Kristin singing at the Oscars
Broadway star and Broken Arrow native Kristin Chenoweth will be singing during Sunday night’s Academy Awards.
She and singer Marlon Saunders will be performing “That’s How You Know” from the movie “Enchanted.” (The movie stars another Oklahoma native, James Marsden.)
“That’s How You Know” is one of three songs from “Enchanted” competing for the best original song Oscar. The other two are “Happy Working Song” and “So Close.”
If any of the three songs should win, the Oscar will go to co-writers Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
Chenoweth told the Associated Press in an interview that she was invited just a few weeks ago to perform the song at the ceremony and had to learn it in a hurry. Menken and Schwartz are colleagues of hers from Broadway.
“I’m trying to think of it like another gig, even though I know it’s not the Met or Carnegie Hall. It’s the Oscars and it’s several billion people,” she told the AP, pretending to gag at the overwhelmingness of it all.
“I’m really excited about my dress and I’m really excited about the whole night. Of course I’m rooting for anything from ‘Enchanted’ to win.”
The other nominations for best song are “Falling Slowly” from “Once” (music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova) and “Raise It Up” from “August Rush” (music and lyrics by Jamal Joseph, Charles Mack and Tevin Thomas).
