Cast of Dreamgirls to Perform at the Oscars!

Academy Awards producer Laura Ziskin announced just this morning that Beyoncé, Melissa Etheridge, Jennifer Hudson, Randy Newman, Keith Robinson, Anika Noni Rose and James Taylor are set to perform this year’s Oscar-nominated songs. I’m told the Dreamgirls number—a medley of all three of its nominated songs rather than separate performances for each—is being directed by the movie’s director, Bill Condon. I hear Jamie Foxx may join them onstage. I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but make sure you don’t miss it. I’m told the end is, let’s just say, heavenly. In other Oscar music news, Will Ferrell and Jack Black are not only presenting at the Oscars on Sunday, they’re performing an original comedic song that should leave you laughing. John C. Reilly was recently added to the group as well.
