The Oscars opened on an unconventional note with a performance from one of the biggest stars on the planet: Beyonce.
Venus and Serena Williams were the first presenters on the stage, introducing the 40-year-old singer’s performance, from the same Compton tennis court where they learned the game they would come to dominate.
Beyonce delivered a powerful performance of Be Alive from Best Picture nominee King Richard, which she co-wrote with Dixson.

The video package began with a number of young men and women in lime green as they walked up to the courts.
Beyonce herself was rocking a lime green gown with matching lime green short shorts and matching heels.

During the performance she gave a shout-out to the City of Compton, where the Williams sisters grew up.
The singer’s performance was the first of four performances on Oscar Sunday, with Billie Eilish performing her title song from the James Bond film No Time to Die, Reba McEntire performing Somehow You Do from Four Good Days and Sebastian Yatra performing Dos Oruguitas from Encanto.
The fifth nominee, Van Morrison, was unable to perform Down to Joy from Belfast, due to his touring schedule.
