HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT? AND DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH COULD MAKE HISTORY OF HER OWN WITH HER FIRST NOMINATION. DID BRADLEY COOPER PULL OUR HEARTSTRINGS? AND, MAESTRO, SHE CAN BE THE FIRST. GREAT AMERICAN CONDUCTOR. AND WILL AMERICAN ELECTION FOR THE GOLD SOMETHING THAT WOULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE? IT’S TIME TO MAKE AN ENTRANCE. >> WE’RE JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM WHO’S UP FOR THE
MOST COVETED PRIZE IN HOLLYWOOD. IT’S OSCARS NOMINATION DAY AND WHAT YEAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE MOVIES. SO MANY OF THEM OUT THERE, BUT ONLY TEN WILL
HAVE TO GET PUSHED BACK BECAUSE OF THE WRITERS AND ACTORS STRIKES. THE AWARDS ARE SET FOR SUNDAY MARCH 10TH, RIGHT THERE AT THE HISTORIC DOLBY THEATER. AND JUST TODAY, JUST WITH THE NOMINATIONS, IT COULD BE A HISTORIC MORNING AT THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN THEATER IN BEVERLY HILLS. LET’S GO THERE RIGHT NOW AND CHECK IN WITH ABC’S WILL REEVE. HE IS DOWN THERE FOR US BRIGHT EARLY THIS MORNING, LOOKING FABULOUS IN THAT TUXEDO. WELL, THANKS FOR BEING HERE, I KNOW THAT THE EXCITEMENT IS BOILING. SET THE SCENE FOR US. >> YEAH. GOOD MORNING, DANA. I DID DECIDE
TO THROW ON THE TUX. IT IS THE OSCARS, AFTER ALL. AND THIS IS WHERE IT ALL KICKS OFF THE NOMINATIONS. THE ROOM AT THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN THEATER IS FILLING UP. THE BUZZ IS PALPABLE. WE’RE ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE FIRST BATCH OF NOMINATIONS BEING RELEASED EVERYONE IS VERY EXCITED. THERE’S A LOT OF PREDICTIONS THAT I THINK WILL COME TRUE AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF SURPRISES IN STORE. AND THAT IS WHY EVERYONE SHOWS UP HERE AND TUNES IN AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE IF THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES AND THE BIGGEST STARS GOT THOSE NOMINATIONS OR IF
THESE SURPRISES COME IN. >> YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LOVE A GOOD SURPRISE, I HAVE TO SAY. WELL, IS THERE ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU’RE WATCHING OUT FOR TODAY? WELL I THINK THE BIG ONES, OPPENHEIMER BARBIE KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, POOR THINGS, THOSE ARE THE THE EXPERTS PREDICT WILL GARNER, YOU KNOW, DOUBLE DIGIT NOMINATIONS. >> THAT HASN’T HAPPENED. >> THAT MANY MOVIES GETTING DOUBLE DIGIT NOMINATIONS IN SOME YEARS. THOSE ARE THE BIG ONES. THOSE SHOULD TAKE ALL THE MAJOR CATEGORIES. BEST PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR, THOSE ARE ALMOST LOCKS. NOTHING IS GUARANTEED HERE. BUT
DOES IF YOU GO BASED ON THE OTHER AWARDS CEREMONIES DURING THIS SEASON, THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN HAVING THE MOST SUCCESS NETFLIX HAS LED OR IS LIKELY TO LEAD WITH THE MOST THE MOST NOMINATIONS. THE BIG ONE I’M LOOKING OUT FOR IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MAESTRO. THAT’S BRADLEY COOPER’S MAGNUM OPUS. >> HE WROTE, DIRECTED AND STARS IN IT. THIS IS HIS LIFE’S WORK, AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE IF HE ENDS UP GETTING THE NOMINATIONS THAT HE IS CERTAINLY HOPING FOR. AMERICAN FICTION IS A BIG ONE. RUSTIN COLMAN DOMINGO GOING TO GET A BIG NOMINATION. HOW ABOUT
