gig-fueled apps that exceed expectations. comcast business. beyond fast. government shutdown are at a standstill with federal workers furloughed into a third week. now white house officials say president trump could invoke a national emergency to get his border wall. we will talk about that. plus, private messages open to eavesdroppers by the worst of the worst malware. what jamal khashoggi's phone may reveal about his death. and later this hour, we are just hours away from this year's golden globes. we take a look at who is in the running. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to our viewers here in the u.s. and all around the world, i'm
2:01 am
natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom." our top story, the government shutdown. a white house official tells cnn the u.s. president is seriously leaning toward invoking emergency powers to fund his border wall. the official says donald trump is inclined to take the radical step if talks to reopen the government continue to stall. president trump acknowledged in a tweet that negotiations didn't make much headway on saturday, both sides are expected to meet again in the coming hours. we get more on latest developments from cnn's boris sanchez, he is at the white house. >> reporter: a saturday meeting between top administration officials and aides for congressional leadership at the white house on saturday, we heard a number of conflicting reports of exactly what transpired during negotiation toss reopen the federal government. one source on capitol hill indicating that the discussions led to baby steps in the
2:02 am
progress of reopening the federal government. the source indicating that democrats asked republicans for official justification for the $5.6 billion the president has been demanding for his long promised border wall. the source saying that republicans responded by saying that they would get back to democrats by sunday, the date of the next scheduled meeting between these two sides. a source close to vice president mike pence indicated that the talks were productive but mick mulvaney didn't think so. he spoke to jake tapper on ""state of the union"" saying both sides are far apart and believes democrats are simply trying to stall. >> i know that speaker pelosi had said she didn't want to get even more than $1 to the border wall, president trump has talked about $5.6 billion. is there any give in the $5.6 billion in terms of whether or not it has to be for a wall or whether it can be for more generally border security? >> i think the president said for a long time that it was -- it's $5.6 billion for border
2:03 am
security including the wall. we recognize that things like technology at border crossings are important, but certainly a barrier is important. we didn't make much progress at the meeting, which was surprising to me. i thought we had come in to talk about terms that we could agree on, places where we all agreed we should be spending more time, more attention, things we could do to improve our border security and yet the opening line from one of the lead democrat negotiators was that they were not there to talk about any agreement, they were actually in my mind there to stall and we did not make much progress. >> and late saturday night a source at the white house has indicated that if these talks continue to stall, president trump is likely to declare a national emergency and use his emergency powers as president to secure funding for his border wall. it is a drastic move, one that would likely be challenged through the court system by democrats. the source indicates that there are very basic factual disagreements between these two sides that they can't get on the
2:04 am
same page and that perhaps declaring a national emergency is the only way out for the president as the shutdown enters its third week. boris sanchez, cnn at the white house. so what exactly does it mean for u.s. president to invoke emergency powers? here is what mr. trump said on friday. >> we can call a national emergency because of the security of our country. absolutely. no, we can do it. i haven't done it. i may do it. i may do it. but we can call a national emergency and build it very quickly. >> let's look more closely at this idea, invoking emergency powers is extremely rare in the u.s., previous presidents have only did unit during a national crisis such as the outbreak of war. once invoked, federal law permits the u.s. military to fund construction projects deemed critical to national security. if president trump chose this route, two officials say the pentagon believes only 1 to $2 billion would be immediately
2:05 am
available, nowhere near the 5$56 billion he's demanding from congress. to get the additional money mr. trump would have to cancel other military projects that have already been funded, many which are considered priorities by the pentagon. finally, if the president were to invoke emergency powers and order the u.s. military to fund and build his wall, it would almost certainly trigger lawsuits challenging its legality. sounds complex, but he's sure floating the idea. for now the president remains fixed on getting $5.6 billion from congress to build a ball on the southern u.s. border. democrats have repeatedly said no, instead they will forge ahead with trying to reopen the government with or without mr. trump's blessing. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi said in a statement next week house democrats will begin passing individual appropriations bills to reopen all government agencies, starting with the appropriations bill that covers the department
2:06 am
of the treasury and the internal revenue service. the irs. this action is necessary, she says, so that the american people can receive their tax refunds on schedule. the certainty of the tax returns of hard working families should no longer be held hostage to the president's reckless demands. well, let's discuss this saga that's really going talks with lucas from the university of birmingham in england, a professor of international politics and the founder and editor of ea world view. hello, scott. happy new year to you. >> and a happy new year to you, natalie. >> well, let's begin with president trump, putting so much now, we see it here, in his candidacy and now his presidency to get this wall. has he somewhat boxed himself in? >> oh, he owns the shutdown, natalie. that's our starting point. when on december 11th he told the democratic leadership,
2:07 am
senator minority leader chuck schumer, house speaker nancy pelosi, i'll be proud to shut down -- for a government shutdown for border security. he took ownership. so this is -- and i into he had to follow up on what your correspondents have been reporting about mick mulvaney's statement, this is not a two-sides issue. this is a one-side issue, because far from backing away from the shutdown, what you have seen in the last 48 hours is not only that it is donald trump who is threatening to declare a national state of emergency, not the democrats, it is donald trump who is saying that private land can be seized alongside the border by the military, not the democrats. it's donald trump who is saying this could last months or even years, not the democrats. what you have also seen is that mike pence and mick mulvaney and jared kushner yesterday took a harder line with the democrats. remember that last week they were discussing with democratic legislators a $2.5 billion package for border security with an unspecified amount for the
2:08 am
