  • Amy Adams%2C Matthew McConaughey also rehearsed and will be presenters at the Oscars on Sunday

Angelina Jolie's right leg is back where it belongs, on the Oscar stage.

Jolie made a joke about showing her famed right appendage during Oscar rehearsals at the Dolby Theatre on Thursday. She is one of many celebrities -- including Brad Pitt, Naomi Watts, Matthew McConaughey and Amy Adams -- who have come into the theater to practice presenting duties for Sunday's Oscar program.

As Jolie wrapped up her rehearsal Thursday for presenting, she announced laughingly, "And then I go like this."

She then jokingly thrust her leg forward.

During the 2012 Oscars, Jolie revealed the same leg through the slit in her gown on the Oscar stage, creating one of the lasting impressions of the night.

The leg became the instant sensation on the Internet, earning its own Twitter account (@AngiesRightLeg), countless memes and a tribute song.

Jolie looked stunning Thursday morning despite wearing minimal makeup for the rehearsals. Her gray sweatshirt and black leggings were glammed up with a pair of high heels.

Offstage, Jolie explained to student filmmakers that it's important to practice in the right formal shoes.

"I used to wear flip-flops," she said. "But when you do this enough, you learn to wear the shoes you are going to present in."

She also noted the success of the rehearsal. "I didn't fall in a hole," Jolie said with a laugh.

Pitt arrived for his rehearsal separately on Friday night and worked quickly through the proceedings. Adams, nominated for best supporting actress for American Hustle, braved the rain to show up for rehearsals on Friday morning.

She immediately whipped off her all-weather boots and replaced them with four-inch spiked silver high heels for her stage walk.

Afterwards, Adams noticed her seat very close to the stage right near a camera.

"I am never going to be off camera," Adams said. "I am really going to have to behave."

McConaughey, nominated for best actor for Dallas Buyers Club, attended the rehearsals with wife Camila Alves on Friday. He vowed to continue his out-there formal apparel at the Oscars.

When asked what color tuxedo he was planning to wear on Sunday, McConaughey went deadpan: "It's going to be hot pink," he vowed.
