Reporter thank you, good morning, reena and kendis. Hey, the celebrations are under way right now. Were going to be hitting the after parties in a little bit. I know its really early in the morning where you are. Its still evening on the west coast. What a night here. The revenant, max max fury road took home several awards but best picture ended up going mark rylance, bridge of spies. The best supporting actor category was full of heavy hitters with the oscar going to mark rylance. If you ever wondered about acting with tom hanks works it help, yes. Alicia vikander took home best supporting actress. Mad max you have took home several awards. If they nominated hosts i wouldnt even get this job. Oscars host chris rock didnt pull any punchescracying the academys diversity controversy. Im a danish girl. Placing black actors in parodies of several nominated films. You should get me. Dont worry, black astronaut, we will. Even calling hollywood racist. Hollywood is so rority racist. Its like, we like you, rhonda. But youre not a kappa. To room questions brie larson.

Reporter after five acting nominations it was finally Leonardo Dicaprios year winning best actor for the revenant. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much. Reporter then the biggest award of the night. Spotlight. Best picture. What a night and were still seeing some of the stars trickle in behind us and heading to those after parties. The biggest one of them all the xwempbs ball. 1500 guests are there right now wining and dining with more than 50 dishes being prepared by wolfgang pucks team and more than 1,000 bots of wine for everyone to keep celebrating on the. We are envious. Now that the after parties are what, are you hearing . Reporter you know what, i have to tell you one of the most i guess one of the if you pleasest moments of the seening is behind us we see all the actor leave to go to the after parties. Tom hardy, fabulous job by him in the reb nant. He was here posing for photos with some people he was with. And people came coming up to him and kept coming up to him and saying can i take my pictures with you. These are guests that were at the oscars. They were attendees of the ceremony. Everyone wanted to take their picture with tom hardy. He was so nice. He kept taking pictures for like 20 minutes. Were hope ugh got a picture, as well. We have to kind of stay back here away from the stars. I wish. Im a huge fan of his. Thanks, brandi. Were going to go behind where you are backstage now inside the dolby theater and thats where abcs Jason Nathanson has been hanging out and jason, whats year . Reporter the one thing that i think everybody focused on here backstage and during the show and i think a lot of people in the audience, as well are talking about chris rock and theyre talking about diversity and talking about how well he did. He threaded that needle to talk about these really kind of intense subjects. One of his first jokes about how people didnt protest the lack of oscar diversity in the 60s because they were busy dealing with real things like lynchings. That was a hard hardcore joke. Got a lot of jokes but also very serious. He set the tone from the begin. Thats what everybody is going to be talking about tomorrow. You cover the industry. Do you think that the academy will eventually become more diverse in the near future . Thats a great question because its so hard. Theres so much work to do in changing, moving this big ship behind the scenes and getting people into these positions where theyre hiring, that they are in this he are directing that they are making these decisions. Change feeds to come. The oscars are not the real problem. Theyre a symptom of that problem a lot of people say. So its changing the studio system. Thats a huge system. Thats going to take years. The changes the oscars have made to try to make the membership more diverse, well see if that has any difference next year. I dont think it will. It does take a little while. Many admit next year might be a very white oscars, as well based on the films coming out this year. Jason nathanson joining us with the very latest from the dolby theater. Thank you. A pleasure, guys. We have much more oscars coverage including insight from the Senior Editor of Rotten Tomatoes talking about grae drake and thats later in this half hour. Turning now to toll politics and donald trump at the center of a new controversy with super tuesday just a day away. Trump is under fire for refusing to reject an endorsement from former ku klux klan leader david duke. Trump saying he did not know anything about duke as marco attacks at the frontrunner about his appearance, he also said trumps refusal to condemn duke makes him unelectable. We cannot be a party that nominates someone who refuses to condemn White Supremacists and the ku klux klan. We cannot be a party that does that. Youre going to see. Ted cruz tweeting racism is wrong. The kkk is abbore hent. He said a White Supremacist Group is urging people not to vote for the cubans in the race. As for the democrats, Hillary Clinton is setting her sights on the general election after her landslide victory in South Carolina. Clinton was joined in nashville bill actor tony gold whoin plays the president on the hit abc show scandal.

