'Frozen' Songwriters Creating Oscars Musical Number
With Neil Patrick Harris aboard to host the Oscars, we knew there'd be singing and dancing. But it seems like viewers will get singing and dancing of the highest caliber.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Oscar-winning husband-and-wife songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez will pen "an original multimedia, musical sequence" for the Feb. 22 ceremony.
Titled "Moving Pictures," the number will feature an "incredibly special song for Neil Patrick Harris and special guests," according to Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. The Lopezes are thrilled to work with Harris, who has hosted the Tonys and Emmys, but is emceeing the Oscars for the first time.
Harris, meanwhile, couldn't resist a little "Frozen" joking in his own announcement on Twitter:
