Oscars to score a musical first

THE Oscars will, for the first time, hold a concert in Los Angeles featuring the songs and scores nominated for Hollywood's most prestigious prize, organizers said on Friday.

The concert will be held on February 27, 2014, at Royce Hall, at the University of California in Los Angeles, said an internal email from organizers.

The message was from the governors of the music branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Charles Fox, Arthur Hamilton and David Newman.

They noted that, during this year's ceremony, in February, all the nominated songs were performed on stage "for the first time in a number of years."

"That was a welcome return for the importance that original songs have always had in films," they wrote.