One of the biggest moments there. Spotlight winning best picture at the 88th academy awards. Lets turn to someone who really knows movies. Senior editor of Rotten Tomatoes. Grae drake. Were you surprised by spotlights big win . I was surprised and i was really excited because going into the race, it was between three movies spotlight the reb nant and the big short. Spotlight is such a deserving film. I loved it and im so excited took home a trophy. I was so touched. Anybody in journalism, youve got to watch this. Its so inspiring. Fantastic. It was inspiring to see leo take home the award but weve got to talk about sly stallone. We thought maybe this would be his year. Shocked . What . How did that happen . He was a lock going into the race. And you know what . He didnt win 40 years ago. And everybody thought, this is his moment. He was so incredible in creed. What a phenomenal film. So poetic to give it to sly. To the incredibly deserving mark rylance. And i leapt out of my seat and i went what . We were all shocked. Who knows, maybe in another 40 years might be his time. Never know. Well never know. But mad max won so many. Sort of a joke at the end of the night. People were joking around they were surprised the next award wasnt won by them. This is another one i am so psyched to see win that many awards because this is like a summer popcorn flick that audiences loved. And critics loved, too. Over at rot n ten tomatoes that movie was 97 certified fresh. Its so rare a film can capture both the hearts of audiences and critics. Mad max drove straight into our hearts and got all these really legitimizing awards. Nice. It was the best written movie of all of 2015. Well deserved there. But i got to ask, beyond the surprises . Were there flew other surprises or fun parts of the night you thought, this is actually kind of funny and great . I thought the night was pretty lacking in funny speeches or surprising moments. I really enjoyed even just little equips from louis ck, but i think chris rock as the host far exceeded i know my personal expectations for host in whats going into it was a really tricky year. And there were such High Expectations for chris rock. The fact you think he performed, thats impressive. What about the whole racial component to hollywood . Do you think the oscars and this whole voting process will be any different in the years to come . God i hope so. Because we really need some change. And thats what we saw in tonights oscar ceremonies. It was laden with talking about oscars so white. Which is t should have been. Comfortable. Kind of a difficult subject for some people including the old lightweight guy in the academy to accept. But this is the kind of thing that our world needs right now because its like a lump of coal with enormous pressure and a lot of uncomfortable is going to turn into a im eventually. Weve got move into this together. Really quickly, what movie will we be talking about next year at oscar time . One of them. Civil war . Who knows. Maybe batman versus superman. Grae drake, thank you so much. Hey buddy, lets get these dayquil liquid gels and go. But these liquid gels are new. Mucinex fast max. Its the same difference. These are multisymptom. Well so are these. This one is max strength and fights mucus. That one doesnt. Uh. Think fast you dropped something. Oh. Ill put it back on the shelf. New from mucinex fast max. The only branded cold and flu liquid gel that is maxstrength and fights mucus. Start the relief. Lets end this. Everyone loves how they and to keep those darks from fading. Theres woolite darks. Its free of harsh ingredients, like new for 30 washes so your love for dark clothes will never fade. Woolite darks. Oil differ from megared krill oil. By your body. Megared. The difference is easy to absorb. Okay, thats our oscar technobeat going on there i guess. Great. Okay. So lets talk about the oscars, shall we . You know, spotlight won the big award of the night. Weve seen many of the scenes. It tells a sad tale but it is a fascinating movie as we take a look at the spotlight trailer, you see these are some of the familiar scenes, of course, with some of the actors. And then lego decided to do their version of the spotlight trailer. Theyve done a little threeminute video showing all of the oscar nominated movies in lego and its hilarious. Including the martian, hes got the hair down on this one. Room and mad max fury. It took a lot of work to do all of this. Those folks go all out. Theyre well ahead of their time. You know someone else who went all out. Lots of people knew Leonardo Dicaprio was going to sweep this for his role as best actor. Apparently the flippest did this. Him going up to get his oscar award. Walks up the stairs. Hes got oscar in his eye. Getting ready 0 grab it. Not the bear again. The bear strikes in memoryium of leo and his oscar victory. Luckily nothing liking that is happening. Hes just at the oscar parties right now. Lets move on. Still with the theme. There were a lot of oscar related parties, of course. Its a really big night for parties. They kept with the theme you would say of this years parties larson at this one party. Thats bre . Yes. The cheese, of course. Yeah. A little baked bre. Then this martian hummus. What they did here was what happened here, they kind of made it seem like the land skach mars there. Thats how they designed their hummus right there. Thats funny. The oscar so white pizza. Zingner there. With the white cheese. No anchovies or sausages allowed in the making of that pizza. Oh, boy. Food must be a theme for the oscars because chris rock. Kind you have brother just hosted the show the. I was thinking of your pizza but chris rock rocked up to mcdonalds before the big show and he actually went through the drive through. See . So this is his pregame this is his pregame. I swear i didnt have any champagne yet. You wont know that based on had thats the news for this half hour, folks. Well be right back.

