When Lin-Manuel Miranda talked about the impact of music in film at the 92nd annual Oscars, the crowd wasn’t prepared for what was to come.

Eminem took the stage at the Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday night to deliver a surprise performance of “Lose Yourself” from the film “8 Mile,” which won an Academy Award for best original song in 2003.

The rapper released his most recent album, “Music to Be Murdered By,” in January. Some fans were ecstatic to see him performing onstage again.

Not everyone, however, seemed to understand why the 2020 Oscars included Eminem's 2002 track.

During his unforeseen performance, celebrities such as Billie Eilish, Brie Larson, and Idina Menzel appeared puzzled.

Despite receiving mixed reactions in the crowd, Eminem received a standing ovation at the end of his song.