wall. what they did yesterday was go in and say, from the start, we have to have the 5.6, 5.7 billion dollars that trump has demanded for the wall. democrats -- not only democrats, but some republicans will not buy that because the border wall, the wall, whether it's steel or concrete or what other substance it is, is a boondoggle, it's not reg vapt to effective border security. so they continue to say let's discuss effective border security measures, but do you know who is not having it, donald trump. >> right, let's look at this action that he floated about claiming a national emergency, going around congress. if he were to do that, would that outcome reflect the stance he has betrayed as being the ultimate dealmaker, because that would signify he couldn't make a deal? >> well, you know, donald trump will declare that he's making a deal, even when everything is falling apart around him, and
2:09 am
that's the issue here. because the symbolism of declaring a national emergency when it is not wartime, with en there is not an eminent security price is is to pretty much put your hands up and look like you're desperate. when that imanational emergency means you are continuing to put 800,000 people out of work or on unpaid work, when it is threatening tax refunds, when it's threatening food stamps for next months for millions of americans, it looks like for your own political emergency you're declaring a national emergency and you don't care about what the cost is. >> and he is saying that he's willing to keep this partial government shutdown going for months or even longer and at that point will he see some of his base standing down on this border wall if they start to feel it? also, he can say at the same
2:10 am
time he fought like heck to get the wall, if he doesn't get it do you think they will give him chops for giving it the best fight he could? >> well, that's the key question because we learned this weekend that in 2014 the wall wasn't a realistic proposal. it was a line given to trump by his advisers to remind him to speak about immigration at every campaign stop when he decided to run for president. as he said this again and again, he came to believe it, and more importantly he comes to believe that this so-called base believes it. now, there may be 25, 30 percent of people out there in america who will support donald trump come hell or high party, come whatever damage comes over weeks, months or years, but to believe that a majority of americans, whether they're democrat or republican, right or left, are going to accept a trump shutdown because they have to sacrifice, i think that donald trump's, let's say, enormous self-belief, may find a
2:11 am
dead end at that point. >> it will be interesting to see how they get out of this situation. and they're meeting again on sunday. we always appreciate your inside, scott lucas. thank you so much, scott. >> thank you. breaking news from texas, police have made their first arrest in the murder of a seven-year-old girl in houston. you will recall jazmine barnes was shot december 29th while riding in a car with her family. they were just making a quick trip to the store for coffee. police have charged eric black jr. now with capital murder in connection with barnes' death. according to a statement they were led to him by a tip and then he admitted taking part. police have not said if black was the gunman, though. investigators don't think the family was the intended target and likely the victim of mistaken identity. the shooting sparked nationwide outrage over senseless gun violence and prompted the
2:12 am
community to hold rallies like this one on saturday. jazmine's memorial service is set for tuesday. a powerful malware program is being called the worst of the worst, and it may have infected the phone of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi. cnn investigates the spyware ahead here. also the u.s. detains another russian as the kremlin accuses this former u.s. marine of being a spy. he's being held in a former kgb prison. we will have the latest in the fall whelan case right after this. paul whelan case right aft this. minimums and fees. they seem to be the very foundation of your typical bank. capital one is anything but typical. that's why we designed capital one cafes. you can get savings and checking accounts with

2:15 am
there are reports two british soldiers have been wounded by an isis attack in syria. kurdish media outlet roudou says they were special forces. they were injured by a missile strike. a kurdish fighter with the anti-isis ypg was killed, another wounded. the british defense ministry didn't deny the reports, but says it won't comment on special forces. this comes weeks after u.s. president trump said u.s. forces were leaving syria and that isis was defeated. the u.n. is criticizing saudi arabia's criminal trial of suspects in the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. it says the smile is not sufficient. the organization had requested an independent and international probe into the murder and says the trial doesn't meet its requirements. khashoggi was killed at saudi
2:16 am
arabia's consulate in istanbul three months ago. before he died he had exchanged messages with dissident omar abdel aziz, but those messages may not have been secure thanks to malware that allegedly infected his phone. abdel a zeeds has filed a lawsuit against the company that created the malware. >> reporter: jamal khashoggi thought the messages he sent the fellow saudi dissident were secure, cloaked in what's app security, in inn dead the messages were an open book, so was the entire phone. allegedly infected by pegasus, a powerful piece of malware from the israel-based nso group. edward snowden in his first ever video appearance in israel in november described the company like this -- >> the nso group in today's world based on the evidence we have, they are the worst of the worst in selling these burglary
2:17 am
tools that are being actively currently used to violate the human rights of, you know, dissidents, opposition figures, activists. >> reporter: i got to see the power of pegasus unwittingly two years ago. >> your phone is now compromised. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> ten seconds? >> ten seconds. >> reporter: mobile security experts at checkpoint, one of the world's leaders in cybersecurity showed me they could hack a phone with one click, gaining access to the microphone, camera and data. the malware they used they say was similar to pegasus. one of the cyber experts was michael shoulow who understood the potential threat of pegasus and similar programs. >> even when they sell the software to specifically the law enforcement agency that originally bought it, in the case that those guys want to inn effect what we would perceive as illegitimate targets, the nso has no control or they cannot really prevent it. >> reporter: nso group uses what
2:18 am
are called zero days, hidden vulnerabilities on mobile devices that elite hackers can use to get access to the inner workings of a phone. in. so group has always focused on mobile devices, they call them the alpha dog of the market. >> unless apple or google fixes that bug, that bug can stay for many, many years and nso can sell software that is able to go through those holes in the software and infect the phone. >> reporter: apple and google are constantly working to fix bugs and close zero days, but each new feature introduces new code and new vulnerabilities. this man is a researcher with a company that focuses on mobile security. he says potential attack surfaces as they're called, the possible ways and locations of trying to hack a phone, are nearly limitless, but he says relatively few people have the expertise necessary to find them, develop them and possibly sell them.
