Barbra Streisand performed "The Way We Were" during the in memoriam segment of the 2026 Oscars as a tribute to Robert Redford. This performance marked her return to the Oscars stage after over a decade. The tribute was widely reported, with some outlets noting it was an emotional moment, although it is unclear if the event actually occurred at the 98th Academy Awards or the 2026 Oscars, as the year of the event is conflicting across reports.
