Anna Kendrick will give a special performance at the Oscars this month, the academy has confirmed.

Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said: “Anna will be performing something special that is sure to be an ‘Only on the Oscars’ moment."

Kendrick recently played Cinderella in Into the Woods—which garnered three Oscar nominations in costume design, production design, and a supporting actress nod for Meryl Streep.

The actress also received an Oscar nomination in 2009 for her supporting role in Up in the Air. This year, the busy actress and singer will star in The Last Five Years, The Hollars, and Pitch Perfect 2—in addition to gracing the Oscar stage with a surprise musical number.

Kendrick joins previously announced musicians Adam Levine, John Legend, and Rita Ora—who will perform their Oscar-nominated songs: “Lost Stars” from Begin Again, “Glory” from Selma, and “Grateful” from Beyond the Lights.

The 87th Academy Awards airs on Sunday 22 February. The ceremony will be broadcast in the UK on Sky’s pop-up channel Sky Movies Oscars.
