Inside the Secret, Last-Minute Rehearsals for Tonight's Academy Awards - Vanity Fair

The presenters practiced their jokes. They negotiated over who'd hold the envelope. Though everybody was in street clothes, actresses sometimes tested the high heels they were going to wear on the big night across the glossy stage.

It was Saturday afternoon, the day before the Oscars, and rehearsals were underway.

Vanity Fair, which will be reporting from the wings of the stage during the broadcast, was granted access to watch the run-throughs, which are designed to help everyone from the crew to the stars figure out how to make everything flow seamlessly. Taika Waititi, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kelly Marie Tran, and Mindy Kaling nailed their parts smoothly after one or two tries, making it in and out within about 10 to 15 minutes each.

Timothée Chalamet sat in the front row of Dolby Theater, laughing at a song-and-dance routine that Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph were rehearsing. Wiig and Rudolph held hands as they practiced their walk to center stage, and Rudolph took a moment to strike a pose with a fierce expression. “There’s going to be some quiet acting going on,” she said.

The award contenders themselves don’t get to practice, of course—unless it’s at home in front of a mirror. (Otherwise, maybe best actor winner Rami Malek might not have fallen off the stage last year.)

Once Wiig and Rudoplh were finished, it was Chalamet’s turn onstage, walking out alongside Natalie Portman to hit their marks and study the lines for their presentation. Behind them, a camera on a wire dropped smoothly like a giant spider. In front of them, another camera on a mechanical column rose from the orchestra pit like a periscope.
