John Legend and Common are to treat the Oscar audience to a rendition of their nominated song Glory.

The track, which is from the civil rights drama Selma, is among the five nominees for best song.

It will be up against Everything Is Awesome, from The Lego Movie, Grateful, from Beyond The Lights, I’m Not Gonna Miss You, from Glen Campbell … I’ll Be Me, and Lost Stars, from Begin Again.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also announced that Let It Go songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez are writing an original number for host Neil Patrick Harris.
