The 84-year-old iconic actress who starred as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in the Princess Diaries franchise said that while she hasn’t heard anything official regarding a third installment, she would love to do the film. 

Amidst rumors that a third Princess Diaries film is happening, the film’s star Anne Hathaway confirmed that there was, in fact, a script for a third installment during a different appearance on Cohen’s show. 

But Andrews doesn’t have any details to share. “The truth is I haven’t heard. There’s been talk about it for quite awhile. I think she’s [Hathaway] had or is having a second child. She’s busy and I’ve been busy.” 

“I think if it happens it will be lovely, and if it doesn’t I wouldn’t have known about it,” she added. 

But her most beloved role is still played the iconic nanny Mary Poppins. Andrews said of the new version Mary Poppins Returns starring Emily Blunt, “I loved it. The first film was made over 60 years ago. I think it’s about time a second one was allowed.”

The news that The 91st Academy Awards will feature a special performance by the two-time Best Actress nominee, was announced by Midler herself on Twitter Saturday. 

“So, (drum roll) Ladies and Gentlemen, I will be chanteusing (that’s singing) on the Oscars on Feb 24…the nominated song from “Mary Poppins”…”The Place Where Lost Things Go” …so excited!!” she wrote and was immediately retweeted by the Academy.

The song was originally performed by Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns. Both composer, Marc Shaiman and song are nominated for best original song. According to Variety, Shaiman is expected to accompany Midler on piano.

“As a child of the ’60s, I grew up obsessed with the Mary Poppins soundtrack, learning everything about songwriting and film scoring from it,” Shaiman wrote on Facebook. “As a teenager in the ’70s, I became obsessed with new star Bette Midler, who fate amazingly led me to, resulting in our 40-year relationship. Could I have ever imagined that one day Bette Midler would sing a song I co-wrote with Scott Wittman for a sequel to Mary Poppins at the Academy Awards?! My heart is exploding.”

The Oscars will be held on February 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

“No actor has had a bigger year than Emily Blunt in 2018,” said Variety co-editor-in-chief, Claudia Eller. “From playing a mother fighting to save her family’s life in A Quiet Place to tackling one of cinema’s iconic characters in the musical Mary Poppins Returns, Emily Blunt has proven to be a versatile and commanding actress who can cross genres easily and with great success.”

The 35-year-old star will join Daniel Kaluuya, Charlize Theron, Mark Wahlberg, and Steve Carell as the recipient of the annual award. 

Blunt has had a great year receiving SAG nominations for both roles and a Golden Globe nomination for Mary Poppins Returns.

The film’s director Rob Marshall will be in charge of presenting this award to the cast, and festival chairman Harold Matzner believes they couldn’t have picked better film for this occasion.

“Mary Poppins Returns is a happy film, that re-creates the magic and adventure of the first film. Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda lead an excellent ensemble cast that also includes Colin Firth, Meryl Streep, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Dick Van Dyke, Angela Lansbury and many others,” stated Matzner.

The list of previous honorees includes Oscar-winning film Argo and Academy Award nominees American Hustle, The Big Short, and The Social Network. Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born), Alfonso Cuaron (Roma) and Olivia Coleman (The Favourite) will also receive special awards at the 30th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival, which runs from January 3 to January 14, 2019.
