What “Golden” Singer EJAE Wanted to Say at Oscars 2026 Before Mic Cut | E! News
After EJAE’s Best Original Song acceptance speech was cut short at the 2026 Oscars, the singer behind Kpop Demon Hunters’ “Golden” revealed how she really wanted to conclude her remarks. “I didn’t get to because they just cut us off but I wanted to thank Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna,” EJAE told reporters of her ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ bandmates after the win at the March 15 event. “They killed it with their singing and they’re just incredible people and I love them so much.” A sequel for Netflix’s international hit was greenlit March 12 with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning, following the first film’s massive success in June 2025. The sequel will focus on expanding the world and exploring the characters’ (Rumi, Mira and Zoey) backgrounds further.

They are so good 👍😊
Well deserved ❤
She wanted to say that she was strongarm to spam the song and was sick of being a one hit wonder
Disney is just mad Netflix with KPDH ate their lunch. That's why they cut them off during their acceptance speeches.
They were the only winners who were cut off so ABRUPTLY.!!!!
The cut off was as distasteful as Will Smith's slap cause Oscar knew they could get away with it.
Oscars expose their racism towards Asians!
She deserved, all of them, and The oscars was very rude to cut off her
I wonder what the "elegant solution" will be. They will install a trapdoor on the floor and throw some smoke to look a magician trick
Well, americans being racist, whats new
If you cut of somebody talking, whats the point of having award shows? Whats the point of having any platform to express you free speech. Its like we don't have a tv network or a person telling us we can't have freedom of speech, right?
that is a bunch of BS – others went waaay over their time limit and was NOT cut off. Thank you for giving this monumental achievement a memorable experience at the Oscars for them. smh
Maybe some presenters’ long humourless jokes can be cut short to give more time to the talented winners
This award should have been a beautiful moment for the artist, but it seems like that was taken away because of this kind of racist treatment. No one—whether in K-pop or anywhere else—should be treated like that. Rather than just being angry, we need to find out who is responsible. Otherwise, it will keep happening.
Their speech wasn't too long. Shorter than most. I think American culture still doesn't get anything that isn't American. America is too in love with it's own disfunction to recognize the greatness of others.
Oscar is really disgustin for doing tuis to her!!!!!!
Oscars are so petty, i honestly dont undersrand whats the hupe with the oscars there shud be a better awards body instead of oscars since its already sooooo tainted.
I Miss You EJAE ❤❤❤
😍😍💔💔
The Oscars are shameful. Why don't they allow the winners to speak? Racism is terrible
I thought Conan was a great host, but how about like, cutting his monologues and little skits to make time for the people receiving awards? I watched it the day after it aired and had to fast forward through most of them because they were so long.
so petty from oscars
