Eminem showed up to the 2020 Academy Awards for a surprise performance of his hit song, Lose Yourself.

He hit the stage following a montage of music moments in film and performed the song, for which he won Best Original Song at the 2003 Oscars from the film 8 Mile.

During Eminem’s performance, many stars in the crowd sang along and danced, including Brad Pitt. Up until that point, the proceedings had been relatively sedate.

The 47-year-old rapper received a standing ovation from the crowd following his performance.

Many people on Twitter were excited about Eminem’s surprise performance.

Some pointed out that Billie Eilish and Martin Scorsese appeared to be confused and/or tired during the performance.

Ahead of his performance, Lin-Manuel Miranda spoke about the importance of songs featured in film.

“You couldn’t take the song out of the movie and you couldn’t take the movie out of the song,” Miranda said.
