Justin Timberlake opens the Oscars with a well received performance of a medley of “Can’t Stop The Feeling” and “Lovely Day.”
The singer/actor got the crowd pumped while belting out the lyrics to the catchy single. He even made his way through the crowd and had some of the biggest names in Hollywood to sing and dance along with him. Timberlake then introduced the host Jimmy Kimmel who got everyone laughing from the moment he open his first word.
This is particularly unusual for the Oscars to open with a musical performance, but perhaps the producers decided to switch things up this year. “Can’t Stop The Feeling” scored an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song and if he wins it would be his first ever Oscar trophy.
