The 2023 Oscars are almost here!

Access Hollywood got an exclusive sneak peek at the rehearsals for the 95th Academy Awards on Saturday, where anticipation took over the Dolby Theatre as A-list presenters and performers got their routines on lock ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night.

 

Our insider reports that “Creed 3” star Jonathan Majors got big cheers every time he went through his segment, and had such a natural delivery alongside fellow powerhouse Michael B. Jordan that it was impossible to tell he was reading from a teleprompter.
