In is not a joke. Moonlight has won best picture. Moonlight, best picture. A shocked audience watched as the moonlight team gave a stunned acceptance speech sgll i dont know what to say. Im still not sure this is real. It was a show that got off to a rousing start with Justin Timberlake spreading sunshine throughout the theater. And jimmy kimmel playing politics. Were more than two hours into the show and donald trump hasnt tweeted at us once. Tweeting at the president , saying, trump, you up. And bringing in a gag tourists to meet the stars. I now pronounce you husband and wife. Kiss the bride. Hes denzel. So its legal. As far as the rest of the night, best supporting actor for moonlight, becoming the first supporting actor to win an os k oscar. I became an artist and thank god i did, but a we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life. And Casey Affleck won best actor for manchester by the sea. The undercurrent of politics was never far away. Some winners were barred from entering the country by immigration authorities. Our photographer, had a u. S. Visa, tried to board a plane and wasnt able to come. Even with the best picture, the big winner of the night was la la land. 14 oscars, took home six statutes. Best song, best leading actress, emma stone, and best leading actor. I want to thank my fellow nominees. I was floored to be in your company this year.

That has happened once before. Happened back in 1964. To sammy davis junior. Wow, lets hope it doesnt happenat has only happened one to sammy davis jr. Lets hope it doesnt happen again.

An anxious, the expression on emma stones face, pure shock as to what is unfolding there. The award for best poker face does not go to emma stone. But some diagram pa in politics, as always. President trump meeting with the nations governors today in rolling out. New budget proposals, as well. This as his war with the Media Reaches New heights. Peter alexander at the white house this morning. Good morning. Savannah, good morning and welcome back. Were glad youre here. A day before the president makes his first address to a new session of congress, the wall street journal shows us with his disapproval rating. 44 of the americans approve, 48 disapprove of his job so far. Today, President Trump is going to the outline his budget priorities. Multiple Senior Administration officials tell me thats going include a massive hike in military and Homeland Security spending made up for by cuts to several federal agencies including the state department and the epa all while protecting Social Security and medicare. At the white house sunday, the glitz and glaerm was reserved for americas governors. After four weeks, its been a lot of fun. But weve accomplished almost everything weve started out to accomplish. It comes as the president is again attacking reports that some of his Campaign Aides had improper contact with russian officials, mr. Trump dismissing the rush of talk as fake news put out by the dems and played out by the media in order to bash the elite. Still, the republicans are calling for a special prosecutor, not the attorney general, to oversee the russian investigation. You cannot have somebody, a friend of mine, jeff sessions, who was on the campaign and an appointee. Youre going to need to use the special prosecutors statute in office. Republican tom cotton briefed by fbi director james comey argues thats unnecessary. Theres no allegations of any crime occurring. Theres not even an indication that theres criminal investigations under way by the fbi. This morning, press Secretary Sean Spicer is reportedly cracking down on white house leaks. With increased security measures including random phone checks of white house staffers overseen by white house attorneys. Of course spicers effort to shut down leaks leaked. He didnt respond to an nbc news request for comment. Meanwhile, bill owens, the father of ryan owens, the navy s. E. A. L. Killed in yemen last month said he refused to meet with President Trump when his sons body returned home. Owens criticized the white house for calling the mission a success. I think anybody who undermines the success of ta rage owes an apology to the life and family of of ryan owens. President trump dininging saturday with daughter, ivanka, soninlaw Jared Kushner and nigel feragh, the british politician behind brexit. After wrapping up attacks on the media, the president said hell skill the White House Correspondent dinner this april. The last president to miss the event . Ronald reagan in 1981 when he was recovering from an assassination event. And the table is now set for 2018 with democrats electing a new Party Chairman quarterback former labor secretary tom perez. President trump tweeting i could not be happier for him or for the republican party. Perezs response, dont get too happy. Democrats united across the country will be your worst nightmare. Also this morning, the Trump Administration is once again looking for a new Navy Secretary after the president s pick said hes withdrawing from consideration, citing privacy concerns and concerns about separating from his business interests. Bilden is the second to withdraw his name. Lets bring in nicole wallace. Welcome back. Thank you. Over the next several weeks, your enthusiasm ties into the election and to the trump team seems to have been tied into your party affiliation. Now enter darrel issa. How does it change things . Darrel issas comments about a person prosecutor completely reorder the defense that the Trump White House has deployed. So far, every time the topic of russia and Donald Trumps apparent