NO Marion Cotillard : Oscar's best song not to be performed on Stage

Marion Cotillard won’t sing Maury Yeston’s "Take It All" from Nine, Jeff Bridges won’t perform Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett’s "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart, Randy Newman won’t do a rendition of "Almost There" and "Down in New Orleans" from The Princess and the Frog, andReinhardt Wagner and Frank Thomas won’t stage "Loin de Paname" fromParis 36 at the 2010 Academy Awards ceremony next March 7.

Why not? Simply because this year’s Best Original Song nominees will be presented via clips from the films in which they are sung, "which is how most nominated achievements are featured within the show," Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spokeswoman Leslie Unger explained Wednesday.
