The Academy Awards are only two weeks away, and the complete list of musical performers has finally been announced. Elton John, Cynthia Erivo, Idina Menzel, and more will hit the stage at the Oscars to perform the tracks nominated for best original song.

John will try to repeat his Golden Globe victory and collect this prestigious award for writing “I’m Gonna Love Me Again” from Rocketman. Cynthia Erivo will be competing alongside Joshuah Brian Campbell who co-wrote “Stand Up” from Harriet with her.

The list of performers also includes Randy Newman (“I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away” from Toy Story 4), Idina Menzel and Aurora (“Into the Unknown” from Frozen 2) and Chrissy Metz (“I’m Standing with You” from Breakthrough).

Show producers Lynette Howell Taylor and Stephanie Allain also revealed that Questlove would make a “special appearance” during the ceremony and expressed their excitement to welcome such an incredible group of nominees and performers to the Oscars.

The 92nd Academy Awards will take place on February 9th at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, and the ceremony will be conducted without a host.
