This year’s Oscar-nominated musicians are going to take the stage at the Academy Awards ceremony.
Mary J. Blige, Miguel, Gael GarcÃa Bernal, Andra Day, Natalia LaFourcade, Keala Settle, Sufjan Stevens and Common will perform their original songs at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 4, when the motion picture academy kicks of its 90th Oscars ceremony.
“We’re excited to have these talented artists showcase the powerful contribution music makes to filmmaking,” the show’s producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd announced in a statement on Friday. “It’s a privilege to welcome them to the 90th Oscars stage.”
Blige will perform “Mighty River” from “Mudbound,” the Oscar-nominated song she co-wrote with Raphael Saadiq and Taura Stinson.

Common and Day will perform “Stand Up For Something” from “Marshall” and Settle will perform “This is Me” from “The Greatest Showman.”
Stevens will perform “Mystery of Love” from the film “Call Me by Your Name,” and Bernal, LaFourcade and Miguel will perform “Remember Me” from “Coco.”
