The Oscars have released a neat promo for the 2014 awards ceremony.  Host Ellen DeGeneres suits up in a bow tie and sneakers, then dances through the Warner Bros. backlot lipsynching Fitz and The Tantrums' "The Walker" as dozens of tuxedoed backup dancers join her in a choreographed routine.  The spot was directed by Paul Feig (The Heat)---I just now realized how much I want Feig to direct an old-fashioned musical.

Watch the promo after the jump.  The Oscars air Sunday, March 2, 2014 on ABC.