PAUL GIAMATTI? DOMINIC SESSA IN IN THEIR FILM THE HOLDOVERS. THERE’S A WHOLE BUNCH OF PREDICTIONS THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE, BUT WE MIGHT AS WELL WAIT JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. >> WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT. MIGHT AS WELL AWAIT THE GOOD OF A LIFETIME. BUT I’M WITH YOU THERE ON HOLDOVERS, BY THE WAY. I’M REALLY TO SEE HOW IT DOES WILL REEVE AT THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN THEATER IN BEVERLY HILLS. WELL, THANK SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AND NOW I WANT TO BRING IN OUR PANEL OR NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST
MIKE MUSE. >> ALSO LOOKING FABULOUS AND SENIOR AWARDS THAT ARE A VARIETY CLAYTON DAVIS ON SET WITH ME HERE IN LOS ANGELES. AND THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS WEARING YOUR HAT. I WOULD HAVE DEVASTATED HAD YOU NOT ONCE HAD A LOOK. YOU HAD THE ASTRONAUTS ALL CELEBRATED. AND MY KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT. >> SO ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN REALLY INTERESTING, I THINK THIS YEAR IS THE RECORD BREAKING SUMMER THAT WE SAW AT THE BOX OFFICE. WE HAVEN’T SEEN A SUMMER LIKE THAT IN QUITE TIME WITH THE WHOLE BARBENHEIMER CRAZE. SO A LOT OF GENERAL PEOPLE
AT THE ACADEMY ARE PRETTY KEYED IN, AT LEAST ON BARBIE AND OPPENHEIMER. >> LISTEN, IT’S BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE TITANIC, AS WE REMEMBER, AND EVERYONE WAS INVESTED. THAT WAS THE HIGHEST RATED CEREMONY IN OSCARS HISTORY. TWICE IN THE THEATER. AND I SAW IT LIKE I THINK 40 TIMES WITH THAT WITH SISTERS AND EVERYONE ELSE. RIGHT. >> BUT THIS YEAR, THE THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS SO INVESTED IN WHAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING BECAUSE BARBENHEIMER WAS HUGE. IT’S BEEN EXACTLY 20 YEARS SINCE THE HIGHEST GROSSING FILM OF THE YEAR WON BEST PICTURE OR THE RINGS RETURN OF THE KING.
>> SO BARBIE, NOT CONVENTIONAL OSCAR FODDER, BUT IT IS WELL-LIKED OUT THERE. I’M INTERESTED TO SEE IF WE GET THE BEST DIRECTOR NOMINATION TODAY. >> NO, I KNOW. YOU KNOW, IT’S AJARA IT’S SOMETHING THAT’S DIFFERENT . BUT THIS ACADEMY IS NEW, HIP, A LITTLE COOLER. THEY DID EVERYTHING. WE’RE AT ONCE. AND THAT HAD, YOU KNOW, WINE AND STUFF. SO FLYING BUTTONS FLYING BY AND WITH FLYING. BUT LET’S GO STRAIGHT TO MIAMI. MIKE, WHAT? AND MIKE, I FEEL LIKE YOU’RE SITTING THERE ALL DRESSED UP WONDERING, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AMERICAN PICTURE? YOU’RE RIGHT
