Tonight’s 90th Academy Awards will honor some of the most breathtaking films of the last year—and their soundtracks. From Lady Bird‘s distinctive ’90s-centric roll of nostalgia to the instrumental wisps flitting in and out of Call Me By Your Name, music played a significant role in 2017’s standout films.

The live performances slated for the Oscars reflect that. The lineup is as follows.

Common and Andra Day — “Stand Up For Something” (Marshall)

Mary J. Blige — “Mighty River” (Mudbound)

Sufjan Stevens — “Mystery of Love” (Call Me By Your Name)

Keala Settle — “This Is Me” (The Greatest Showman)

Gael García Bernal, Natalia LaFourcade and Miguel — “Remember Me” (Coco)

It’s due to be a night of emotions aplenty. In terms of the awards themselves, intrigue reigns: Unlike in years past, at least four films have a strong chance of taking home the highest honor in cinema—but take a look at Quartz’s ultimate statistical model for predicting the 2018 Academy Awards Best Picture winner for more thoughts.
