Vanessa Hudgens is ready to strike a chord on the Academy Awards red carpet.
Hudgens, who appeared in the Oscar-nominated musical “Tick, Tick... Boom,” will be one of the hosts of Sunday’s Oscars red carpet show, producers announced Wednesday.
She’ll be joined by actor and entertainer Terrence J and fashion designer Brandon Maxwell as hosts of the red carpet show, which begins at 6:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
“The 90-minute special will highlight Oscar nominees, performers and presenters, and give fans around the world the ultimate insiders’ sneak peek at Hollywood’s biggest night,” reads Wednesday’s announcement.
The red carpet show will lead into the main Oscars ceremony, which will air live from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood beginning at 8 p.m. on ABC.
Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall and Amy Schumer are hosting the Oscars, marking the first time the Academy Awards have featured three women hosting the show.
The 33-year-old Hudgens, who rose to fame as a star of Disney’s “High School Musical” movies, has been busy this awards season. She previously announced the nominees for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and was a presenter at that show in February.
