Oscars 2020: Randy Newman sings 'I can't let you throw yourself away'

Randy Newman took to the 2020 Oscar stage in a welcomed haze of mellifluous melody. He sang the song from Toy Story 4, which has been nominated as the best original song.

The singer utilized the Steinway piano in a luxurious black suit. A set of fake clouds lined the floors of the stage in a mystical haze. The decoration offered a rather spirited version of the original fast paced song.

The song, I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away is Randy’s 13th song to be nominated for an Acadamy Award, alongside We Belong Together.

The song in the film focuses on the life of a plastic fork (forky) who wants to live out the rest of his life within the garbage. During conversations with The Hollywood Reporter, Newman revealed, "Woody is trying to keep Forky from throwing himself away.” He concluded by saying, "where I wanted to emphasize the friendship. It's not a romantic creation.”
