Oscars 2018 nominations: Who's up for what?

This year’s Oscars have almost begun, the finest Hollywood star getting together to celebrate another fantastic year of cinema.

Of course, the Oscars not only celebrate what’s seen on screen, but also what’s heard, awarding multiple awards for score and best original song.

Those artists who are nominated for best original song have been invited to perform, with many obliging to come along and play their songs.

Confirmed performers include Common, Mary J. Blige, Gael García Bernal, Andra Day, Natalia LaFourcade, Miguel, Keala Settle and Sufjan Stevens.

Mary J. Blige will play "Mighty River”, written for the movie Mudbound. Gael García Bernal, Miguel, and Natalia LaFourcade will perform “Remember Me” from Coco, while Keala Settle sings The Greatest Showman standout "This Is Me”.

Common and Andra Day will perform "Stand Up for Something” from the biopic Marshall, and finally Sufjan Stevens will play the heartbreaking “Mysteries of Love” form Call Me By Your Name.
