Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Oprah Winfrey and more prepare for Hollywood’s big night at Oscars 2025 rehearsals

Oscars 2025 rehearsals see the presenters sharing fun moments ahead of the live event.

The Oscars 2025 rehearsals brought together Hollywood’s biggest stars, with Andrew Garfield, Goldie Hawn, Oprah Winfrey, and Emma Stone adding energy to the final preparations for the 97th Academy Awards. The ceremony, hosted by Conan O'Brien, airs live on Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and Hulu.

At the Dolby Theatre, co-presenters Sterling K. Brown and Ana de Armas practiced their lines for the Live Action Short category, with Brown encouraging his colleague, saying, “I gotchu.” After a successful run-through, he enthusiastically declared, “Let’s do it!”

Meanwhile, Emma Stone, rehearsing for her presentation, laughed at her own missteps, saying, “Oh God, this is going to go great.” The two-time Oscar winner was spotted admiring the orchestra section filled with cardboard cutouts of nominees before exiting with a smile.

Andrew Garfield and Goldie Hawn, who are set to present the Animated Feature and Animated Short categories, shared a lighthearted moment. Garfield rubbed Hawn’s back after she fumbled a line, and the two exchanged a celebratory high-five when they finally nailed their timing.
