So far by joining bits and pieces from tweets we gathered that Jennifer Hudson will be singing the nominated song "I'll fight". Another song "The Place Where Lost Things Go" from Mary Poppins Returns will be performed. Kendrick Lamar is also expected to sing one of his songs.

Hosting and Presenting

Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the nominations announcements. Kevin Hart was supposed to host the oscars but he stepped down. It is still unclear but most probably we will be witnessing this academic awards without a host.

One of the biggest snubs according to critics and media personalities this year is that Bradley Cooper failed to get nominated for the best director.
