ABC/Rick Rowell(LOS ANGELES) — Oscar host Neil Patrick Harris revealed via Twitter Tuesday that he’ll be getting some help during the upcoming broadcast from Kristen and Robert Lopez, the Oscar-winning wife-and-husband duo who penned Frozen’s hit song, “Let It Go.”
In a video, Harris says, “What they’re doing I’m not at liberty to say. But I can tell you that it won’t be a song called “Let It O” with a big giant Swarovski crystal O in the background. They’ll be doing something, maybe writing during the show, who knows? Anyway I’m excited.”

Still, Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron were at liberty to share — and they revealed that the Lopezes will be writing an original musical sequence titled “Moving Pictures,” which Harris will perform.
“On the heels of the international success of last year’s Frozen and their Oscar for “Let It Go,” we couldn’t be happier to have Kristen and Bobby Lopez write an incredibly special song for Neil Patrick Harris and special guests to perform this year on the Oscar stage,” the producers said in a statement. “YouTube, get ready!”
The Lopezes also shared their excitement in a statement. “We love the Oscars and have always been huge Neil Patrick Harris fans, so when he asked us to write him a song for this year’s show we said, ‘Yes!’ before he could finish the sentence — it’s possible he may have been asking us for something else,” the two said. “We are having so much fun collaborating, and have even enjoyed weaving our experience as Oscar nominees into the song.”
The 87th Academy Awards will air on ABC February 22.