affection for all things putinesque has been dismissed as a media war or democratic efforts to undermine his electric tooral victory. So i think this is a game changer for the white house. And their arguments against darrel issa cannot mimic their attacks on the media and their attacks on the credit. Do you think that opens the front gates for the republicans . Well, i thought their arguments they sent out their surrogates on the sunday shows. They werent tight in their reasoning for why not. When the public thinks, why not just let everyone look into it in a bipartisan manner, just prove that youre clean. When it gets easier to make the case for getting to the bottom of it than against, i think the white house is in trouble. Sean spicer, the White House Press secretary, is conducting something of a leak investigation, trying to figure out who in this office, who in my own press office is talking to reporters in a way that is not authorized. First of all, if true, is that the significant . Is this white house really any leakier than the average white house . Well, it is leakier, but leaks are and in any organization. Not just the white house. Leak res a symptom, theyre not a cause. In this case, its the symptom of a like of any central leadership and a symptom of the way their boss hears from them. He hears from them by reading his own set of clips, not by any set of orderly strong Central Management system at the white house staff level. By the way, according to that report, sean spicer said hes doing spot checks on cell phones to find out b can i see your cell phone, please. Youll find a lot of amazon. Com orders. Thank you, guys. By the way, coming up, former president george w. Bush will give us his take on all things washington in an exclusive live interview. And hes going introduce us to some veterans that hes brought along with them. Tomorrow, well be live on capitol hill ahead of President Trumps first address to congress. House Speaker Paul Ryan will be our guest exclusively and well take you on a first of its kind tour live of the capital. This morning, we have new information on a terrifying crash at a Mardi Gras Parade. The driver, who police say was highly intoxicated when he slammed into a crowd is now facing several charges. Nbcs gabe gut aierrez with the latest. 21 people were rushed to this hospital and others. Incredibly, no one was killed. Were now learning more about what the suspect did in the moments immediately following the crash. And the offduty firefighter who says he yanked the suspect from his pickup truck. This morning, 25yearold nielson rizzutto is being held on 25,000 bail, charged with multiple crimes. Rizzutos pickup truck plowed into a crowd of bystanders at a Mardi Gras Parade friday night. Among them, new Orleans Police Sergeant Michelle woodborn who is in stable condition. How no one was killed is incredible. When he sped up, people were just bouncing off the hood of his car like bowling pins. A Police Officer tried to open the drivers side door, but it was jammed. He was curled up in a fetal position facing the drivers side. So i reached in and i grabbed him by his collar and i yanked him out and i threw him he literally flew on to the ground and what thought crossed my mind was that he realized what he did and he was so scared that he was just like a scared little child. Fire alarm, be advised there will be a mass casualty incident. Rizzuttos blood alcohol level three hours after the crash was nearly three times beyond the legal limit. But some who live and work along the parade route said the street should have been closed. This sends a clear message that this has to be done. Do you believe that that street should have been closed off . That street, 1 4u7b , should be closed off. If they dont close it off for next year, theres a problem. Among the injured, also a 1yearold child. Everyone is expected to fully recover. And matt and savannah, Authorities Say more charges are possible as this investigation continues. All right, gabe, thank you. Just before the oscars last night, movie fans were stunned to learn of the sudden death of beloved actor bill paxton. In a statement, the 61yearolds family says he died due to xlikdzs from heart surgery. Were going in bill paxton drove us through the eye of the storm in twister. I never dreamed id get to do Something Like that. He helped bridge us hope after a failed mission to the moon in apolo 13 and he said what we were all thinking in aliens. Three years, ive thought of nothing except titanic. Whatever the role, paxton showed he was a versatile player. He told katie couric in 2002 i like playing these guys from the heartland who are kind of conflicted, that are kind of every man. And every man loved by fans and actors alike. Tom hanks tweeting, bill paxton was simply a can you feel man. And kevin bacon, some of my favorite memory res of floating around in a tiny vessel with a brilliant bill backs ton. Charlize tweeted you were a great friend to me, bill, and one of the finest actors to share a set with. Paxton found success on tv playing a polygamist. Just a few weeks ago, paxton recalled a conversation he had on nbcs last call with carson daley. He said what kind of career do you want . I said i want to work in features. She said if you stick to this in the longterm, it will pay off. And she was right, it really did pay off. Now hollywood is showing big love for this admired actor. For today, joe friar, nbc news, los angeles. Such a great body of work and such a sudden death. Hes one of those people, you look at him and his face matches the kindness that he exuded.

