What do you guys think? And what number would you personally like to see them perform from the musical?

I mean, if they wanted to show off 90% of their cast, they'd do "One Day More".

My bet is on a Medley because I'm sure they'll want to show off Anne Hathaway, but she is not in any of the ensemble numbers

It would be awesome if they staged One Day More the same way it's done theatrically

This will be very interesting to watch. Wow, I'm surprised that they're doing this.

Only SUDDENLY was nominated for best song so why would they make them do anything else? This ain't the Tonys.

Yeah, because the Oscars don't have a history of unnecessary musical numbers.

They can sing Empty Chairs & Empty Tables during the In Memoriam portion of the show.

I think they'll do "One Day More." Very cool that they're doing this. Good for them!

to me it would be strange to hear Anne perform. The way she performs IDAD in the film would seem very strange out of context, and I can't imagine people being that impressed if she were to sing it in a more traditional way.

I think they'd be smart to do what the original London cast did at the 1985 Olivier Awards: a medley of I Dreamed a Dream, Bring Him Home and One Day More.
But if a medley isn't in the cards, then One Day More would probably be the best bet.

You do know why that is, right?

Of all the great songs in the movie, and that was the only one nominated?!

Maybe this is for the Opening Number? Too bad other contenders for Best Picture do not have a competing musical number 
...Hugh and Anne have hosted separate Opening Numbers for the Oscars!

The other songs were ineligible to be nominated. They were previously written and composed songs. "Suddenly" was an originally written, never before heard song exclusively for the movie. It is eligible because it is new. The other songs are old.

Why else would many musicals (Hairspray, Rent, Phantom, Chicago) have an extra song that is new?

Clearly the exclamation point was too subtle.
My vote goes to Adele, anyway.

I was under the impression that HBC costumed herself for all her films.

Amanda Seyfied better run to her vocal coach like right now and get her voice together....

Would Hugh separately perform "Suddenly" since it's a nominated song anyways? I know they don't perform the nominated songs every year, but it's actually a decent category this year. I wouldn't think they'd miss the opportunity of having Adele perform.

The Jan 25/Feb 2 edition of Entertainment Weekly( yes I KNOW but I needed bath rm reading) has Zadan & Meron, the Oscars producers, quoted as " promise" more performances than o any previous Oscar show"" tho "they'll all be movie oriented". So stand warned -the show will go to 1AM!
