Amy, Tina and Maya rehearsed for the Oscars earlier today at the Dolby Theatre. From what USA Today reported, it looks like they are opening the show tomorrow. You can read more about it below and check out photo from the rehearsals in our gallery!
Amy Poehler has one golden rule for the Oscars.

Before a room of seat placards, producers and Academy staffers, Fey read off her first line. “Good evening, and welcome to the one millionth Academy Awards!” Fey said at the microphone to laughter, segueing straight into a joke about how there’s no host this year.

Then Rudolph opened her white rehearsal envelope: “And the Oscar goes to … Amy Poehler!” she proclaimed, in faux shock.

No can do, responded Poehler: “If any of us fall, the other ones have to go down, too.”
“There’s Gaga!…Where’s Bradley?” said Poehler, after spotting Lady Gaga’s photo on one of the dozens of cardboard placards emblazoned with celebrity head-shots that pepper the near-empty orchestra as seat-holders. “Dana Carvey!” Poehler said excitedly, noticing her former Saturday Night Live costar’s photo affixed to another. “There’s Angela Bassett…Glenn…”