We begin with major drama at the oscars. Im Natalie Morales in los angeles. It started out as a relatively normal night, with lots of big winners. And the Academy Awards saved the best for last, with a plot twist that the best writer in hollywood couldnt have written. This is not a joke, moonlight won best picture.

Reporter overnight, pricewate pricewaterhouse, issued a statement saying, the presenters had been given the wrong category envelope. And when discovered, was immediately corrected.

President trump rolls out his budget proposals today, with an eye towards increased military spending. Hes meeting with the nations governors at the white house. He told them that his first four weeks in office have been a lot of fun. On sunday, the president dismissed the latest reports of alleged contact between his associates and russians during the president ial campaign. He called the russia talk fake news. Designed to mask the democrats election defeat as well as illegal leaks. But a fellow republican congressman, darrell issa, is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate those russia ties. I turn to al. And i see a big red spot in the middle of the country. Topcy tufsyturvy weather. Look at these temperatures out west. Fresno, a really chilly it will be warmer in st. Louis, dallas, new orleans and almost boston, as far as the temperatures are concerned. Tuesday, las vegas is chillier than kansas city, indianapolis, d. C. , savannah and jackson. But by the time we get to the latter part of the week, things norm aal normalize. New york city, 72. Down to 42. Nashville, down to 53. Chicago, you will stay in the were getting some sunshine off the bay area, still very cool out there, especially in the north bay. But then youll start to see the temperatures making it into the 50s this afternoon, which will be cooler than average, but improvement over some of the weather we have seen recently. 55 degrees in the peninsula, and trivalley. And San Francisco looking at high of 54 degrees. 57 in the east bay and north bay. We will have a very slight chance of a lingering shower today, otherwise more dry weather today, and the rest of the workweek. And thats your latest weather. Matt . All right, al. When we come back, our exclusive live interview with my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a simple trip to the Grocery Store anything but simple. So i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. He explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask about humira, the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. Clearer skin is possible. Its something we dont vasethink about much except when weve got chapped lips or a small cut. But for People Living in areas of crisis, simple skin conditions can turn into serious issues. So we created the vaseline® healing project. A partnership with direct relief to help millions in need heal their skin so they can go back to work, or school.

Bushs postpresidency work has been dedicated to issues that veterans face after returning home. With a growing number suffering traumatic injuries and posttraumatic stress, president bush is working on programs that ease them back into civilian life. P portraits of courage, he uses his painted to highlight the sacrifice and courage of the military veterans. Well talk to them in a moment. Thanks for joining us. Its been a while. It has been a while. Let me get caught up on some things. You took office in 2001, after a contentious election. Controversial. And the Supreme Court decided it. The nation was incredibly divided. How would you compare the divisions we faced then, to what were living through right now . Its hard to compare times. One thing is for certain, the job is a tough job. Everybody looks at the presidency when they campaign one way. Then, they get in office and find out theres a reality to the job. And you know, theres been times when weve been divided. I remember growing up as a kid. I got out of college, we were really divided. And its you know, it requires a lot of people coming together to try to make us united. But theres Enormous Division right now. And although President Trump says he hopes to unify the country, have you in the first month, seen him do or say anything that in your opinion would be an attempt to heal the wounds of the election . First of all, theres only with been one month in office. Secondly, i they you have to take the man for his word that he wants to unify the country. Well see if hes able to do so. Its hard to unify the country with the news media being so split up. When i was president you mattered a lot more because there were three of you. And now, theres all kinds of information being bombarded out. And people can say things anonymously. And its just a different world. You bring me to an interesting point because you were a guy that faced praise and criticism from the media during your time in office. Even at the times when you were dealing with the worst criticism, where it must have been very difficult to hear and read some of the things that were being said by the pressure in this country, did you ever consider the media to be the enemy of the American People . I considered the media to be indispensable to democracy. That we need an independent media to hold people like me to account. I mean, power can be very addictive. And it can be corrosive. And its important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power. Whether it be here or elsewhere. One of the things i spent a lot of time doing, trying to convince a personal like vladimir putin, for example, to accept the notion of an independent press. Right. And its kind of hard to tell others to have an independent, free press and were not willing to have one ourself. You mentioned vladimir putin. So many questions about the contacts between Trump Associates during the campaign and the russian government. As a former president , would you like to see a special prosecutor appointed to look into this for once and for all and give the American Team answers . I think we all need answers. Whether or not the special prosecutor is the way to go, youre talking to the wrong guy. I have great faith in richard burr. Hes the head of the intelligence community. And independent thinker. If he recommended a special prosecutor, i would it would have credibility with me. But im really ive never been a lawyer. Im not sure the right avenue to take. I am sure, though, that that question needs to be answered. It was only eight or nine months after you took office that the attacks of 9 11 occurred. The worst terrorist attack on american soil. And just after those attacks, you gave a speech and you said this i want to speak tonight to muslims throughout the world. We respect your faith. Its practiced by millions of americans and by millions more in countries that america counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful. Thats very different talk than what were hearing today about a muslim ban. Do you think the president s position on this has been well thoughtout . I think its very important for all of us to recognize one of our great strengths is for people to be able to worship the way they want to or not worship at all. The bedrock of our freedom, a bedrock of our freedom, is the right to worship freely. And i you see, i understood right off the bat, matt this, is an ideological conflict. And people who murder the innocent are not religious people. They want to advance an ideology. And weve faced those in the past. But banning people from seven muslim countries from this country, do we make it easier or harder to fight the war on terrorism . I think its hard to fight the war on terrorism if were in retreat. And i think we learned that lesson. If the United States decides to pull out before a free society emerges, its going to be hard to defeat them. The enemy is very good about exploiting weakness. Its going to be important. If thats the goal, to defeat isis, which i believe it should be, that we project strength. Now, whether or not the domestic politics plays helps them or not. You for or against the ban . Im for an immigration policy thats welcoming and upholds the law. You sat at the inauguration. You listened to President Trumps inaugural address. And he talked about carnage and so much has gone wrong in this country and so much is wrong. Is that the america you see when you travel around this country . The america i see often is the america these vets represent, people willing to sacrifice for the greater good to put their lye lives on the l and make america a great place to live. Thats why im here. Im selling this book because i want america to realize how fortunate we are to have people in our midst and help them transition from being a vet to a civilian. And you transitioned me perfectly. Youre going to stick around. Let me tell people, we want to talk about portraits of courage and meet some of the military veterans that the president is honoring. First, though, a few of the stories behind the paintings youll see. My name is alexander glencamden. I was a Staff Sergeant in the United States infantry. I was a medic in the army. Our country is blessed to have people who are willing to sacrifice for something greater than themselves. At a young age, i realized how lucky we were to live here an i wanted to give back. It was the best decision i ever made. And i would do it again in a ha heartbeat if given the opportunity to. Not only do the vets have physical injuries. But they are also dealing with pts and tbi. We do a good job of hiding it, we dont get the help we need. I found i was in my room a lot of times. I knew i had to change something about my life. I was actually dying. I wanted to draw attention, not only to their courage, but to the fact that theyve contributed once and they need to know they can contribute again. Ive done more in my life with one leg than i probably ever would have done with two. And i feel lucky and fortunate. Theres a lot of veterans that die by suicide. Get them out of the house and doing things and back together with other veterans, has been huge. Blacksmithing is my form of expression. Its become my therapy. Its become what i do. Its my healing. Wow. Look at there. Thats me. Wow. Thats amazing. I guess it does kind of resemble brad pitt, you know . Thats pretty cool. I love that hat. Thats really cool that the president actually thought of painting me. Each one of these paintings was painted with a lot of respect and affection. I know each person i painted, i was thinking about their backgrounds, their service, their injuries and their recovery. And so, theres a lot of compassion and a lot of energy in each one of these paintings. Were happy to have savannah joining us along with some of the veterans featured in portraits in courage. Chris self, melissa stockwell. Michael rodriguez. And air force master sergeant, israel del toro. We call him d. T. Good morning to all of you. I wish everybody could see how all of you interact when the cameras arent on. These are true friendships among all of you, which made your job, i would think, all the harder. Here you are, theyre portraitist. You have to capture the essence of them. What was going through your mind . How did you feel . First of all, i want to sell a lot of books to raise money for helping our vets. Thats where the proceeds go. Secondly, i got to know all four of them pretty well. And i felt great pride. And people asking me, do you miss being president . Not really. But i miss saluting people who volunteer to wear the uniform. And all four of them did. You said to people over the years as all president s do, the most sobering responsibility of a commander in chief, is making the decision to put americans into harms way. Getting to know these people and especially in your postpresident ial years, do you have a new view of that . No. Its still hard. Hard decision to make. My view is this how can we help these great americans transition from the military to civilian life . Theyve got visible wounds. Invisible wounds. But all four of these