Last night kicked off the 87th Academy Awards, which took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. ABC had the awards streaming live for all of us to watch in anticipation and on the edge of our seats.
We of course were a fan of all of the stars who walked the red carpet, but we think the musical artists were the rock stars of the 2015 Oscars. Here are a few of the winning moments in music from last night.
Lady Gaga stunned the attendees as she sang various songs from “The Sound of Music.” She effortlessly hit the high notes which brought a shocked, but grateful Julie Andrews to the stage.
John Legend & Common performed and received a standing ovation for Best Song nominee “Glory” from “Selma.”
Maroon 5 performed “Lost Stars” from the film “Begin Again,” which was one of the Best Song nominees. (PS – they’ll be in town this week!)
Tim McGraw performed “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” from “Glen Campbell… I’ll Be Me” which honors the country star who suffers from Alzheimer Disease.This was a Best Song nominee for the evening.
