LOS ANGELES (AP) - Some dressed down in jeans and hoodies. Others looked camera-ready in suits or chic dresses and spiky stilettos.

But all of the stars who rehearsed Saturday for the 85th Academy Awards seemed excited to be a part of the big show.

They paraded through the Dolby Theatre in 15-minute increments: Meryl Streep. Ben Affleck. Reese Witherspoon. Richard Gere. Jennifer Aniston. John Travolta. Jack Nicholson. And dozens more.

Each practiced their lines in front of an audience of show workers and awarded prop Oscars to rehearsal actors.

They also scanned the theater from the stage, searching for their show-night seats. Jane Fonda took a picture of the stage with her iPhone.

The Academy Awards will be presented Sunday and broadcast live on NewsChannel 9.
