Renée Zellweger revealed that she walked half a mile to the 2020 Oscars ceremony in order to "be grounded."
The actor, who won best actress playing Judy Garland in "Judy" at the 2020 ceremony, spoke to Jimmy Fallon about her "rituals" before attending an awards ceremony.
"I want to be grounded when I go in," she said. "I just want to get in touch with my family, talk to my mom and dad and my brother and do things that keep you grounded before you go in."
"So I have a couple of rituals and things that I like to do before I go. I like to walk. I don't like to get in the car with the long limo ride."
Zellweger clarified she dislikes the crowds. "I don't like getting out and it's all crazy and people screaming and stuff, so I sneak in," she said.
"All the people come out and they stand and they're looking at the red carpet, so I come in behind all the people. Yeah, I sneak in behind all of them."
The "Bridget Jones's Diary" star clarified that "the only hotel room that was available was a half a mile away," and she was wearing tall high heels.
"I don't recommend it. But it is a good exercise for keeping you grounded. It was raining that night so I was extra grounded when I got there," she added.
Zellweger also discussed her new role in the new NBC crime drama "The Thing About Pam" with Fallon.
She said she had to take "lots of Benadryl" because she was allergic to the prosthetic glue used to transform her into Pam Hupp.
"I was so allergic to the adhesive. It was hilarious," she told the host.
