There will be a lot of musical talent showcased at the Academy Awards on Feb. 22. John Legend and Chicago’s own Common will perform their Oscar-nominated track “Glory” from “Selma” at the Oscars show, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced on Tuesday. “Glory,” up for the best song at the Academy Awards, already has won that category at both the Golden Globes and Critic Choice Awards earlier this month.
Also slated to perform on the Oscar show will be Adam Levine, who will perform the nominated “Lost Stars” from “Begin Again.”
Finally, picking up on the international success of “Let It Go” from “Frozen,” the composers of that hit, Kristen and Bobby Lopez, are writing a special song for Oscar host Neil Patrick Harris — which he will perform with some special surprise guests.
The post Oscar show to include music by Common, John Legend, Adam Levine appeared first on Chicago Entertainment - Chicago Sun-Times.
