Seventeen years after taking home the Best Original Song Academy Award for his chart-topping ‘8 Mile’ soundtrack hit, ‘Lose Yourself,’ rapper Eminem stunned viewers at last night’s Academy Awards when he performed the tune for the first time at the ceremony (February 9).

Accompanied by an orchestra (as we reported here), the energetic showing ended with a rousing standing ovation – a response also gifted to the stirring performance rendered by Tony/Grammy/Emmy-winner Cynthia Erivo. The 33-year-old, on hand as a nominee in this year’s Best Original Song and Best Actress categories for her work on the biographical film about Harriet Tubman, brought the house down with her soaring rendition of ‘Stand Up’ from the movie’s accompanying soundtrack.
