The Academy Awards orchestra whipped out their bows so that violinists could be heard from miles away. The Oscars concert hosted an 80-piece orchestra which entertained a crowded hall at UCLA's Royce Hall. Dramatic scenes were displayed on a gigantic screen behind the musicians. Hip Hop star Common hosted the Oscars concert saying that "You can't separate the songs from the movies." The concert was not televised to the public, but lots of videos are floating around of the performances which are available to watch. Singer Jill Scott performed Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' from the animated flick Despicable Me 2. Other performers of the night include cast members from Frozen, Pink, Adele and many more iconic celebs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oscar-Ready Edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscar-party-food-ideas.md) - [Oscar Nominee-Inspired Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2014-oscar-nominees.md) - [Cookie Cinema Trophies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bakerella.md) - [Melting Award Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d-face-oscar-sculpture.md) - [Annual Film Achievement Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-picture-poster.md) - [Winning Film Statue Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscars-awards.md) - [Star Studded Movie Spoofs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-talent.md) - [Comedic Duo Hosts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscars-2010-hosts.md)