vets are willing to stand up and say, i had an issue. And i want to help somebody else. And so, we have done a lot of work on this issue. Its peertopeer the counseling helps a lot. Theres groups like the langdone center here and the vet centers around the country that are able to help vets. It starts with, and these are what vets are important. Vets saying, i got a problem. In other words, theres a lot of denial because theres a stigma. And our message is, its courageous to talk about it. And seek help. First, i have to say, did he get the portraits right . Did he capture you guys . I think so. Chris, you said he made you better looking. Talk about it. You talked about the invisible injury. The injury that you cant see. Whats your message to people . What do you want them to understand about this transition to civilian life . I think the message is that first, dont keep it to yourself because, like the president said, the peertopeer counseling, peertopeer mentorship, through the hard times, are the best way to come out with it. And you know, find someone you can trust. You can talk to. And make sure youre discussing the feelings for those wounds that people cant see. By the way this, guy was in combat twice on one leg. Yeah. The stories of actual perseverance are unbelievable. Melissa, you lost a leg when your convoy hit an ied in iraq. What has transition to civilian life been like for you . I feel fortunate to have the mentorship, the camaraderie of the military. And being backed by the president , i cant tell you enough about going to the president s ranch on the w100 and riding a Mountain Bike with other Wounded Soldiers and showing there is life after disability. Ive done more in my life with one leg than i would have done with two. I feel like a lucky girl. You were rememberable to the president , other than a rock star, the only one wearing sunglasses when you first met. And can you talk about why and the significance of that. It was one of the traumatic brain injuries i had. I was sensitive to light. I would hide my double vision a lot. I was always winking. After a visit to the boss ranch, i saw the connection he had with us. And when you have sunglasses on, you lose that connection with someone. And i used to use it to hide behind. I was hiding what i was dealing with. When i saw he reached out and he opened his heart and home to us, and the caring way that president bush does, it inspired me to try to connect with people, as well. Yeah. It was nice to take the glasses off. It was awesome to paint his eye. D. T. , you are talk to me, first, about the injuries you sustained. And i want to mention as you do, youre still active duty, arent you . I am. Im still active duty. The first 100 disabled airman to reenlist in the air force. Im pretty happy that im still able to serve because its hard to find a job, a job that you truly love. And i love being in the military. I love being with these guys. Did i think of myself as be this person that people look up to me . I just no. This is never going to be my ideal job. I was going to be an operator. Do my job. Call in air strikes. But my injuries, 80 of my body has thirddegree burns. I was almost i almost died three times. They told me ill never walk again. Ill be on a respirator for the rest of my life. And i would still be in the hospital another year and a half when i woke up from four months in a coma. And two months after they told me that, i walked and breathe on my own out of the hospital. Well, your spirit is undeniable. All of you. Im not going to put you on the couch, president bush. I know you wouldnt like that. You know what rod said. He thinks this painting of portraits is as therapeutic and beneficial for you. No question about it. Its beneficial. It keeps me active so im not on the couch chewing potato chips. Two, its one of the great learning experiences. And it keeps me in touch with our vets in a unique way. When i was president , i said im going to have your back in a minute. And the postpresidency, i vowed that im going to help our vets as much as i possibly can for the remainder of my life. We have 45 seconds left. What dont americans get . What dont we get about transitioning back to civilian life for a lot of you folks . I dont think they get the fact that when veterans transition back to civilian life, they dont need a handout or favors. They want opportunities. I have the privilege of helping veterans in my postmilitary job and helping them find employment. From employers, we want to hire vets. We cant find them. That sounds like an excuse to me. Theyre out there, give them the opportunity. Theyll excel in your business. Ill tell you one thing. These vets dont want selfpity. They dont want to be pitied. They want to be helped. Were going to continue this discussion with the five oim. Vo firefighrs made severalren im laura garciacannon. Firefighters made several rescues during an Early Morning fire at an Apartment Building in hayward. Fire started about 1 00 this morning at tiki garden complex on london avenue. No one was injured. Firefighters had to use the ladder to rescue people from the balcony of an upstairs unit crew including a man if a wheelchair. 30 people are temporarily displaced. One unit had extensive damage. Firefighters still have not determined what caused the fire. It has been a rough morning commute on the peninsula. Mike joins us with details of a motorcycle accident. Warmer weather, more motorcycles on the roadways. This is my second one i reported for the morning alone. Coma, daily city southbound, still jammed up. Two lanes blocked, no report of any extensive injuries, but we have a rot of backup for the one section of 280. 101, smoother through that area. 101 on the peninsula, congested. Across the dumbarton bridge, tougher drive. Slow through palo alto, red wood city, belmont, things moving well. A big commute compared to last week because schools are back in session from the ski week that a lot of folks take. Back to you. Thank you very much, another update in half an hour.

