The announcement of these legendary entertainers’ involvement comes off the heels of Brandi Carlile being tapped as this year’s performer. Carlile—a part of the LGBTQ community, like Porter—is a six-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, performer, producer and New York Times best-selling author.
The annual Academy Awards Viewing Party is aligned with the 30th anniversary of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and also marks its return to live events. Since the event’s inception in 1992, the Viewing Party has supported the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s efforts by raising more than $86 million for its work.