IN MY MIND, AS ALWAYS, AMERICAN FICTION IS MY FILM OF THE SEASON. IT WAS ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED FILMS TO SEE BEFORE IT CAME OUT, AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT THE WAY THAT CORD JEFFERSON DIRECTED THIS FILM, THE WAY THAT HE WROTE THE ADAPTED SCREENPLAY, THE SATIRICAL NATURE OF IT, AND HOLDS A MIRROR UP TO SOCIETY, MAKES US QUESTION THE THINGS THAT WE LOVE AND ENJOY AND THE THINGS THAT WE SEE AS COMMERCIAL AND THAT COMMERCIAL. THAT IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT FILMS . FILMS HOLDS UP A MIRROR TO SOCIETY AND PULLS BACK THE
SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. AND THEN THE PACING OF HIS DIRECTORIAL DEBUT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND THE WAY THAT HE DIRECTED SUCH FANTASTIC ACTORS JEFFREY WRIGHT. I MEAN, COME ON, HE IS WHERE THE MOST PREEMINENT ACTORS OF OUR TIME, AND HE DELIVERED A MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE THAT I AM WATCHING RIGHT NOW. STERLING K BROWN IS IF HE CAN DELIVER, A BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR. HIS TURN IN THIS MOVIE WAS ON HBO. AND WE KNOW IF I BY TYLER PLAYED THAT CHARACTER AND IT WAS LANGUAGE. BUT THERE IS A GUY THAT CAN EVEN THE MORNING MARLON BRANDO COULD SEE IT NOT
LIKE SOMEBODY DYING ON THE TOILET. >> REALLY? AMERICAN FICTION. THAT’S MY MOVIE. YOU AND I DON’T THINK THAT YOU’RE ALONE IN THAT OPINION THERE. BUT ALSO, LET’S HAVE IT QUICKLY ABOUT KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON HERE. WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE HISTORY MADE JUST IN A NOMINATION HERE. LILY GLADSTONE COULD MAKE HISTORY. IF SHE GETS NOMINATED TODAY, SHE’D BE THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN NOMINATED AND BEST ACTRESS CATEGORY FOR THE OSCARS. AND REALLY AT THIS POINT, SHE IS VIEWED AS A LIKELY WINNER BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH EMMA STONE MAKING A LATE PUSH. >> YEAH, I
MEAN, THIS ALWAYS OPENS UP THE DEBATE OVER, YOU KNOW, AMAZON’S LIVE PERFORMANCES SHE’S EVER GIVEN IN POOR THINGS SHE’S INCREDIBLE IN IT AND SENDING EXCELLENTLY GLADSTONE IS GOING TO BE ON WHETHER LILY GLADSTONE SHOULD HAVE WENT SUPPORTING VERSUS THERE IS AN HOUR DIFFERENCE OF SCREEN TIME BETWEEN HER AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO IN THIS THREE HOUR 29 MINUTE EPIC FROM MARTIN SCORSESE. SO NOW THEY’RE BATTLING RIGHT NOW AND THEN THIS IS OUR, YOU KNOW, SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE SUPER BOWL, IMPORTANT FOR OSCARS AND SAG IS THE NEXT ONE UP. WE’LL SEE IF LILY CAN ACTUALLY PULL
THAT ONE OUT OR EMMA BEATS HER THERE. ACTUALLY, SHE DID AT THE CRITICS CHOICE. IT’S GOING TO BE A CLOSE RACE, BUT I’M JUST EXCITED TO SEE THESE TWO POWERHOUSES GO UP AGAINST EACH OTHER. >> IT’S A GREAT YEAR. ABSOLUTELY. AND ALSO, YEAH, I AGREE WITH CLAYTON BREWER. THIS DESCRIBES THE END. SO I’M FASCINATED ABOUT THIS BATTLE BETWEEN LILY GLADSTONE AND EMMA STONE WHEN LILY’S PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, THE RESTRAINT THAT SHE HAD AND TO CARRY THAT TENSION FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS OR MORE WAS FINE. EMMA STONE I LOVE THE PHYSICAL ACTING THAT
