From Emma Stone's self-deprecating humor to Garfield rubbing co-presenter Hawn's back, PEOPLE goes behind the scenes of the star-studded rehearsals for Hollywood’s biggest night!

After Stone, Winfrey made her way to the stage wearing sky high heels — presumably to practice navigating the long stage in the heels she’s wearing to the show. She and her presenting partner, Whoopi Goldberg, elicited a rare standing ovation from the people in the room — an array of production staff, camera people and publicists.

See what else EW witnessed as presenters, including Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Sterling K. Brown, and more practiced for Hollywood's biggest night.

The 97th Oscar Awards are set to raise their curtain in a few hours. Ahead of the big night, the presenters, including Andrew Garfield, Ana de Armas, and Oprah Winfrey, among others, have shared behind the scenes from their rehearsals at the Dolby Theaters.
