Revving up the crowd of luminaries with a rendition of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and “We are the Champions,” Lambert got the Oscars off to an explosive start.
Queen was the focus of the Oscar-nominated film "Bohemian Rhapsody," starring Rami Malek, who won the best actor Academy Award for his performance as Freddie Mercury in the movie.
