The five songs nominated at this year's Oscars will be performed from the top of the Academy's gleaming new film museum -- and a tiny fishing town in Iceland -- as producers aim to shake up the format of the pandemic-hit ceremony.

'Hamilton' star Leslie Odom Jr will be among those performing from the roof terrace of Los Angeles' still-unopened Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which has been in development for years but, like the Oscars, saw its launch delayed due to Covid-19.

Musical pre-show "Oscars: Into the Spotlight" will also feature performances from multiple Grammy winner H.E.R. and 12-time Oscar song nominee Diane Warren, who have nods this year for "Judas and the Black Messiah" and "The Life Ahead," respectively.

The 93rd Academy Awards take place on April 25, while the group's museum will open on September 30.&nbsp;