Thank you to the moviegoers thank you for going to the theaters and seeing our films. And the oscar goes to Leonardo Dicaprio. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much. Absolutely. What a fun, fun evening. It was a night to remember from chris rocks role as host to the shorter than usual acceptance speeches. Yeah, and it was really you could even see the crawl at the bottom which i thought was incredible of people thanking. Why havent we done that sooner. It was pretty great. They only got 45 seconds to be able to do their acceptance speeches but it seemed as if most people stayed to that. They did get political, as well. Many of them in their acceptance speeches. Leo dicaprio did climate change, as well. Were going to change abcs brandi hitt who is live in hollywood. Brandi, were insiders actually surprised to see spotlight win . There were a few people predicting it could win best most of the critics thought the revenant was going to take home the top prize. However, it really was a threeway race between the revenant, the big short and spotlight. Spotlight actually won the Screen Actors Guild award for best ensemble. It wasnt a huge surprise but kind of came from behind at the last minute to take it from the revenant, reena and kendis. Lets talk about chris rock for a minute. Whats been the reaction weve been hearing about his hosting duties . Reporter ive been looking around on twitter. Most people say he did a wonderful job. In fact, a lot of people are praising him for going after hollywood and he even called hollywood racist during the oscars telecast. Bette midler calling him the biggest winner of the night. Oprah winfrey giving him two thumbs up. Ellen saying on twitter that was incredible talking about his monologue and john legend saying congrats on your performance, chris rock. Hes one of the top talkers for the awards show. You know what the other top talker im finding on twitter is i was trying to figure out why is everyone talking about michael keaton. Obviously spotlight winning best picture. Michael keatons celebration as he walked up to the stage, he kind of dropped two words that i cannot say on television. And its getting a lot of talk. A lot of smiles this morning. I was wondering what that was about. Abcs brandi hitt explaining it all from the dolby theater. Brandi in hollywood, thank you so much. He was pretty pumped. Lets check in right now with another member of our team who spent hours on the red carpet earlier on sunday and backstage. Abcs Leslie Messer. Good morning. We have to start with what a huge win for Leonardo Dicaprio. Reporter i was so afraid of what would happen if leo didnt win. That is how badly everybody wanted him to take home best actor. And when it was announced, the entire press room erupted into applause. Everyone, i mean, it was like everyone was breathing an its pretty impressive. You can hear him right there. He made a big speech about climate change, as well. Already passionate about a lot of causes. What was it with the reaction backstage to chris rock . What are people buzzing about now . I think everyone was really impressed that he tackled this controversy headon. It continued throughout the show. If he hadnt done what he did, i think he would be criticized for that. I thought he was really funny. Everyone was laughing at his jokes. Nothing really fell flat. I give him credit. He did a great job. The New York Daily News not agreeing saying he went too far. He did go there. Whats it like to cover the oscars . I imagine its pretty glamorous. Youre there on the red carpet. Youre rubbing elbows with leo. Whats it like . As far as work assignments go, it could get a lot worse than having to cover the oscars. Its surreal. Its something everybody grows up watching on television and to be there and see your favorite more unbelievable than theyve ever looked and then also on a sentimental note, seeing them accomplish their dream and realizing this lifelong dream is a pretty special thing to see if it is a really big deal there.