SHE HAD AND THAT IS WHEN YOU PUT THESE TWO IN CONVERSATION. WHAT MAKES THEM BOTH PERFORMANCES SO THEY’RE BOTH SO POWERFUL TO DELIVER A RESTRAINED PERFORMANCE IS VERY CHALLENGING. IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO HOLD THAT EMOTION KNOW DRAW AS WELL AS KEEPING UP THE PHYSICAL DYNAMIC PACE OF EMMA STONE IS ALSO CHALLENGING, WHICH IS WHY I’M INTRIGUED TO SEE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THAT BUILDING. THE ACADEMY LOVES A PHYSICAL ACTING AND HER PERFORMANCE THAT WAS FANTASTIC AND VERY PHYSICAL DEMANDING, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THE ACADEMY LOVES. >> BUT THOSE TWO, EMMA AND LILY, TWO SEPARATE
PERFORMANCES, BUT BOTH EQUALLY MASTERFUL. >> AND THAT’LL BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THE ACADEMY COMES OUT ON THAT. AND LET’S ALSO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER HISTORIC FIRST YEAR THAT WE CAN SEE, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF WOMEN. AND WHEN IT COMES TO DIRECTING, WE COULD SEE SEVERAL WOMEN WITH THESE NEXT BEST PICTURE NOMINATIONS, RIGHT? >> YES. SO WE HAVE THREE MOVIES DIRECTED BY WOMEN IN CONTENTION THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE NOMINATED TODAY AS ONLY PAST LIVES, ANATOMY OF A BALL AND BARBIE, THE MOST TO EVER HAVE EVER BEEN NOMINATED, ARE TWO. AND WE MAY HAVE ACTUALLY
THREE. THIS YEAR AND LISTEN MAYBE A FOURTH BECAUSE SALTBURN HAS BEEN NOMINATED HOT COMING IN HOT, NO PUN INTENDED, BUT IT IS REALLY BEEN HAVING THIS SURGE. AND WHAT I’VE LEARNED BY TALKING TO VOTERS, AS MUCH AS WE LOVE THAT THEY LOVE MOVIES, THEY ALSO DON’T WATCH A LOT OF MOVIES. AND I KNOW SALTBURN HAS GENERATED CURIOSITY AND PEOPLE HAVE WANTED TO SEE IT. IT GENERATES A VISCERAL REACTION ON BOTH SIDES. AND SO BEING DIVISIVE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND IN THIS RACE. SO I’M WATCHING OUT FOR THAT TO POP UP IN A FEW CATEGORIES TODAY.
I MEAN, EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT SALTBURN THAT I TALKED TO. AND MIKE, WHAT ABOUT THIS LEAD ACTOR CONVERSATION HERE? LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT. WHO ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN LEAD ACTOR? LEAD ACTOR JEFFREY WRIGHT. I JUST WANT JEFFREY WRIGHT TO BE IN THERE. I WANT JEFFREY WRIGHT TO HAVE AN INCREDIBLE MORNING. HE WAKES UP MAYBE IF HE WAKES UP IN L.A. OR THE HOLLYWOOD AMAZON TO LOOK AT BRADLEY COOPER. BRADLEY COOPER DELIVERED A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE IN MY STROBE. I THOUGHT THE WAY THAT HE HELD THAT CHARACTER WAS SUPERB. AND SO THOSE ARE
MY TOP TWO, AND I THINK THOSE HAVE TO HAVE IT ON A LARK AS WELL. AND CLAYTON, WHAT ABOUT YOU IN THE LEAD ACTOR ROLE? YOU KNOW, YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS. I THINK THAT LEO DESERVES A NOMINATION I WAS LIKE, I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL TODAY. >> YOU DISAGREE. >> IT’S ABOUT WHO WE WANT TO WIN, BUT WHO WILL RIGHT. >> AND LISTEN, MAYBE TO THAT QUOTE. I’LL TAKE THAT. I CAN GO WITH THE ONE SO YOU CAN GO WITH THE WORLD LEADER. >> DICAPRIO THIS IS, I THINK WHERE WE ARE WITH
