Mary Poppins Returns' soundtrack 'The Place Where The Lost Things Go' might be up for Best Original Song at tonight's Oscars, but that doesn't mean Emily Blunt will be making an appearance as she's not at the academy awards at all.
Last week it was revealed Bette Midler would be performing the soundtrack number at the 91st Academy Awards, which begged the question as to why it wouldn't Emily Blunt on stage performing - considering it's her role in the film and everything.
So, (drum roll) Ladies and Gentlemen, I will be chanteusing (that's singing) on the Oscars on Feb 24...the nominated song from "Mary Poppins"..."The Place Where Lost Things Go" ...so excited!!

But, it's all down to the fact that Emily isn't even at the awards ceremony at all, after she wasn't nominated for her performance in Mary Poppins or A Quiet Place, while her husband John Krasinsky - who also directed and starred in A Quiet Place - was snubbed too.

emotional and beautiful but the awards this season just paid it complete dust. emily deadass gave the greatest performance of her career and gave birth silently which is one of the most iconic movie scenes i've ever seen. i'm beyond happy she won her sag award but if she-

would've been nominated for an oscar for that role, I know she would've had a chance to win. that film in general could've potentially won awards if it hadn't been completely ignored. an actual nightmare. john krasinski deserved better for his stunning film.

The Mary Poppins soundtrack lost out to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's rendition of 'Shallow' from A Star Is Born.
