2009 Oscar Host and Nominees

During a rehearsal break, Hugh took Oprah's cameras on an exclusive backstage tour of Hollywood's famed Kodak Theatre. The first stop? Hugh's dressing room. "It was called the Billy Crystal room, but I've changed that name because I was like, 'Billy who?'" he jokes.

The luxurious Architectural Digest Green Room is where presenters will gather before taking the stage. "It's always an interesting place to be [on Oscar® night] because some presenters are terrified, and some people are up here having a few drinks," Hugh says.

Before heading back to rehearsals, Hugh shares a top-secret Oscars scoop. "I'm actually in a little bit of a dance number," he says. "The stars of High School Musical and the stars of Mamma Mia! are going to be joining me on stage. There's going to be, trust me, some other surprises."
