeland continued. "But that doesn't mean it doesn't have enduring relevance in culture."

The ballerina said that it is "often mistaken when something is popular that it's meaningful or more impactful"; however, Copeland added, "there's a reason that the opera and ballet have been around for over 400 years."

Copeland's final note to Chalamet was that theComplete Unknownstar wouldn't have the opportunities he's achieved thus far if not for "opera and ballet in their relevance in that medium."

"So all of these mediums have a space, and we shouldn't be comparing them," Copeland concluded.

Chalamet has drawn the ire of both the theater community and creative professionals overall since his comments during aVarietyand CNN Town Hallin February went viral on social media. During a conversation withMatthew McConaughey, theWonkaactor discussed the challenges the film industry faces in movie theaters.

"I admire people, and I've done it myself, who go on a talk show and go, 'Hey, we gotta keep movie theaters alive. You know, we gotta keep this genre alive,'" Chalamet said to McConaughey. "And another part of me feels like, if people want to see it, likeBarbie, likeOppenheimer, they're going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it."

Chalamet then mentioned other performing arts, sharing, "And I don't want to be working in ballet or opera, or you know, things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive,' even though it's like, no one cares about this anymore."

"All respect to the ballet and opera people out there," Chalamet — whose grandmother, mother, and sister are professional dancers who have performed with the New York City Ballet — added.

Chalamet's comments have sparked strong responses from the ballet and opera communities, including the London Ballet andthe Metropolitan Opera, as well as celebrities such asSteven SpielbergandDoja Cat.
