Neil Patrick Harris didn’t yield his voice to Disney’s “Frozen,” though during Sunday’s Oscars he got to do a subsequent best thing: sing a strain co-written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, a twin behind “Frozen” strike “Let It Go.” Called “Moving Pictures,” a lane was a reverence to Hollywood, and enclosed appearances from Jack Black and Anna Kendrick. Benedict Cumberbatch and Oprah Winfrey were also enclosed in a bit.

As were Darth Vader:

And a flattering good “Gone Girl” joke:

“We adore a Oscars and have always been outrageous Neil Patrick Harris fans, so when he asked us to write him a strain for this year’s uncover we said, ‘Yes!’ before he could finish a judgment –- it’s probable he might have been seeking us for something else,” Lopez and Anderson-Lopez pronounced in a matter behind in January

Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron were also vehement about “Moving Pictures.” “YouTube, get ready!” they pronounced in a statement.

The modernized unrestrained was not unwarranted. The opening was well-received on amicable media

NPH and Anna Kendrick merit an Oscar, or Grammy or Emmy or something.
