When she does this with her red carpet redos. Always has great ideas. If you know somebody who has been sick with the flu and people have been dropping like flies, well tell you why it seems to be so bad this year plus what to worry about. And allergy season. We have a big day. Weve never done this before. In honor of leap day. You guys asked us before why are our talks so short, why cant we have more. We have commercials. We cant. We have to throw to commercial breaks to make money. Possible pay some bills. But not today. At least not in the first 20 minutes. Folks in our kitchen are taking that. They are from American Express. Hey. My card was burning over the weekend. I have to order some more outdoor furniture. Kahching. They have bought the three minute commercial break so we get to continue to talk live on air. You know how we have our chat . Its going to be longer and then usually theres a commercial. And then we have to go. Well say hell be right back. Youll watch it in the commercial break. Watch them move our tables, spill our drinks, do what we do as we prepare. No potty break for hoda. So we get more out of life meaning hoda and i. We love buzz feed. They are so funny. They listed some of the ways we can get more out of the life. Here they are. Including these things. Embracing the best meal of the day. Wine. Summoning tissues to the gods. Nope jerry is not there. Usually they come down. Doesnt always work. Fall to dance and get grooving. I like that. Looking up to the gods for thank you. Timing in show business is a new thing here. Thank you, my barreling. Special cocktails for leap year. This was invented by the savoy hotel for leap year. They claim this cocktail is responsible for more proposals than any other drink. Taste it. It clears the sinuses big time. You should drink the whole thing because youre not feeling well. Clear those sinuses up, baby. Its kind of good. If you were watching the oscars last night by the way, the oscar ratings if you were wondering the early reports were way down. Last year was a bad year and this year they said preliminary number showed lower than last year. If im any indication of the type of people that were watching i turned it off after chris rock. All. I thought it was too much. Basically because the older i get, just everybody is angry. You know, i miss Billy Crystal so much or ellen degeneres, somebody who made it happy. I know they had to address the subject and did it in a fair minded way for sure. I thought he was funny. I thought he was funny and he managed to address all the different stuff that i thought was fair. He talked about how, you know, there werent any black actors or actresses nominated but also talked about why there are separate categories for women and men. But lets take a look at the monolog. Im here at the academy awards. Otherwise known as the white peoples choice awards. You realize if they nominated northwests i wouldnt even get getget get nominated host, i wouldnt get nominated. You need to have black categories. You already do it with men and women. Think about it. Theres no real reason for there to be a man and a woman category in acting. Come on. Theres no reason. Its not track and field. You dont have to separate them. Robert deniro has never said i better slow this acting down so even the concept of having black coordination then have asian categories too and every minority. You know what its got to be the best performances. People vote personally what they thought was the best performance. I think the argument too is just give more opportunity sos there can be more performances so you can choose, so people will have its fair. Theres been so much change in this business. Its going the right way. It may take longer than some people want. But ultimately i want the best person to win. The best performance to win. Everyone would agree with that. I dont think so. I do. I think they want the best performance. I feel a lot of times they were saying a lot of people dont have many opportunities to act in films because it doesnt fit this particular character so they dont have as many opportunities and when you dont have as many chances you dont have as much, chance to win. I dont know, hoda. Ive seen so much change. All for the better. Lets move on to shall we say oscar fashion. It was big. Yes. Okay. Dresses. Did you notice a trend . I saw a lot of bright colors. All for spring. You loved this one right here. I thought she was, talk about a breath of fresh air. She looked beautiful. Alicia vikander. Age appropriate. Shes young, fresh, brilliant. I just thought you know she wasnt trying to being a sex pot. She looked like she was a celebration. I like naomi watts. Shes a beautiful girl. I thought she looked great. Some people look great in everything. Shes one of them. She definitely did. And olivia munn. Looks like ralph lauren or calvin cline. Chrissy teigening looked hot. How about her husband. She was a little mermaid. Couldnt walk in it. Look how sweet. These are some out fits people are debating over. Carrie washington and heidi klum were on the not so hot list according to many. Carrie i love most all the time. This one not. It tooked too much she was going out as a warrior, you know. You didnt want to cuddle with it. I dont know what she was think, heidi. Maybe she a lot of fun at her prom in the 60s and just walking down memory lane. Bobbie will do that thing. Most beautiful women. Jimmy kimmel. Hes had this long running feud with actor matt damon.

So our friend and Entertainment WeeklySenior Writer tim sack is here with the juicy gossip. Thats pretty amazing. Good job. So youre here with all the juicy gossip. Lets get started with oscar moments. Some people were confused when at the oscars a girl named stacy dash from. Well, stacey dash is a personality, if you will. News. But shes an actress but said black History Month didnt need to be in existence, nor b. E. T. Because she thought that creates segregation. Chris rock brought her out as a joke this is the new ambassador of outreach for diverse attempt she came out and said i cant wait to help everyone. Did it fall flat . Yeah. I think it was odd because shes a very polarizing figure. Because, obviously, what she speaks of is cray cray. Not everybody thinks shes cray cray. Well im going to i still think shes cray cray. Okay. But i do love clueless. I thought people didnt understand i dont think people understood the joke. He was mistaking a joke and it did fall flat. Lets talk about leo decaprio. Who was gazing at him . Kate winslet. She was gazing at him. I was gazing at him too in my house. He won finally. Before, its been a 20 years wait for him. And he got up, i think everyone there was a standing ovation. It was just like, everyone loves him. And but kate winslet was very adoringly looking at him. Thats his titanic costar and great friend. There she is. Thats her husband but shes focused on leo. What did everyone think about sly stallone not getting i was bummed. I thought creed was incredible. But i think, mark rilands is a very acclaimed actor. Hes mostly known for stage work. But brilliant. Its a bummer because sly was overlooked years ago for rocky e. He was overlooked again. So was Steven Spielberg and tom hanks for the same movie. Thats what i mean, sometimes its not your year. I think it was a bad title bridge of spies that seems like a rickety bridge. Lets talk razzies. What was the worst of year . Theyre the huhawards that honor the worst for the year. 50 shades of grey was a big winner loser.

He said its only 8 00 in the morning and i won an award. Vanity fair she spilled. She is promoting a movie miracles from hefaven. She showed up looking hot which is the best revenge. I like that. Soups hot. I like to abbreviate things. Anyways she revealed she said a lot of reports have said that ben had an affair with the nanny e. She said they had separated months before. She said hes still the love of her life. They had three kids together and you cant go through that without loving each other. She doesnt regret marrying him. She said, you know, she was very honest but she said he also its complicated. Like when the hes like the sun, when the sun shines on you, its warm and wonderful. When the sun goes away its very cold.
