Beyoncé will reportedly perform at Sunday’s Academy Awards in what is supposed to be one of the many surprises of the night.
The pop star confirmed the news to FOX News’ Roger Friedman, who says she has been rehearsing with Dreamgirls director Bill Condon and Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann. She will be joined by Oscar host Hugh Jackman, High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, and Mamma Mia!‘s Amanda Seyfried in a song-and-dance number.
Beyoncé is no stranger to the Oscars. She previously performed at the 2005 ceremony and again in 2007 with Jennifer Hudson for her Oscar-nominated film Dreamgirls.
Beyoncé’s Columbia Records labelmate, John Legend, will also take the stage, according to his official website.
The 81st Annual Academy Awards will air live on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. EST/5:30 p.m. PST on ABC.

Actually she is but shes not opening. The article that you are talking about from life and style did not say that beyonce was dropped, they didn’t even mention her. Beyonce will be performing in a different section of the show. And this is actually her fifth performance at the oscars. Three in 2005 and one in 2007 and this one.

I’m excited to see Beyonce on the Oscars again. If you are tired of seeing Beyonce, TURN YOUR freakin’ CHANNEL!!! The girl does a great job everytime she’s asked to perform and if ratings is what you need, she very well can help with that. Must admit this girl is a geat performer & a hard worker. When you work hard as this child does, folks recognize… How do you think ppl feel about you everyday @ work. Bet they’re TIRED of U.
