A-listers dress down for casual day at the Academy Awards

LOS ANGELES — Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Helen Mirren, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Emily Blunt, Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Mahershala Ali were among the stars participating in casual day at the Academy Awards.

Casual day is really rehearsal day the day before the big show, when a parade of actors come through the Dolby Theatre in their street clothes and sneakers to run through the lines they'll deliver in formalwear on Sunday night.

And it was a family affair. McConaughey brought his wife, Camila Alves. She cheered loudly from the audience front row when he walked out on stage.

Davis brought her daughter, Genesis, who was disappointed that she couldn't continue watching rehearsals once mom's work was done.

The Oscars will air Sunday on ABC.
