JAKARTA - At the Oscar 2020 event yesterday, rapper Eminem surprisingly appeared to sing the song Lose Yourself. This will be Eminem's first appearance, after his name was called 17 years ago to step onto the Academy Awards stage.

Eminem should have sung the song Lose Yourself when he received the award for Best Original Song at the 2003 Oscars. However, the song, which became the soundtrack for the film 8 Mile, was not performed. The trophy was later received by his collaborator, Luis Resto.

Now, the rapper whose real name is Marshall Mathers has surprisingly returned to the stage for the 2020 Oscars. Eminem's appearance was also followed by several clips from the film 8 Mile.

Reporting from Variety, Eminem revealed the reason why he did not appear on the night of the Oscar awards 17 years ago. According to him at that time, he did not deserve an award like Oscar.

"But when I saw I won," That's crazy! " to me an authentic award show and totally like an award show - when you don't show up and you're still winning. It felt real to me. "

Eminem also admitted that he didn't know a song could get the Oscars. Moreover, this is the first Oscar award he has received.

So that he felt confused when his song was included in the nominations for Best Original Song. He also emphasized that the reason for not appearing at the Oscars at that time was not because the song Lose Yourself contained harsh words. "That is not true."

Acting in the film 8 Mile was the rapper's first experience in acting and he did not really enjoy the career. However, that does not mean there is no fun in the production process, it's just that he is not used to other people's schedules.

Meanwhile, the Best Original Song at the 2020 Oscar awards ceremony was won by (I'm Gonna) Love Me Again from Elton John and Taron Egerton for the film Rocketman. This song is very 'Elton John-esque' coupled with Egerton who is trusted to sing this song.
