It took the Academy Awards 18 years to arrange a platform for Eminem to perform his historic song Lose Yourself. The American rapper, back in 2003, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. He made history at the 75th Academy Awards by becoming the first hip-hop artist ever to win an Academy Award with his 8 Mile song. The singer surprised the audience at the Dolby Theatre and at home by taking on the stage and setting in on fire with his performance.
