February 24, 2013

The 85th Annual Academy Awards will get started with a quadruple dose of A-list hotness! As stars line up for the red carpet, Us Weekly has new details for this Sunday's Oscars ceremony at the Dolby Theatre.

Although the big show is hosted -- for the first time -- by Seth MacFarlane, the opening number will star hotties Charlize Theron (2004's Best Actress winner), Channing Tatum**, Daniel Radcliffe** and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.** Special musical performances will include, as previously announced, Adele, Dame Shirley Bassey (the iconic "Goldfinger" singer will help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise), Kristen Chenoweth, Norah Jones, and Oscar winner Barbra Streisand. During a tribute to movie musicals, Chicago's Catherine Zeta-Jones** will perform "All That Jazz," while Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson will belt out "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."

The core cast of Les Miserables -- Hugh Jackman**, Anne Hathaway**, Russell Crowe**, Helena Bonham-Carter, Amanda Seyfried**, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit and Samantha Barks -- will croon "Suddenly" and "One Day More."
