Beyonce may not be nominated for any Academy Awards, but she will be the main
musical attraction at this year's Oscars ceremony. The singer will perform three
of the five tunes nominated for best original song.
Josh Groban and Beyonce will perform Believe at the 77th annual ceremony, set

Believe, written by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri, is from the film The
Polar Express. It was performed by Groban on the movie's soundtrack.
Beyonce will step in for Minnie Driver to sing Learn to Be Lonely, the Andrew
Lloyd Webber/Charles Hart tune from The Phantom of the Opera. Driver performed
the song on the film's soundtrack. Accompanied by the American Boyschoir,
Beyonce will also sing Look to Your Path from The Chorus.
Counting Crows will do their song Accidentally in Love from Shrek 2. Rounding
out the nominations lineup, Carlos Santana and Enrique Iglesias will perform Al
Otro Lado del Rio from The Motorcycle Diaries.
