Barbra Streisand to Perform at Academy Awards
Barbra Streisand
Barba Streisand will perform at the Academy Awards for the first time in 36 years.
"In an evening that celebrates the artistry of movies and music, how could the telecast be complete without Barbra Streisand?" producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement. "We are honored that she has agreed to do a very special performance on this year's Oscars, her first time singing on the show in 36 years."
