The five songs nominated at this year’s Oscars will be
performed from the top of the Academy’s gleaming new film museum — and a tiny
fishing town in Iceland — as producers aim to shake up the format of the
pandemic-hit ceremony.

“Hamilton” star
Leslie Odom Jr will be among those
performing from the roof terrace of Los Angeles’ still-unopened Academy Museum
of Motion Pictures, which has been in development for years but, like the
Oscars, saw its launch delayed due to COVID-19.
His song “Speak Now” from civil rights drama “One Night in
Miami” will form part of a special Oscars pre-show — as will the ballad
“Husavik” from the Will Ferrell comedy “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of
Fire Saga,” performed from the Icelandic port of the same name.
“We’ve come up with some serious pre-game and post-game
action to enhance our main event,”
Steven Soderbergh and fellow co-producers
said in a statement.
“Our suggestion is just tune in for the whole shebang,
otherwise you’ll miss something really unexpected and fun.”
This year’s Oscars are following an “awards-show-as-a-movie”
theme, and will primarily be held, with social distancing de rigueur, at Union
Station in downtown Los Angeles.
Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, and Reese Witherspoon are among
the A-list lineup of presenters.