LEO NOW IS THAT HE WE’RE NOT COMPARING HIM TO OTHER IN THE YEAR. WE’RE COMPARING HIM TO LEONARDO DICAPRIO PERFORMANCES. HE’S BEEN GREAT IN ALMOST EVERYTHING HE’S TOUCHED. SO IT IS HARD TO BE LEONARDO DICAPRIO. DELIVER PROBABLY ONE OF YOUR BEST PERFORMANCES OF YOUR CAREER. I THINK SOME PEOPLE TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED AND THEY LOOK AT HIM AND THEY GO, OH, YES, LEO, OF COURSE HE’S GREAT ALL THE TIME. BUT WHAT HE DOES AND KILLS THE FLOWER MOON IS THE FIRST OF ALL, HE PLAYS A BUFFOON, WHICH YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIM DO BEFORE. YEAH, AND
HE IS SUCH A PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE THAT PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW DIFFICULT IT FOR HIM TO BE DOING WHAT HE’S DOING AND BELIEVE OR NOT REALLY FUNNY IN THE MOVIE AS WELL. I DON’T KNOW HOW IT IS, BUT IT IS A GREAT HOWEVER, THERE’S JUST LOUDER BIOPIC PERFORMANCES. YOU HAVE COLMAN DOMINGO AND BRUST IN THERE, BRADLEY COOPER AND MAESTRO, EACH OF THEM VERY, VERY TIGHTLY, MORE INTERESTING. >> AND NOW WE’RE GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE NOMINATIONS. LET’S LISTEN IN. WALKING AROUND THE WORLD, GOOD AFTERNOON AND GOOD EVENING . WELCOME TO ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING

IT’S XM RADIO’S MAKE NEWS IS NOT AT ALL EXCITED AND SENIOR AWARDS FARAI CLAYTON DAVIS WOW OKAY LET’S START WHERE THEY ENDED AND LET’S START
WITH AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE. I SAID YESTERDAY THAT IF A MONOLOGUE AND A SPEECH CAN GET YOU IN THIS NOMINATION, FERRERA IS IN THE LATINOS ARE AT THE OSCARS. >> IT’S A GOOD WORLD TO LIVE IN. I’M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW. AMERICA FERRERA LISTEN, SHE’S STILL THE ONLY LATINA EVER TO WIN LEAD ACTRESS COMEDY AT THE EMMYS FOR UGLY BETTY, WHICH WAS 25 YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS AGO. >> AND HER GETTING IN FOR BARBIE, FIRST OF ALL, SHOWS THE STRENGTH OF BARBIE MIGHT DO REALLY WELL TODAY. AND SECONDLY, IT’S JUST AMAZING PERFORMANCE THAT
REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE YEARS SHE HAD. SHE WAS ALSO IN DUMB MONEY. IT’S JUST IT’S AN INCREDIBLE FEAT. AND DANIELLE BROOKS GETTING IN FOR THE COLOR PURPLE. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER. I OUT YESTERDAY I WAS AND I THINK SHE IS I WANTED HER IN THERE SO BAD. I THINK SHE’S SO GOOD IN IT. BUT THE MOVIE CAME OUT REALLY LATE AND IT’S HARD TO DO THAT THAT EARLY IN THE SEASON. AND SHE’S THERE ALONGSIDE JODIE FOSTER, A TWO TIME WINNER, DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH AND EMILY BLUNT. HER FIRST NOMINATION THIS YEAR FOR OPPENHEIMER. THIS IS A
KILLER LINEUP. ABSOLUTELY. AND RIGHT. LET’S TAKE THAT HERE. YOU KNOW, WE WERE DISCUSSING YESTERDAY THAT DANIELLE BROOKS MIGHT NOT MAKE IT INTO THIS CATEGORY AND NOW POTENTIALLY COULD ONE OF THE ONLY NOMINATIONS FOR THE COLOR PURPLE? >> YEAH, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING CATEGORIES SO FAR. I THINK AFTER THE BOTH OF YOU, I THOUGHT AMERICAN HORROR WAS ON THE BUBBLE. SO WHEN SHE GOT ANNOUNCED, I WAS SO EXCITED THAT SHE GOT IN THERE. I KNEW DANIELLE BROOKS WOULD GET NOMINATED BECAUSE DANIELLE BROOKS IS A DARLING OF THE BROADWAY SCENE IN THE BROADWAY COMMUNITY.
THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF OVERLAP IN THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND TYPE OF MEMBERS THAT ARE ALSO TOO WITHIN THE ACADEMY. AND SO THE FACT THAT SHE GOT IN, THERE’S AMAZING DIVIDE. JOY, DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH, THIS IS HER YEAR IT’S HERS THAT NEW TO TAKE. THIS WAS A VERY STRONG CATEGORY. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. >> AND LET’S TALK QUICKLY ABOUT ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE BECAUSE MARK RUFFALO GOT IN AND I THINK THAT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE HE WAS ON THE BUBBLE AND HE GOT AND AS I LOOK AT YOUR LIST HERE,
WELL, I’M TOO FAR LEFT. >> SO HERE HERE’S THE THING. THE FOUR THINGS POINTS SEEM TO BE SPLITTING VOTES. THAT’S WHAT I WAS ASSESSING. BUT WE GET MARK RUFFALO HIS FOURTH NOMINATION. SO I THINK BROWN IS THERE, BUT WE HAVE A SURPRISE AMONG THESE THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON WON WISCONSIN. AND THAT’S RIGHT. BARBIE WAS A LATE ADD TO THAT CATEGORY AND IT PUSHED IT OUT. AND JOHN OF INTEREST IS IN THERE, WHICH THAT TELLS ME SORT OF INTEREST GETTING IN BEST PICTURE GOING TO HAVE MAYBE 2 TO 3
NON ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOVIES THIS YEAR WOULD BE AWESOME. >> A FANTASTIC YEAR. AND MIKE, DO YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON HERE? KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON BEING LEFT OUT OF ADAPTED SCREENPLAY. >> I’M NOT THAT SURPRISED. THAT WAS A VERY STRONG CATEGORY. I KNOW WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME, BUT I’M SO EXCITED FOR AMERICAN FICTION THAT GOT IN THERE FOR ADAPTED SCREENPLAY . WE’RE EXCITED FOR THAT ONE. THAT CATEGORY, LIKE YOU SAID, WILLIAM DAFOE, THAT WAS A BIG UPSET FOR ME. I THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD GET IT OVER. MARK RUFFALO I THINK THE STRONG
PERFORMANCE WAS JUST A GOOD NOTE ABOUT COSTUME. I KNOW WE’RE EXCITED CATEGORY FOR EVERYONE, BUT I’M EXCITED. WHEN I WAS WATCHING THAT, I WAS LIKE, I WANT THAT SHIRT, THAT SUIT, THAT SPORT JACKET, AND ALSO TO GO FOR MAKEUP, GIVE IT TO THE MAKEUP ARTIST MAN FOR THINGS TO DO AS WELL. I THINK THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE ON THE STATUE FOR THAT. THEY MIGHT DROP BY HOLLYWOOD. ALL RIGHT. LET’S GO BACK TO BEVERLY HILLS. WELCOME BACK LINE. WELCOME BACK, GUYS.

WATCH THE OSCARS LIVE WITH HOST JIMMY KIMMEL ON SUNDAY, MARCH TEN. THIS YEAR, THE SHOW WILL START A NEW
TIME BEGINNING ONE HOUR EARLIER AT 7 P.M. EASTERN AND 4 P.M. PACIFIC ON ABC. WE FORWARD TO CELEBRATING WITH YOU. ALL RIGHT. OF ALL THE THINGS THAT CLAYTON IS THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT THAT WE JUST HEARD, HE’S THE MOST EXCITED THAT IS GOING TO START A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. >> SO HAPPY DAY. ALL RIGHT. THERE’S A LOT TO BREAK DOWN. FIRST, LET’S TALK ABOUT BARBIE, WHERE IT WAS NOT. >> NO, MARGOT ROBBIE. NO, GRETA GERWIG, TWO HUGE MISSES. LISTEN TO GERWIG SNUB. UNFORTUNATELY, I SAW IT COMING AGAIN. >> IT’S — IT’S DUE TO GENRE BIAS.
