Rapper Eminem made a surprise performance at the Oscars 2020. He performed on Lose Yourself, his first Oscar-winning hit from the year 2002. The 8 Mile song is almost 20-years-old. However, the performance received a thunderous response from the audience.
Eminem’s performance was kept highly secretive. In the year 2003, when Eminem won the Oscar for Lose Yourself, he wasn’t present to receive it. After 18 years, he wowed the audiences by his surprise performance. In a tweet, Eminem said it took 18 years for him to reach there.
Look, if you had another shot, another opportunity... Thanks for having me @TheAcademy. Sorry it took me 18 years to get here. pic.twitter.com/CmSw2hmcZo

Released in 2002, Lose Yourself is a hit single featured on the soundtrack to 8 Mile. The hip-hop drama starred Eminem and was inspired by the rapper's experiences in the underground rap battle scene. Eminem last received a GRAMMY nomination for his 2018 track, Lucky You, at the 61st GRAMMY Awards, held in 2019.
