just finished producing the super bowl halftime event that was, and also he is presenting and producing the grammy awards, which happen next month. so there�*s a lot going on with the academy awards this year coming up, but i think they are going to have quite a challenge. but remember, because it�*s the pandemic, more people will be at home, so maybe, just maybe, they�*ll be able to increase the ratings with more people watching. i with more people watching. i wasjust going to with more people watching. i was just going to say with more people watching. i wasjust going to say — does was just going to say — does this pandemic present the academy with a great opportunity to reinvent itself in a way, make it more international, more diverse, less white, less la oriented and bring in more people? because the ratings have been falling, and it has been criticised, hasn�*t it, that it�*s too much of a tightknit club. it's too much of a tightknit club. �* , ,., , it's too much of a tightknit club. �* , , ., �* ~ ., club. absolutely. i don't know if ou club. absolutely. i don't know if you recall. _ club. absolutely. i don't know if you recall, but _ if you recall, but last year they had the lowest ratings, and i think they said in four orfive years — it

and i think they said in four or five years — it dips and i think they said in four orfive years — it dips more than 30%. so it�*s gotten really bad. the academy has just been wrestling with — how can we make people watch the academy awards? this may be the year they are able to do that, because you will have more people at home. you are right, they have the problem of diversity, but isn�*t that the problem every year? it�*s always #0scarssowhite — remember that? in 2024 they are going to require every picture that wants to be nominated in the best picture category — it has to meet two out of four categories, it has to be either diverse in terms of the camera work, behind the in how they present the film, and is another one that represents equitable representation, so they are really trying to push diversity. they�*ve also invited a lot more women and women of colour and people of colour in general. of course the academy is still predominantly white, predominantly male — we know

that. but they are really trying to push diversity and really trying to get people to understand that you don�*t have to sacrifice the quality of your filmmaking to sacrifice the quality of yourfilmmaking if to sacrifice the quality of your filmmaking if you are diversity — it�*s actually a bonus. diversity - it's actually a bonus. , , , . , bonus. very briefly, which is ffoin to bonus. very briefly, which is going to be _ bonus. very briefly, which is going to be the _ bonus. very briefly, which is going to be the movie i bonus. very briefly, which is going to be the movie we i bonus. very briefly, which is| going to be the movie we are all going to be talking about after these awards? {line all going to be talking about after these awards? one night in miami after these awards? one night in miami - _ after these awards? one night in miami - my. _ after these awards? one night in miami - my, oh, _ after these awards? one night in miami - my, oh, my. it's. in miami — my, oh, my. it�*s just such a wonderful film, it really is. just such a wonderful film, it reall is. ., ., ,, ., really is. good to talk to you. we'll talk _ really is. good to talk to you. we'll talk to _ really is. good to talk to you. we'll talk to you _ really is. good to talk to you. we'll talk to you soon, i'm i we�*ll talk to you soon, i�*m sure. the number is a small little—known australian marsupial, and it�*s one of the world�*s most endangered animals, but conservations are working to save them by building vast, predatorfree centuries. take a look.

we�*ll see more cloud working in from the south—west of england, wales and northern ireland. a few flurries of snow across the higher ground of the south—west of england. it�*s going to turn windy here, too, with gusts up to about 45 mph. elsewhere, the winds not as strong, a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine around on thursday, but not lifting those temperatures in a hurry, up to about 4 degrees in the warmest spots. and as we move through thursday night and on into friday, we�*ve got a bit more cloud across western parts of the uk, a few snow flurries around here as well, so temperatures not falling quite as low, but again, bitterly cold where you�*ve got those clear skies. for much of england and wales, temperatures well below freezing once again. we�*ve got this really cold air mass with us, and into friday, we�*re going to see the winds coming in from more of a south—easterly direction, so certainly fewer showers than we have seen recently. still some snow showers holding on across eastern parts

of scotland on friday. much of england, wales and northern ireland looking dry. just the odd shower in the far south—west. once again, temperatures between about freezing and 4 degrees celsius. now, moving through into the weekend, and you�*ll start to notice the yellow colours pushing in from the west, so that means, gradually, it looks like that milder air is going to move in through the course of the weekend. but saturday once again, bitterly cold start to the day. then as that milder air moves in, we could see some significant snow for parts of northern ireland, scotland, parts of northwest england, wales as well. further east, you�*re more likely to stay dry through the day on saturday and, again, bitterly cold, with temperatures really struggling to get above freezing once again. but then that milder air looks to be sweeping across the uk, so all of us not quite as cold. some rain in the north and west by the time we get to sunday. bye— bye.