She looked amazing. And the fit of that dress was perfect. Every single angle was perfect. Well, she is a star. And she knows how to certainly dress for the occasion. One of my favorites of the night, and i told her on the carpet, was hailee steinfeld. What did you think of her . Edgy and young but gorgeous. So beautiful. In person, too, even more stunning with her green eyes and the eye makeup popped. She always does it on the carpet. She goes for it. She always goes for it. And i think shes just such a fashion darling. And she took a chance. What did you think . She did a fantastic job of marrying that ethereal world. It could have been risque. But it was planned. And i loved the scalloped edges and wonderful neckline. She was going for fairy tale. And he nailed it. And she wore russo to the vanity fair party. She looked gorgeous in that, also. There was a lot. Their couture collection was outstanding. Ruth negga is another one that was a big got a lot of buzz last night. Wearing a color similar to yours. Beautiful red valentino.

She plays it safe sometimes. And it breaks my heart. This was such an optimistic dress. And it paid off. Went to the winners circle. When i saw her on the red carpet, i thought she came to win tonight. This is a winners gown. And this is actually the last gown that ricardo tici will design for ggivenchy. It took 1,700 hours to make that dress. Every detail was perfection. The men dont often get credit. But lets give them their due. Who of the guys brought it last night . Im a big fan of ryan gosling. And he always has the Perfect Little twist to his tuxedo. Oh. A little ruffle. The ruffle was great. It fit with his character, right . Yeah. He had a dark navy tuxedo with a ruffle shirt. I have to get a ruffle shirt. I have to have what he wears. Trend setter. He looked so cool and effortless. And never like hes trying too hard. I know. Thats so true. How can he pull it off . There is a lot going on. But it doesnt look like it. Theres a Little Something special there. Besides ryan, chris evans. Chris evans. I loved the beautiful bright blue hue of this farragamo suit. The tuxedo was so great with the contrasting shawl color. He looked so handsome. And every woman at the Elton John Party was like, oh. Someone that looks edgy and cool on the carpet is pharrell williams. Pharrell, always pushing the boundaries. Right . So great with all of those chains, the cummerbund, the broach. He always knocks it out of the park for me. Always pushing the fashion boundaries. I like the tails. I love the tails. Yeah. Hes so awesome.

Glitz, galam, and the gaffe fro last nights hollywood oscars. From nbc news this, is todays take. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And welcome to today. On a monday morning. February 27th, 2017. Listening to give me just one night. A little noche to get the week started. 98 degrees. Welcome to our guest, nick lachey. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for having me. You hear that . That was the song that got the applause. No. It was you, my friend. It was you. If you went to bed before the oscars were over, did you stay up to see the whole thing . I did, actually. I was flying in. Me, too. I fell asleep right before the end. Everything is going great. Its fine. And i woke up this morning, and i thought, what . They what . You missed a moment that will live in oscar history. Take a look. And the Academy Award for best picture come on. La la land. Theres a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won best picture. This is not a joke. This is not a joke. Im afraid they read the wrong thing. This is not a joke. Moonlight has won the best picture. Moonlight, best picture. Im still not sure this is real. I mean, can we unpack this a little bit . Sure. Lets talk about what happened here. Okay. You explain. Heres the deal. So, Warren Beatty opens the envelope. And you can see hes obviously flustered. He was hesitant. Hes trying to figure out. It was kind of that John Travolta moment. Totally confused. He looks offstage. He shows it to faye. She thought he was milking it. And she blurts it out, la la land. And the producers on their third speech. About 1 50 in to their speech, when producer, jordan horowitz, who announces its a mistake. He shows everybody, its almost like the