LOS ANGELES — It is decidedly casual inside the Dolby Theatre the day before the Oscars.
Most people, celebrities included, are wearing jeans and sneakers, and in Brie Larson’s case, a backpack, to practice presenting awards Saturday. Walking out with Javier Bardem, Angela Bassett looked comfortable in a matching blue Adidas tracksuit and baseball hat to top it off. But look down at her feet and you might be a little surprised to see glittery silver high heels.
Yes, the atmosphere is relaxed, but for the female presenters, show-day footwear — or at least something that’s a similar height — is recommended to get the camera shot locked in. And perhaps it’s not a bad thing to get in a little practice striding across that long stage to the microphone before millions of people are watching Sunday night.
Stars turned out throughout Saturday to run through their categories to get a feel of what it will be like on show day. There’s music, lights, nominee reels, an announcer and even an envelope with a winner, and a stand-in assigned to be said winner who walks up to the stage, from where that star will actually be sitting, and gives a full acceptance speech.
«Crazy Rich Asians» star Constance Wu seemed nervous to read off of the card inside the envelope.
