Barbra Streisand returned to the Oscar stage on Sunday evening for the 85th annual Academy Awards.
The Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and actress gave an impressive performance of "The Way We Were," which won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1974. The song was originally written for the movie of the same name in which she starred with Robert Redford.
Streisand won her first Academy Award in 1969 for Best Actress for her performance in "Funny Girl." She was later nominated for Best Actress for 1973's "The Way We Were," won Best Original Song for "Evergreen" from 1976's "A Star Is Born," was nominated for Best Picture for 1991's "The Prince of Tides," and nominated again for Best Original Song for "I Finally Found Someone" from 1996's "The Mirror Has Two Faces."
Streisand first performed at the Academy Awards in 1977, singing "Evergreen."
The awards show also included performances from Adele and Norah Jones. It was also announced this week that Kristen Chenoweth and Seth MacFarlance would close the show with a musical performance.
The 85th annual Academy Awards were hosted by Seth MacFarlane at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