proof is in the pudding. Were all skeptical. That picture shows it all. Yeah. It was a bit of a train wreck. But the way he handled it. The way that jordan handled it with grace and poise, i think it diffused what could have been a very, very awkward. Awkward and uncomfortable situation. Moonlight team comes on the stage accepting their award. The counting firm, price wat er house coopers said the presenters were given the wrong category envelope. And it was corrected. Were investigating how this could have happened and deeply regret this occurred. Youre Warren Beatty. Youre standing up there. What do you do . I have to think he was thinking, its the most prestigious award. Let me confer with the counting firm. Who would think of all of that . I cant claim i would do that in the moment. I dont think i could have. To his credit, he tried to he was vamping, i think. Hoping that somebody from offstage was going to help him. Hes out there, dangling by himself. And he knows something is wrong. But no one has told him how to handle the situation. How terrific did he and faye dunaway look . Fantastic. All the things we would be talking about this morning, which we will, Justin Timberlake and the dancing and the performances and the speeches. Thats all anybody is talk about is this. How about the job jimmy kimmel did . He was fantastic. He was incredible host, the entire night. It was a bit unfair. He was trying to diffuse it and saying, i knew i would screw it up. I promise i will never host again. And being selfdeprecating and take the attention off what happened. But i thought he did a phenomenal job all night long. Walked the line very well. When he brought the tour group they surprised. They had no idea they were going to end up front and center at the oscars. Take a look. [ applause ] hello there. This is Nicole Kidman. Discovered in Redondo Beach at a qu quiznos. I pronounce you husband and wife. Gary was trending on twitter. Gary from chicago. Lets be honest. Its normally not that exciting a tour. Just got a whole lot more exciting for those folks. Look at their faces. Meryl streep i think its a great honor. How many people do you want p t kissing your hand . Jennifer aniston didnt want to give up the glasses. Those are my favorite pair of glasses. You can tell. Those are some nice glasses. Oh, yeah. Once you get called out on national television, you got to give them up. She will send you another pair. How about the music . It was fantastic. Justin timberlake to me, kicking off the entire show. He set the mood. He was fun. He set the energy. And the way it was directed, too. Walking through with the whole crowd and getting everybody into it. They did this when happy, but it was in the middle of the show. Everybody was up and dancing. A great way to kick it off. And the actress from moana. She was terrific. She was to me, fantastic. You have seasoned actors and actresses there. Its great when somebody new comes along and gets their moment. She met the moment. Gorgeous girl. And john legend, my goodness. The man has never sounded bad a day in his life. Killed it. Once again. Are you shining just for me he practiced more than ever for this one because it wasnt his song. Really . John legend, you have to practice . But he nailed it. He did. I defer to you. Do you . As far as fashion is concerned because i have no taste. The only thing i can say. You start to see the trends. You would know this. Do the stylests talk to each other and say, the trend is gold . T can pull off anything. You dont any you can do that . Lachey can pull it off. I wouldnt do it as good. If i walked out in that, it would be what an idiot. Not if you wore it with confidence. No. Al, you rocked it the first time around. The sad thing is, i didnt get to go to my senior prom. Wait, what . We need to get into this now. Are you serious . I couldnt get a date. I did make an extra 75 bucks working at atoz vending that night, my afterschool night. This is more of a tragedy than the best picture going south. I feel horrible. That wasnt the idea. Inside i cry for you. I think we need to have a today show progrm. Tweet us if you think we should have a today show prom. On the thing . I am predisco ball. I was. No. I graduated high school in 72. They had not done the disco ball yet. Just ahead dang.

