Oscars 2020: From the movie “8 Mile”, the song — Lose Yourself — won an Oscar back in 2003 for the best original song.

While the 92nd Academy Awards night witnessed some spectacular performances, it was Eminem who stole the show with his surprise appearance.

The 47-year-old American rapper received a standing ovation when he performed his Oscar-winning song Lose Yourself — 18 years after winning the award. From the movie “8 Mile”, the song won an Oscar back in 2003 for the best original song. However, the rapper was not present at the ceremony back then to receive the award. He later took to Twitter to share a clip of his friend Luis Resto accepting the Oscar along with a caption that read, “Look, if you had another shot, another opportunity… Thanks for having me @TheAcademy. Sorry, it took me 18 years to get here.”
