After the show ends, a post-show special will be hosted by Euphoria‘s Colman Domingo and The Prom‘s Andrew Rannells. Oscars: After Dark will recap “the evening’s must-see moments and showcase Oscar winners as they have their statuettes personalized.”

JoJo has released her new song “The Change,” which was recorded in support of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris‘ 2020 presidential campaign.

With just 32 days to go until the November 3 election, the powerful song has been released to inspire people to vote.

The song was written by Grammy winner and 11-time Oscar nominee Diane Warren.

“Diane Warren is one of the most prolific songwriters of any generation, and over the years she has become a friend and mentor. When she sent me ‘The Change’ a few weeks ago, I felt passionately about being the voice to bring her song to life,” JoJo said in a statement. “I always try to use my voice for good, but it’s especially meaningful to be singing these words at a time when our country needs to hear them more than ever. For the song to be chosen by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as their ‘campaign anthem’ is an absolute honor. I hope it can help make a difference.”

Download the song now on iTunes or stream it below from YouTube.

Diane Warren is having a little fun!

The 63-year-old Grammy-winning songwriter reacted on Twitter after a fan threw in a photo of her while sharing photos of Ghislaine Maxwell.

“The way she knew everybody,” a user tweeted along with photos of Ghislaine posing with Donald Trump and wife Melania, Elon Musk, and Naomi Campbell.

They also threw in a photo of Diane posing with Lady Gaga, pointing out that she and Ghislaine look similar with their pixie cut haircuts.

“Ummm the one on the bottom left isn’t Ghislaine tho!!” Diane wrote while re-posting the photos and added a couple winking emojis with their tongues sticking out.

For those that don’t know, Ghislaine is an alleged accomplice of the late Jeffrey Epstein. She was arrested and charged with “enticement and conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transportation and conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and two counts of perjury.”
