The Oscars might be going host-less for the second year running, but there'll still be a whole host of famous faces taking to the stage, with Elton John, Idina Menzel and more perform this year’s nominated songs.
Here's everything you need to know about the musical performances at the 92nd annual Academy Awards.
Who is performing at the Oscars 2020?
Cynthia Erivo, Elton John, Idina Menzel, Chrissy Metz and Randy Newman will perform this year’s nominated songs.
Erivo is nominated for both Music (Original Song) and Actress in a Leading Role for her performance as Harriet Tubman in Harriet.
"We’re excited to have an incredible group of nominees and performers who will deliver one-of-a-kind music moments you will only see on the Oscars," said show producers Lynette Howell Taylor and Stephanie Allain.
In addition to performances of the the five nominated songs, the Oscars this year will also feature a special appearance by Questlove and a guest-conducted segment by Eímear Noone. Noone is the first woman to conduct during an Oscars telecast.
Billie Eilish will also appear for a "special performance", with some speculating that she will debut her title track for new James Bond film No Time To Die at the ceremony.
