Oscars Power Punch: Jennifer Hudson, Zeta-Jones Will Perform Movie Musicals Tribute with “Les Miz” Cast

The Oscar cast on Sunday night is turning into a blockbuster. For the movie musicals tribute, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan have added Jennifer Hudson, Catherine Zeta Jones, plus the Les Miz cast: Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman. Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks, Aaron Tveit and Russell Crowe. That’s in addition to musical numbers from Barbra Streisand, Adele, and Shirley Bassey. And there will be more–someone has to sing the three other Best Song nominees besides “Skyfall” (Adele) and “Suddenly” (Jackman). Of course when Hathaway sings “I Dreamed a Dream,” Bassey sings “Goldfinger,” Streisang sings “The Way We Were”– the show is going to be full of standing ovations. What about the awards? What awards? More to come…

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