IT’S COMEDY. >> AND A FEW ACADEMY MEMBERS HAVE TOLD ME SOME VARIATION OF THIS SENTENCE. AT THE END OF DAY, IT’S STILL JUST BARBIE. I THINK PEOPLE JUST SAW IT. IT’S JUST LIKE A FANTASY COMEDY THAT THEY CELEBRATED THE BOX OFFICE OF IT, BUT IT JUST DIDN’T CATCH ON WITH THE ACADEMY. >> BUT THEY DID GO FOR A WOMAN IN THAT CATEGORY. JUSTINE SRIDHAR FROM ANATOMY OF A FALL. HUGE NOMINATION FOR THAT MOVIE. AND WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT THAT ALSO IT WASN’T SELECTED FOR FRANCE FOR REPRESENTED IN INTERNATIONAL FEATURE OF FRENCH MOVIE. THEY DID SELECT HEAPS
OF THINGS GOT TODAY. SO FRANCE IS NOT LOOKING GOOD RIGHT NOW FOR CHOOSING THE WRONG MOVIE. AND ANY OF FOUR WON THE PALME D’OR AT THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL AND THIS IS HUGE. >> SO IT HAD A REALLY GOOD DAY TODAY. YES. BY THE WAY, ANNOUNCED THE BEST PICTURE NOMINATIONS IN CLINTON’S ACTUAL ORDER. AND HE WAS SPOT ON WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE NIGHT. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN HERE ON ANNETTE BENING, MAKING IT IN. FROM THAT, I KNEW IT. I KNEW WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEING HER PERFORMANCE,
THAT PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE THE ACADEMY LOVES THAT PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE. WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED HER FIRST, I SAID THERE IS GOING TO BE UPSET. SOMEONE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. I KNEW WAS GOING TO BE MARGOT ROBBIE. I JUST DIDN’T THINK THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO BRING IT HOME FOR AN OSCAR NOMINATION FOR THAT PERFORMANCE, ALTHOUGH SHE DID A REALLY GREAT TURN, AS CLAYTON JUST MENTIONED, THE GENRE BIAS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ONE. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT THE ACADEMY CANNOT DO THAT TO ME AGAIN, HOLDING OUT FOR JEFFREY WRIGHT TO GET THE LAST LAUGH,
I WOULD NOT BE LIKE, DON’T DO THIS TO ME. AND THEY IT I’M SO HAPPY FOR JEFFREY WRIGHT. BUT I KNEW I WASN’T I DIDN’T I THOUGHT LEONARDO DICAPRIO WAS ACTUALLY ON THE BUBBLE ONCE THEY SAID COLMAN DOMINGO, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BE ON THE BUBBLE. ONCE HE CAME IN, I KNEW LEONARDO GOING TO BE OUT. I THINK THAT’S A VERY STRONG CATEGORY. I ALSO CHU HEARD FOUR THINGS COME UP A LOT FOR THINGS THAT ARE REALLY GREAT MOURNING RIGHT NOW. IT WAS A NOMINATION THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON, BUT REALLY MY CATEGORY
WAS GOING TO BE REALLY CONTESTED AS BEST ACTRESS. THAT IS GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT CATEGORY. BUT BEST ACTOR, I THINK THE RACE COMES DOWN BETWEEN JEFFREY WRIGHT AND PAUL GIAMATTI. PAUL GIAMATTI DELIVER IT. FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE IN THE HOLD OVERS. IT WAS, BUT YET IT WAS COMPLEX. IT WAS LAYERED. HE SHOWED GREAT THOUGHT RESTRAINT. THIS I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR HIM. I THINK IS GOING TO HAVE A REALLY GREAT OSCAR NIGHT AS WELL. I DO TOO, AND I LIKE THAT MOVIE, BUT I ALSO DON’T WANT TO LOOK OVERLOOK KELLY AND MURPHY. >> KELLY MURPHY GOT
