Score another one for Pharrell!
Fresh off the heels of his big night at the Grammys and probably because of it, the esteemed musician/producer has just been added as a performer at the 86th annual Academy Awards.
Of course, Williams will be performing his international hit song “Happy”, which is also up for the Best Original Song award.
Pharrell is no stranger to cinema’s biggest night as he (along with legendary composer Hans Zimmer) scored the Oscars in 2012.
This marks the first time in eight years that a hip-hop artist has been tapped to perform at the Academy Awards since Three Six Mafia performed “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” at the 2006 awards. Three Six Mafia went on to win the Oscar for Best Original Song that night, so maybe this is a good sign for Pharrell.
The 86th annual Academy Awards will take place on March 2nd.