Golden globe emmy and tony award winner, john lithgow is one of hollywoods most acclaimed actors, one that surprises us with his choice of roles. He played a serial killer on dexter. And played one of the great world leaders, Winston Churchill on the crown. Now, he plays in trial error and defends himself after his wife was murdered. An its a comedy. This is not the trial. This whole thing is absurd. I loved my wife. After lunch, i was waiting for the cable guy to show. So, i went into the yard to rollercise. You mean roller skate . No. Roller skate is for children. Rollercise is a very graceful form of selfexpression. Its much easier when youre not shackled. John lithgow, good morning to you. Youre laughing. Im delighted. Lets talk about this. Its a comedy. But your character is on trial for killing his wife. Thats right. I may or may not have murdered my wife. A bona fide comedy premise. And, yeah. Its a sendup of the jinx, making a murderer, the staircase. The creators of the show, jeff sastrof and matt miller, you turn one shift and thats what you got. Ive never heard of rollercising. Were you an avid roller skater before this role . Avid . I think i roller skated a bit about 50 years ago. Back when you had a skate key. I wont tell you if i had an opportunity rollerciser or not. You come off of this role that everybody is raving about in the crown. Thats just incredible. The transformation. Did you have any hesitation about taking on such an iconic character in history . Oh, yes. I was very excited. But very scared. All at the same time. Thats a good way to approach a job. I mean, i was acting with a hundred wonderful english actors. And i was absolutely the only american. Except the ones playing americans. And i just plunged in. They were incredibly welcoming. They made me feel more confident than i felt myself. And i just did lots and lots of work. Just immersed myself in his history and his physical life. Do you get a gut feeling that something is going to be i mean, the crown is huge. Its one of the things when i wanted to see it. I sat one afternoon and binge watched, as say theyd. Episode after episode. People love it. Its amazing. We knew we were doing something fine. We didnt realize it was going to be quite this popular. And then, go leaping into something completely and utterly different. Trial error. Yeah. You talk about a gut, about a role. You were offered the role is it true you were offered the role of frasier on cheers and you turned it down . Sadly, yes. On the other hand, if i had played frasier, it never would have been a huge hill. I defer to kelsey. He is frasier. I did appear as one of the voices. The callin voices. And kelsey and i played william f. Buckley and gore vidal, the voices. Best of enemies a wonderful documentary a couple years ago. And talk about dexter. We were coming down the stairs and, nick, you mentioned how much you love it. My favorite season, when you play the serial killer. I try to mix it up. And in this case, i just spent the entire fall laughing my head off. This wonderful cast of factors. Nick deaugusto and sherri shepherd. And steve who played the fool when i played king leer. A wonderful experience. Youve done stage and features and television. That do they all work different muscles as an actor . Do you have a favorite . I grew up in a theater family. And the first onethird was almost all new york broadway theater. Thats kind of my tap root. And talk about using all your muscles, thats the one that requires all of your muscles. John lithgow, you are fantastic. Its a delight to meet you. Thank you. Wait until you see this comedy. Trial error, it premieres tuesday, march 14th, here on nbc. Thats right.

This week our today food team wants you to make the perfect pasta for dinner. We called in eric bren wits. The executive chef of the tupelo cafe. He will show you how to whip up dishes that will seem like you spent hours in the kitchen. This is a mushroom valute. We roast mushrooms and salt and pepper. Throw them in the oven. By the magic of television how long and how high . 35 minutes at 350 degrees. You are trying to get the water out and caramelize them. If you want to start a rue. Butter and flour equal parts. Its a classic way to make a valute, which is just vegetable stock or a stockaded to a thickening agent. Any technique . No technique. Then, add the garlic to the rue. And straight in about 30 seconds with that. And then, in with the vegetable stock. And what you come out with is a thickened, beautiful vegetable stock. And then, we take the mushrooms and throw them in here. And hand blend them. And make them a little on the chunky side. Here we go. Hey, now. Its fighting back. Oh, my god. Going in. Taking longer than i thought. Okay. I dont know what im going to do. Mushrooms are tougher. Imagine if you will. Imagine that it blended fully. We have two different pastas. You already tocooked the. Are those larger than rigatoni . The other pasta is much larger. So, were going to toss this up with a little arugula. And finish it with some aged gouda cheese, which is one of my favorite things in the world, to take a classic pasta dish and use something a little different. I like the mushrooms in there. Not so bad. Lets head out front. We have a second one. That was a superquick and easy one. This is pacri. That cooks up more than your rigato rigatoni. Im from a restaurant in the south. We use country ham more than prosciutto. Were going to saute up garlic. No whisking for me . You can shake. Saute the onions and the garlic. You want it tran lucent . You want to take the onions to translucent. And you want color on the country ham. And can i stir . In the meantime, you get the sauce going. Super easy, all you do is add herbs and a little bit of cream. Herbs and a little bit of cream. Is it like an alfredo . It is an alfredo. The cream is supposed to be a light accent to it. And it actually will thicken the pasta with the addition of a little cheese. We take this pacckri here. This is heaven on a plate. Thank you. This whole process can take about five minutes. Knees are cooked already . Cooked already. What are these . Theyre pacckari. Theyre large, unribbed, tubular pasta. You can use rigatoni. You can use penne. Thats good. Unbelievable. So good. Try the mushroom one. Im sure theres a better name. Eric, thank you so much. This is fantastic. Get the recipes. Today. Com food. Were back in a moment. First, this is today on nbc. More chees eric.
