Josh Groban and Beyoncé will perform the Oscar-nominated song "Believe" together at the 77th annual Academy Awards ceremony, Billboard.com has learned. Written by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri, the track is from the movie "The Polar Express" and was performed by Groban on its soundtrack.
Although the performers for this year's Oscars, to be held Feb. 27 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, have not been officially announced, sources say that Counting Crows and Minnie Driver are also expected to perform.
Counting Crows will play "Accidentally in Love" (from "Shrek 2" ) and Driver will sing "Learn To Be Lonely," the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Charles Hart-pennned tune from "The Phantom of the Opera." Although "Opera" co-star Driver does not do her own singing in the movie, she sang "Learn To Be Lonely," which appears in the movie's end credits and on the soundtrack.
Performers have yet to be announced for the two other songs nominated for the best original song Oscar: "Al Otro Lado Del Rio" (from "The Motorcycle Diaries" ) and "Look To Your Path (Vois Sur Ton Chemin)" from "The Chorus (Les Choristes)."
