Barbra Streisand Set For 1st Oscar Performance In 36 Years
She notably made her Brooklyn debut last year to much fan-fair, and now, singing diva, Barbra Streisand, will make her way to the Academy Awards telecast for a return.
Barbra Streisand's Oscar History
The two-time Academy Award-winner has only lent her voice to the Oscars once before, back in March 28, 1977 when she sang the theme song from "A Star Is Born." Streisand won the Oscar for Best Original Song that same night, for Evergreen.
Streisand won her first Oscar for Best Actress in Funny Girl (1968), and was nominated again in 1973 for her lead performance in The Way We Were. She was also nominated for producing the Best Picture nominee The Prince of Tides (1991), which she also directed, and for co-writing the original song "I Finally Found Someone" from The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996).

"In an evening that celebrates the artistry of movies and music," said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a statement, adding, "How could the telecast be complete without Barbra Streisand? We are honored that she has agreed to do a very special performance on this year's Oscars, her first time singing on the show in 36 years."
The 85th Academy Awards takes place February 24th in Hollywood. Seth MacFarlane will host the live event, which will be broadcast on ABC.

What is "fan fair"???
Streisand singing at the Oscars, again? Oy! The producers, infatuated with Broadway Musicals and Medicare Icons, should remember - the younger viewers don't remember or care a fig for her.
Bette Midler, with recent hit movie, would have been a better choice.
Duh. The youthful South Park and Duck Sauce didn't make a relevant reference to Bette Midler, did they?
Duh. Youthful South Park? That was years ago, in tribute, not.
Some people are icons no matter what decade they are from. People like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and some great old blues guys like Buddy Guy, etc. They are timeless and more than half the world's population is made up of baby boomers, so quit bad mouthing them because your gen has nobody that will become an icon in the future, yet. You should learn about the past, you might like it.
Remember Meet The Fockers, M O R O N? THE HIGHESTGROSSING COMEDY. TAKE A HIKE.
Hers a supporting Fockers role. Plus, while you're hikinbg, she was no match for Shirley Bassey on Oscars.
Some people says its unbelievable , some who earned says its a wonderful opportunity to earn