HIS FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION. YOU KNOW, IT’S FUNNY. I FEEL LIKE THERE’S THIS KELLY MURPHY AS THE STAR DICAPRIO, IT SEEMS THAT HE HAD FOR A LONG TIME. >> HE LOOK 25 FOR LAST 25 YEARS AND HE’S 47 YEARS OLD. HE’S ACTUALLY VERY GROWN. BUT WHAT’S ACTUALLY INTERESTING HERE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO NOTE, I THINK WE HAVE FOUR MOVIES THAT CRACKED DOUBLE DIGITS IN NOMINEES. YOU’VE GOT TEN OR MORE. AND THAT IS THE SECOND TIME THAT’S HAPPENED IN OSCAR HISTORY. THE FIRST ONE WAS IN 2019 WITH 1917, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, JOKER AND THOSE
MOVIES IS LOST. BEST PICTURE TO PARASITE THEN ONLY HAD SIX. >> YEAH, THE FIRST NON ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOVIE SO IS A VERY INTERESTING ECLECTIC LINEUP FROM THE FROM THE ACADEMY AND I LOVE THIS AMERICAN FICTION SUPPORT GROUP WE HAVE GOING ON HERE. IT’S A IT’S MY FAVORITE FILM OF THE YEAR SO I’M JUST HAPPY JEFFREY WRIGHT AND COLMAN DOMINGO, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME IN OSCAR HISTORY TWO BLACK ACTORS HAVE MADE IT INTO THE BEST ACTOR LINEUP THAT DIDN’T INCLUDE WILL SMITH OR DENZEL WASHINGTON. >> OH, WOW AND WE ACTUALLY
HAVE THE NUMBERS HERE FOR YOU. AND TO YOUR POINT, OPPENHEIMER COMING IN WITH OVERALL POOR THINGS, WITH 11 OVERALL KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON WITH TEN OVERALL. AND BARBIE, I MEAN, WHILE HE’S MISSING OUT ON A FEW OF THOSE KEY CATEGORIES. SO COMING IN HERE WITH EIGHT, I THINK ALL EYES ARE GOING TO BE ON HIM FOR THAT. SO IT DIDN’T CRACK DOUBLE DIGITS, BUT STILL GOT EIGHT. AND WE CAN’T GO WITHOUT POINTING OUT THIS LITTLE WIN HERE FOR THIS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE FRANCHISE. >> GETTING THEIR NOMINATIONS AFTER THAT WAS. A SHOCK FOR ME BECAUSE THAT
FRANCHISE HAS BEEN PASSED OVER FOR YEARS. AND I MEAN, THE FIRST ONE CAME OUT IN 1995, HAS NEVER RECEIVED AN OSCAR NOMINATION. THEY GOT TWO THIS YEAR. SO LEFT OVER TOM CRUISE LEFT FROM GUN MAVERICK, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT DID VERY WELL TODAY. AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO NOTE ANNETTE BENING GETTING IN AT SANDRA HULLER WAS THAT WAS THE SIGN FOR ME IN THAT CATEGORY THAT SOMEONE BIG MUSIC CANNOT BELIEVE MARGOT ROBBIE, BUT SHE’S NOMINATED FOR BEST AS A PRODUCER FOR BARBIE AND REALLY GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY. MAESTRO, I THAT ONE WAS SHOT SO BEAUTIFULLY FRAMED FOR
FRAME. I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE THE TAKE HOME OF OSCAR NIGHT IS MY SHORT FOR BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY SHORT AND MY SHORT CAN WIN IN SOUND AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SERIOUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MYERS AND OUR SENIOR AWARD THAT ARE AT “VARIETY” CLAYTON DAVIS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WHAT A FUN MORNING THIS ONE AND THAT DOES IT FOR THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE 96TH ACADEMY AWARDS. BE SURE TO CATCH THE OSCARS LIVE SUNDAY, MARCH 10TH, AT 7 P.M. EASTERN AND 4 P.M. PACIFIC ON ABC.
