Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are in talks with the Oscars choreographer Rob Ashford about which songs, films and actors will appear.

"I gather that Mamma Mia! and Les Miserables will be included, which would mean the involvement of Streep, as well as Jackman, Hathaway, Barks, and possibly Eddie Redmayne and Amanda Seyfried (who was also in Mamma Mia!)," the Mail's Baz Bamigboye wrote.
