excitement in hollywood off the charts.

this ode to hollywood's golden age of musicals and to hollywood itself has many ardent supporters. it dominates the oscars field, with 14 nominations, matching the record set by all about eve and titanic. it is pretty strange that we keep running into each other. maybe it means something? i doubt it. la la land has won the hearts and minds of academy members. it has won virtually every other awards group in the run—up to the oscars. its creator, damien chazelle, toiled for six years to bring this finely—crafted musical onto the silver screen. it stars emma stone and ryan gosling. it is a genre that i think we all thought was gone — the old hollywood musical. i think itjust feels very special that it happened and i think the audience is connecting with that. you need a computer at nasa? you think women can handle this? the other main nominees are less dreamy than la la land and, in storytelling and casting, display diversity. last year, the awards were beset by the oscars still white protests. this year, there are movies in the running, like moonlight, hidden figures and fence

that good old —fashioned hollywood style humour. it would have been good if ellen degeneres posted it tonight because she would have brought in a tremendous amount of politics. it will be interesting as well to see which film gets best picture. it used to be five films, now it is ten films nominated. i don't really like that. i wish it was down to five. look at this list. the golden globes divided into drama, musical, and comedy. it will give more of a chance to give a variety of films. but it will be interesting to see if moonlight gets best picture. but it will be interesting to see if moonlight gets best picturem but it will be interesting to see if moonlight gets best picture. it will indeed. i really want to ask questions but that is it for now. you can stay up—to—date with the events in los angeles with live updates on our website. just go to bbc.com/news for the latest on the winners, nomineees, the politics, analysis, and the history of the awards. tens of thousands of people in south sudan are starting to see food aid a

my advice to hollywood, keep going the way you are going. the more you continue to undermine the president and country and defend a guy that lectures us when he lives in the number one state sponsor of terror and will not dare take them on -- it means more of the american people will discover how irrelevant you all are. m joining us now with reaction, former speaker of the house newt gingrich.in how are you? >> i'm doing great. that was quite an opening. >> sean: can you give me one award show for nurses, surgeons that save people lives, policemen, garbagemen, construction workers -- where are their award shows? i don't see any award shows for them. >> i think that is right but i will give you one fact that shows you what a phony jimmy kimmel's reasoning was. he talked about 220 countries that don't like us. those folks in hollywood make a large part of theirs profit out of all those countries. they know that there movies have to sell worldwide. the fact is, those countries like our movies into most people in those countries would like to li

and in hollywood, it's the biggest night of the year. the oscar ceremony gets under way very shortly, and the biggest names in the film world have been arriving. we'll be live on the red carpet shortly. but first, our arts correspodent, will gompertz, looks at who's in the running for the top awards. there is more than one song to the oscars. yes, there is the frivolous showbiz side. more than the red carpet, the lavish after party. there is a different side to the business. filmmaking is at heart a cottage industry, as shown by these two matt br is from london who are up two matt br is from london who are up against each other in the special effects department. —— brothers i have my family working for me. my soi'i have my family working for me. my son is working for me. more up and coming. the next generation is ready. you are going to have oscars in yourfamilyfor ready. you are going to have oscars in your family for decades?” ready. you are going to have oscars in your family for decades? i hope so. in your family for decades? i

hollywood has changed. i mean we alluded to one part of it which is that the distribution channels for work are vastly different, but i'm just wondering as you look back on all this, how is your life now as an actor materially different than it was when you were doing episodic television or something like that? 25 years ago. - materially different, you know. when i moved out there i moved from dallas, and you know it was the, it was kick it up. you know, tear up the streets and try to find work. and i, i principally went out there just to kind of get into the big game of voiceovers, but i had done a small part in a picture. not a small part, it was a lead in a small picture that i was cast in out of dallas, and so when i moved in january of '89 i slept on the couch in my buddy's apartment in long beach. - it's the cliche right? - yeah, and just started, but i was fortunate enough. i started getting voiceover work right away, and then i was cast in a tv movie in a lead for abc. horrible, horrible... - called

calling out hollywood. for making unwatchable movies from unreadable books. ironically, it's a phrase taken from the movie "true romance," it was made by quentin tarantino. we are joined from l.a. by sabo. thank you for coming on. behind all this art is what seems to be a pretty coherent critique of hollywood. what is it? >> i would hope, i have loved politics my whole life. i live in l.a. i am in the belly of the beast so why not punch it every now and then? that young man that you were talking about -- i love l.a., these entertainers that we allow into our homes because we find them entertaining, only to be punched in the head with their politics. i think that's kind of rude. >> tucker: do you think movies are getting worse? >> yeah, maybe we are just getting dumber. w i am not sure. if they are not. but that young man that was talking about not wanting walls, he obviously did not see those huge walls that were dividing us from them or the walls that are separating us from all those hollywood parties after the show.s >> tucker: i noticed that. the only ille

but the issue here is that hollywood elites, hollywood liberals, like to preach for the rest of the country about what they should do, that they are intolerant, bigoted. yet, they don't seem to put any of the work into making sure that these people have housing, what the cost to the taxpayer eskimo with a national security risk is to bring in refugees from countries that don't have a central government. so, the philosophy of saying one thing and doing another, certainly applies to hollywood. it is not just on the refugee or immigration issue. gun control and all that, as well. >> bill: i know liberal hollywood actors who give a lot of money to charities that help migrants and help certain people, that they support. so, i don't think it is fair on a condemnation level. but do you take it a step further, mary anne, if you are saying, okay, i want open borders, which is really the code that most of this group was in, border enforcement, don't bother them when they are here unless they are heinous people. let them do what they want. do you have an obligation, then, to do more than just write a

this ode to hollywood's golden age of musicals and to hollywood itself has many ardent supporters. it dominates the oscars field, with 14 nominations, matching the record set by all about eve and titanic. it is pretty strange that we keep running into each other. maybe it means something? i doubt it. la la land has won the hearts and minds of academy members. it has won virtually every other awards group in the run—up to the oscars. its creator, damien chazelle, toiled for six years to bring this finely—crafted musical onto the silver screen. it stars emma stone and ryan gosling. it is a genre that i think we all thought was gone — the old hollywood musical. i think itjust feels very special that it happened and i think ther audience is connecting with that. you need a computer at nasa? you think women can handle this? the other main nominees are less dreamy than la la land and, in storytelling and casting, display diversity. last year, the awards were beset by the oscars still white protests. this year, there are movies in the running, like moonlight, hidden figures and fenc

it's the night hollywood takes the time to honor the finest in cine cinema. then it's back to green lighting big mama's house for mama in space. we enjoy it while it louisianas. lasts. james franco and anne hathaway did a nice job hosting the show. [ cheers and applause ] i guess it's historic. this is the first time a man and a woman have hosted the oscars together on stage. once again, the hollywood liberals trying to force their heterosexual agenda down our throats. [ laughter ] james franco, hosted and nominated for "127 hours," a true story of when charlie sheen got stuck under a huge rock of cocaine. [ laughter ] and had to cut a hooker's arm off. now the big winner, "the king's speech." it was a low-budget british fi, million, wound up making $250 million. most of that around the world, not here. because it was such a huge success, they're already working on adapting it specifically to appeal to an american audience. the trailer was released today for the oscars. really, i think we've already found our front-runner for next year's oscars. ♪ >> he was
