On Tuesday a representative for british rock and roll legends Queen said the band will open this weekend?s Oscars show. Reuter reports that this ends the mystery over how the telecast would begin without a traditional host. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday that Queen would be among the performers at the Feb. 24 ceremony in Hollywood but did not say when the band would take the stage. The Oscars ceremony is to go ahead without a host and an opening monologue for the first time in 30 years.
