The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and producers Lynette Howell Taylor and Stephanie Allain just announced the performers set to take the stage during the 92nd Oscars. All five Original Song nominees will be performed during this year’s Academy Awards, with the Academy confirming Oscar winner Elton John, Idina Menzel, Cynthia Erivo, Chrissy Metz, and Oscar winner Randy Newman will sing the five nominated songs.

The Academy did not confirm John Travolta will return to mangle Idina Menzel’s name prior to her performance.

“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 Howell Taylor and Allain.