The most anticipated moment of the night was the start of the awards. The start of the award was the moment that host chris rock took the sage about the world waiting to see what he would say about the controversial lack of diversity among the nominees. As expected rock had plenty to say. This is the wildest, craziest oscars to ever host because you got all this controversy, no black nominees. You know . And people are like, chris, you should boycott. Chris you should quit. You should quit. You know, how come its only Unemployed People that tell you to quit something . Im sure there were no black nominees some of those years, say 62 or 63 and black people did not protest. Why . Because we had real things to protest at the time like too busy being raped and lynched to cinematographer. Jadas going to boycott the oscars. Jada boycotting 0 the oscars is like me boycotting rihannas panties. I wasnt invited. If you want black people every year at the oscars just have black categories like best black friend. Hollywood is sorority racist. Its like, we like you, rhonda. But youre not a kappa. Because rocky takes place in a word where white athletes are as good as black athletes. So rockys a Science Fiction movie. He did get a lot of laughs. Did he get the tone right, do you think . There was a lynching joke and there was a rihanna underwear joke. Yeah. It was quite a tone. The New York Daily News said that he went way too far. They put him on the front page. Chris rock style. He did it his way, didnt he . He did. He probably wont be back next year. He did a great job. Bravo. Next to one of the most awkward moments of the evening. When chris rock introduced stacy dash. Remember her in the actress turned fox news pundit who has mocked the necessity of b. E. T. And even black History Month as the academys new director of minority outreach. I cannot wait to help my people out. Happy black History Month. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, boy. Yeah, you could tell there was a bit of awkward silence and then a bit of polite applause. But really the best reaction may have come from the weekend who really, really didnt want to laugh. But he just couldnt resist. So he did laugh. He didnt know what to do. Neither did any of us at home. Afterwards dash did take to her blog responding to her critics shes not black enough saying id rather be a free thinking black than a cookie cutter black who thinks and votes just like all my friends. Who knew there was such a thing as cookie cutter blacks. Now earlier, an even more awkward moment played out on the red carpet and the internet. A Beauty Company tweeted they had no idea oprah was tattooed. They couldnt believe, it was kind of awkward. As you can see, thats not really oprah. The woman with the tattoos is whoopi goldberg. Its different . And considering there werent a lot of people of color there total beauty knows they screwed up. They tweeted an apology to oprah, whoopi and everyone else. Gayle king waited and had this image of a confused oprah. I love this one. Reacting to the mixup. King saying we all love whoopie but we all dont look alike. That was great. I loved it. Love the reaction. I want to remind you our coverage of the oscars wouldnt be complete without discussing fashion. Yes. Were going to get to the women starting with the jared leto. Jared leto who rocked a crimson piped tuxedo with a red flower in place of a bow tie. A carnation, to be exact. And next 9yearold Jacob Tremblay who looked amazing. Strutting his stuff. Such a cutie. He absolutely is in a classic tux. But what you dont see are his darth vader socks. Oh. Smart kid. Wanted the force to be with him. Is that the right force . No . Sorry. Finally our own red carpet host Michael Strahan in an eyecatching twotone blue tux but apparently gq magazine wasnt impressed. How can you criticize his necktie . They said when it comes to black tie events there are only two options a bow tie or no tie at all. If you can pull it off, hey, michael, you can pull it off. Michael looked absolutely amazing. Now that the guys are out of the way, it is time for the real fashion to begin. Jacksons red carpet round coming up next. Hes got his take on fashion. Up for it. Its really impressive. I might be wearing that for my halloween party. Will you . Yeah. Halloween party. Will you . Yeah. But these liquid gels are new. Mucinex fast max. Its the same difference. These are multisymptom. Well so are these. This one is max strength and fights mucus. That one doesnt. Uh. Think fast you dropped something. Oh. Ill put it back on the shelf. New from mucinex fast max. The only branded cold and flu liquid gel that is maxstrength and fights mucus. Start the relief. Ditch the misery. Lets end this.

Our bachelor analyst is not one of them. But hes here anyway to give us thoughts on the looks of the night. Jack sheehan, welcome. Yes, i got all dressed up for it. Lets get right to. Who else got dressed up . Charlize theron. Lets take a look at this. Now that is a movie star, ladies and gentlemen. Total glam on the red carpet. That is dior haute couture. That strategically placed necklace. Old charlize had heads turning in red on the red carpet. I got to say jadore. No doubt. Neckline. You see the theme developing here.

That is a whimsical flowing mess right there. A nightmare. Lavender, white, and a disaster. They didnt finish it. She just got to put that thing away and forget that that ever happened. Holy god. It didnt get any better with olivia wilde. Thats wild. Thats a pleated cream something from valentino. It looked like strips of tape to be honest. It kind of does. When it comes back up, that weird choker necklace didnt do anything for anybody either. Olivia wilde. Thats. Also cate blanchett. Were going to disagree on this one. She looks beautiful. She looks stunning. Im going to go on the record and declare that a flowery seafoam green disaster from armani. No. You couldnt be further from the truth. We love it. Somebody in hollywood called that good and they should be fired. We love this. Oh, no. We disagree. Get her out of here. Whos next . Sandy powell this woman is a costume designer.
