US Vice President Joe Biden to introduce Lady Gaga at Oscars

Lady Gaga will team up with with Vice President Joe Biden at Sunday's Academy Awards for a special presentation aimed at combating sexual violence, LA Times reports. Biden, who authored the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, will introduce Gaga for a performance of her song "Til It Happens to You," which was written for the soundtrack to the campus rape documentary The Hunting Ground and is up for "Best Original Song" at this year's ceremony.

After introducing Gaga, Biden will ask viewers to join White House's "It's on Us" campaign, which aims to end sexual assault in colleges.

Last year, Biden met up with the song's co-writer Diane Warren and told her that the powerful balled is "more important than any speech I've given."
