Get your cups out, because Anna Kendrick is going to be performing at the Oscars.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday that "Into the Woods" star Anna Kendrick would be performing at the 87th Oscars ceremony. Kendrick confirmed the news in a tweet.

"Out of the woods and on to the Oscar stage, Anna will be performing something special that is sure to be an 'Only on the Oscars' moment," said show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a press release.

Kendrick was previously nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in 2009's "Up In The Air." In 1998, Kendrick was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role in "High Society," when she was only 12 years old.

Kendrick is set to star in "The Last Five Years," "The Hollars," and "Pitch Perfect 2" later this year. The 87th Oscars will also include original music by "Frozen" songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen-Anderson Lopez, and performances by Rita Ora, Adam Levine, John Legend, Tim McGraw, Jack Black, and Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island.
