I'm guessing Julie Andrews or Dick Van Dyke (I haven't seen the sequel).

[silentxstrom]

They better get Julie Andrews to do it.

[sandstorm]

lmao plot twist.

[slinkydinks]

Everyone's guessing Julie Andrews, but didn't her singing voice get ruined by a vocal cord surgery a long time ago?

[scriptedending]

Yeah, I thought so, too. so IDK who it will be.

[bellwetherr]

i thought that too tbh

[braindiva]

Yes, she hasn't performed in public since then so I would be extremely surprised.

[itsalanisbitch]

gaga is coming!!!

[starlight_icons]

[genbu_no_miko24]

yessss I wanted to see Bradley and Gaga sing in the sha-ha-low, sha-la-low live!!

[masterofmystery]

lmao i just saw it on variety. sigh mess all around

and they're still cutting like 6 categories being televised, including cinematography!? fuck them

[silentxstrom]

Why would they skip cinematography?!! 😒 That’s one of my favorite categories! Bastards. They really don’t want people to watch thugs year, do they?!

[masterofmystery]

cinematography being cut has been floating around by the trades' experts, so i'm guessing they heard something. i'm pretty shocked they'd cut that because, like you said, it's one of the bigger tech awards
