It's the duet we've all been waiting for, and Wicked duo Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo certainly didn't disappoint while kicking off this year's Oscars with a stellar performance.
The performance began with Glinda actress Grande belting out 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' from The Wizard of Oz, before Elphaba star Erivo took over with a jaw-dropping rendition of 'Home', from the 'Oz'-inspired musical The Wiz.
The pair then went on to perform 'Defying Gravity' - the magical musical's most famous anthem.
As we say, the moment has far from disappointed viewers watching from home.
