For "out of the blue random" nothing will ever beat Uncle Fucker from the South Park movie. I'm pretty sure a bunch of voters got together after a bunch of drinks and said "let's get everyone we know to nominate this as a joke and watch the reaction".:lol:

Uh, it was actually "Blame Canada".

Since this is another tricky category, here I go:

I See a Victory from Hidden Figures

City of Stars from La La Land

How Far I'll Go from Moana

Drive Like You Stole it from Sing Street

Can't Stop the Feeling from Trolls

 

alt: Try Everything from Zootopia

someone on indiewire made a spotify playlist of 70 of the eligible songs. most of them are sucky ballads but honestly this tune from Criminal, of all things, is kinda awesome. no nominations here, just wanted to point it out.

The list of who will be performing each of the nominated songs is out.

 

Lin-Manuel Miranda will perform "How Far I'll Go"

Justin Timberlake  will perform "Can't Stop the Feeling"

Sting will perform "The Empty Chair"

John Legend will perform both "City of Stars" and "Audition".

I'm fine with Legend performing City of Stars, but I think they should have gone for a female performer for Audition (I loved the speculation about Adele doing it)

Strange to me that Gosling and Stone wouldn't even do City of Stars. It's a simple, short, quiet song, just get a piano out on stage and have them reenact the scene from the movie. Audition is another story obviously.

 

Just because it's simple doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of film magic done on it.

I get the feeling they just really didn't want to perform.

O....k. Not Auli'i? Not even Alessia Cara? 

Auli'i and LMM are doing it together as a duet i guess since she's reported as doing it as well but for some reason the poster above didn't mention that. could've just been her solo but Lin has a lot of fangirls and he's a theater kid who loves the spotlight so he's there too.
