Hanks, Fonda and more stars amuse at Oscars rehearsals
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell are standing on the Oscars stage performing some hilarious material for a few dozen people who are in stitches watching the two comedians. It’s Saturday, the day before the film industry’s biggest night and everything has a stand-in: The Oscars are plastic, the winners are “for this rehearsal only” and the same guy is playing Leonardo DiCaprio and Keanu Reeves. Fonda found herself a little star-struck and marveled at “all the famous faces” in the crowd, even though she was just looking at pictures of the stars in the seats they’ll be sitting in show night. Hanks nodded to Brad Pitt’s place card and Hayek was excited to discover that she’d be sitting near “all of her friends,” including fellow presenter Penelope Cruz. Chrissy Metz practiced belting out the nominated song “I’m Standing With You,” from the film “Breakthrough,” while composer and lyricist Diane Warren cheered her on from the audience.
