MOVIES10 things you don’t see on the Oscars telecastUSA TODAYEveryone looks flawlessly glamorous during the Oscars telecast, but behind the scenes, millions of dollars and thousands of hands are making sure the show goes off without a hitch. USA TODAY reveals 10 things that won't be captured by the cameras on entertainment's biggest night (ABC, Sunday, 8 p.m. ET/5 PT).Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty ImagesIt really does take a village to get a nominee (pictured: Regina King in 2019) gussied up. Between the dress designer, stylists, makeup and hair, a star’s Oscar prep requires at least three hours and 10 people. "Of course they look flawless. Who wouldn't?" says makeup artist Gina Brooke.DAN MacMEDAN/USA TODAYWe love to think we're seeing authentic astonishment when a nominee wins (pictured: Brie Larson in 2016). But "we practice (speeches) in the shower, in the car, when we think no one's listening," says industry publicist Bumble Ward. "Most people have something ready to go.Robert Deutsch, USA TODAYEvery celebrity's red carpet arrival is timed. Will you ever see famous exes (say, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, seen here in 2014) run into each other on a red carpet? Never. Those limos will keep taking laps until any potential misadventures on the red carpet clear.Jason Merritt, Getty ImagesIn a town overflowing with open bars and endless swag, it's always a shocker to see the Academy Awards' bar charging $14 for a cocktail. No one is more surprised than first-time nominees, who, along with the rest of Hollywood, typically arrive cashless.Robyn Beck, AFP/Getty ImagesThe Oscars receive white-glove treatment and security backstage. The winners' engraved plates wait at the Governors Ball. "They see their name put on the Oscar, and it's emotional," says Randy Haberkamp, official Oscar historian.Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAYNo, Oscar does not look like someone you know. The 8½ pound gold-plated award wasn't designed from a specific model. Bette Davis (among others) claimed she coined the term "Oscar" based on the posterior likeness to her husband. "But no one knows for sure," says Haberkamp.Andrew H. Walker, Getty ImagesBackstage is crammed with wall-to-wall celebs (pictured: Hailee Steinfeld, left, and Dakota Johnson in 2017).

They are amazed by who's back there," says Haberkamp.Matt Sayles, Invision/APThe winners and their Oscars take a "winner's walk." Excited winners (pictured: Anne Hathaway in 2013) might be offered a chair or a bottled water. They then head down a corridor filled with pictures of past winners, to meet the blinding lights of the photographers.Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAYNot everyone is honored just to be nominated.

The jewelry might go back Oscar night. Exception: Gwyneth Paltrow's dad Bruce bought her the 40-carat diamond Harry Winston necklace she wore for her win in 1999.Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY
