Common is also slated to make his return to the Oscars, where he will join forces with Andra Day for “Stand Up for Something” from Marshall. In 2015, the Chicago rapper famously performed “Glory” from Selma with John Legend. The latter track ended up winning Best Original Song that year.
Other performers include Sufjan Stevens (“Mystery of Love” from Call Me By Your Name) and Keala Settle (“This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman).
Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the 90th Annual Academy Awards is set to air live Sunday, March 4, from Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
