Performances of the Oscar nominees for best original song have begun from locations as varied as Los Angeles and Iceland, even if the ceremony hasn’t. In one of many twists in this year’s ceremony, the five songs were presented in a pre-show before the main event began at Union Station in Los Angeles.
Laura Pausini performed a pre-taped “Io Si (Seen)" from “The Life Ahead" high above Los Angeles on the roof of the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures that opens in September. She was joined by writer and 12-time nominee Diane Warren playing a red grand piano, and an orchestra decked out in red.
Swedish singer Molly Sandén performed “Húsavík" from “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" on a cold boat dock in Iceland, joined by a sweater-sporting children’s choir from the town the song is named for, which has adopted the song as a de facto anthem.
There were performances of “Fight for You" from “Judas and the Black Messiah," “Speak Now" from “One Night in Miami" and “Hear My Voice" from “The Trial of the Chicago 7."
