Andrew Garfield and Goldie Hawn: An Unexpected and Adorable Duo Takes the Stage at Oscars Rehearsals
Okay picture this Andrew Garfield and Goldie Hawn together on stage. Sounds kind of amazing right? Well it happened at the Oscars rehearsals and apparently it was even better than we could have imagined! This "unlikely duo" as some are calling them are set to present the awards for Animated Feature and Animated Short. And from all accounts their rehearsal was pure gold.
Sources say Andrew and Goldie were in seriously high spirits totally charming everyone. They were working on their lines nailing the timing and just generally having a blast together. Apparently there were giggles arm-linking and even hand-holding happening on stage. How cute is that?
When Goldie had a little stumble with her lines she just laughed it off and said "Okay here we go…" Andrew being the total sweetheart he is rubbed her back to encourage her. And when they finally got their run-through perfect? Boom enthusiastic high-five all around! It sounds like their chemistry is going to be amazing when they actually present on the big night. Keep an eye out for this pairing they are going to be a highlight for sure.
Emma Stone Oprah Whoopi and More A-Listers Spotted Rehearsing for the 2025 Oscars Ceremony
Andrew and Goldie weren't the only stars gracing the Oscars stage for rehearsals . A whole bunch of other big names were there getting ready for their presenting duties. Emma Stone was spotted and even she a two-time Oscar winner needed a little practice. Apparently she fumbled her lines at first and joked "Oh God this is going to go great" showing her down-to-earth humor.
Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg also reunited and rehearsed their presentation together. These two legends who both starred in "The Color Purple" even got a standing ovation from the crew during their rehearsal! Other stars spotted included Sterling K. Brown Ana de Armas Da’Vine Joy Randolph Miles Teller and Miley Cyrus. It sounds like the presenter lineup is absolutely stacked this year. The rehearsals were described as spirited and fun with everyone mostly dressed casually and makeup-free just focused on getting ready for the big show.
Andrew Garfield: Oscar Favorite Even When He's Just Presenting
Even though Andrew Garfield is not nominated for an Oscar this year his presence at the rehearsals just reminds us how much Hollywood loves him. He is a two-time nominee himself and always brings a certain charm and warmth to any event he is a part of. Remember his past nominations?
- Best Actor Nomination for Hacksaw Ridge (2017): Andrew earned his first Best Actor nod for his powerful performance in this war drama.
- Best Actor Nomination for Tick Tick... Boom! (2022): He snagged his second nomination for his incredible portrayal of Jonathan Larson in this musical biopic.
While he hasn't taken home the gold yet his nominations prove he is definitely an actor the Academy recognizes and respects. And based on reports from the rehearsals his easygoing nature and genuine enthusiasm make him a joy to watch even when he is just handing out awards. Maybe next year will be Andrew's year to win but for now we can enjoy seeing him light up the Oscars stage as a presenter.
