Introduction
The 2025 Oscars are just around the corner, and Entertainment Weekly got a special sneak peek at the rehearsal for Hollywood’s biggest night. Among the exciting moments, we saw the reunion of the Color Purple stars Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, as well as the preparation of several star-studded presenters, including Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Sterling K. Brown.
Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey Reunite
One of the most heartwarming moments at the rehearsal was the reunion of Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, who shared big smiles as they prepared for a top-secret presentation. The two were nominated for their roles in the 1985 film The Color Purple—Goldberg for Best Actress and Winfrey for Best Supporting Actress, though neither won that year. Goldberg went on to win Best Supporting Actress in 1991 for Ghost.
In a delightful twist, Gayle King made a surprise appearance to greet her longtime best friend Oprah, adding to the warmth of the reunion.
Rehearsal Highlights
EW was invited into the Dolby Theatre on Saturday to watch the rehearsal for the 97th Annual Academy Awards. We saw several stars practicing their roles, including Sterling K. Brown and Ana de Armas, who were easing into their speeches for Best Live-Action Short. Meanwhile, Andrew Garfield and Goldie Hawn were rehearsing to present Best Animated Short and Best Animated Feature. Garfield kept his arm around Hawn, with the Oscar-winning actress helping to ensure their presentation went smoothly.
Funny Moments from Rehearsals
The rehearsals weren't without some lighthearted moments. Miley Cyrus and Da’Vine Joy Randolph were among those rehearsing, along with Miles Teller and Emma Stone, the two-time Best Actress winner. Stone had a brief mishap when she stumbled over her words but quickly made a joke: "This is gonna go great!" adding a bit of levity to the proceedings.
