In just under two weeks the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be announcing the nominations for the 2014 Oscars. The March 2 ceremony will be hosted by comedienne Ellen DeGeneres who has appeared in a trailer for the ceremony along with 250 tuxedo clad dancers, grooving to the song “The Walker” by Fitz and The Tantrums. The trailer was directed by "Bridesmaids" director Paul Feig, and choreographed by Stephen “tWitch” Boss.

“I had the best time making this,” said DeGeneres. “I love Paul, I love tWitch, I love Fitz and I like most of the Tantrums.” Feig said in the statement, “To work with Ellen, tWitch Boss, Allison Holker and 250 amazing dancers to the music of Fitz and The Tantrums to promote the Oscars for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences was an absolute dream come true. Just typing that sentence made me giddy and exhausted. I’m going to lie down now.”

The 86th Academy Awards air Sunday, March 2, 2014, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center on ABC.
