For his performance, Vedder played a quiet, intimate cover of late rock legend Tom Petty‘s 1999 song “Room at the Top.”
Sunday’s Oscars also included and appearance from St. Vincent, who played alongside indie folk artist Sufjan Stevens during his performance of his Best Original Song nominee “Mystery of Love,” which he wrote for the film Call Me By Your Name.
Additionally, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood‘s soundtrack for the Paul Thomas Anderson film Phantom Thread was nominated for Best Original Score, but it lost out to The Shape of Water, which also won Best Picture.
