As well as James Corden and Rebel Wilson mocking Cats, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph not breaking character, and Brad Pitt FINALLY winning an Oscar, the legend that is Eminem rocked up for a surprise performance of his tune 'Lose Yourself' at the 2020 Oscars.

Eminem, who released his brand new album 'Music to Be Murdered By' out of the blue last week, took to the stage to perform the track before the award for Best Original Song, the exact one he won back in 2003 when his track appeared on the movie 8 Mile.

Taking to the stage with a band, Eminem gave an epic performance of the legendary track, but it appears the star-studded audience were rather torn about Eminem's set.

Whilst Frozen star Idina Menzel and film director Martin Scorsese looked less than impressed whilst watching Eminem on stage, the likes of Gal Gadot, Zazie Beetz and Kelly Marie Tran were shown LOVING his performance.

Check out Eminem's performance of 'Lose Yourself' at the Oscars below:

After the shock performance, Eminem was given a standing ovation by the audience, which included A-list faces such as Bradley Cooper, Renée Zellweger and Leonardo DiCaprio.

It seems viewers at home watching the Oscars also loved the rapper's performance. One user wrote, 'I was nearly asleep and then Eminem came on stage to deliver an amazing performance. The one and only rap god'. (sic)

Another added, 'Seeing Leonardo DiCaprio giving Eminem a standing ovation was amazing. #Oscars', with a third writing, 'Eminem’s stage performance and energy is simply amazing🔥 #Oscars'. (sic)
