Please welcome Venus and Serena Williams.

Venus and Serena Williams took the stage in March of 2022 to open the 94th Academy Awards.

And we are proud to be joined by some very special movie lovers at a place that has played such an important part in our lives.

Venus and Serena grew up not far from Hollywood, on the other side of L.A. in Compton, that's where they learned to play tennis

with the help of their parents. And now, a movie about their lives was nominated for six Oscars,

including Best Original Song.

The first ever performance of the Oscar-nominated song, Be Alive, by Dixon and Beyonce Nose Carter.

Comedy of a movie, King Richard.

Ladies and gentlemen, Beyonce!

The camera cut to a scene across town, an ordinary block in Compton lined with single-story family homes.

In the middle of the street, a group of young people walked together.

The two young actresses who played Venus and Serena and King Richard were at the front of the pack.

They headed toward a tennis court that had been turned into a stage.

Beyonce sang surrounded by dancers and musicians.

Everyone and everything was outfitted in bright tennis ball green, even the stage and the instruments.

The performance honored Venus and Serena's unlikely success story.

I want you to tell these people where we are.

City of Compton! Yeah, I think you can sing it like you we are. City of Comtee!

Yeah, I think you can sing it like you mean it.

Tell them where we are.

City of Comte