2:19 am
>> if you have a walking chain it is definitely more than a million dollars. so yeah. >> and the customers are out there to buy them? >> yeah. there's always demand. it's the offer that changes, but, yeah, there's always going to be someone to buy them. >> reporter: nso group has capitalized on that demand, a multi-million dollar company with a powerful product, that product, pegasus, has put nso at a series of lawsuits from mexico and qatar. oren lieberman, cnn tel aviv. >> in a statement to cnn nso group said it was completely unfounded and shows no evidence that the company's technology was used to hack abdul aziz's phone. nso says its technology helps governments and law enforcement agencies fight terrorism and crime in a modern age and is fully vetted and licensed by the
2:20 am
israeli government. the statement added this, the lawsuit appears to be based on a collection of press clippings that have been generated for the sole purpose of creating news headlines and do not reflect the reality of nso's group. in addition, product supply by nso are operated by the government customer to come they were supplied without the involvement of nso or its employees. we turn now to russia, the kremlin is protesting the arrest of a russian citizen on the u.s. island of sigh pan. the man was detained last month. it happened in the pacific. the charges against him are connected to money laundering and the export of weapons parts. the kremlin says the u.s. did not properly notify russian authorities of his arrest. all this comes as russia continues to hold this man, a u.s. citizen accused of espionage, paul whelan was
2:21 am
arrested after alleged spy maria butina pleaded guilty in the u.s. let's talk about what possibly is going on here with cnn's sam kylie, he joins us live from our moscow bureau. sam, both russia and the u.s. are now holding people they say are spies. is there any serious talk at this point of a prisoner swap? >> reporter: well, not according, natalie, to the deputy russian foreign minister who yesterday insisted that any talk of spies was very much premature since mr. whelan had not yet been formally charged with espionage. now, this is confusing because in an interview with cnn his russian-based lawyer insisted that his client had, indeed, been charged and that he was seeking bail and that that bail was being opposed by the russian authorities because mr. whelan, who is facing espionage charges,
2:22 am
represented an alleged flight risk. now, in that context it would seem that there's some dissidents within the russian administration, this being russian christmas and we have just had new year when pretty much the government shuts down, may just be a miscommunication internally, but externally in terms of diplomatic relations the case of mr. whelan on top of now the case of mr. mac reng co who has been arrested in the northern pacific, russian citizen accused of money laundering and the shipping of sophisticated sites, both thermal imaging and night imaging sites as well as parts to russia. allegedly the russian end of an arms smuggling network which also involved money laundering, could ultimately result in some kind of spy for spy swap of the sort that he have with' seen in the past, particularly during the cold war.
2:23 am
possibly involving mr. makarenko, possibly maria butina who has pleaded guilty in the united states to attempting to influence the national rifle association and other bodies within the political structures of the united states or indeed the famous victor boot who celebrated an infamous arms smuggler, money laundering who is also in an american jail, which the russians have been calling for his return for some time. so there are opportunities there, but not officially yet as far as the russians are concerned. notally? >> all right. we will wait and see what happens next. sam kylie, thank you. we turn now to the u.s. west coast, expected to get hammered soon with heavy rain, mudslides, mountain snow and derek van dam is here with that. >> there is a series of three different storms that are pounding the west coast and, of course, we have had the recent wildfires within the u.s. state of california and you get heavy rain on some of those burn areas and the potential for mudslides
2:24 am
exist. look at this moisture plume streaming into california as well as the pacific northwest, there is going to produce significant amounts of rain in the lower elevations then you get higher and higher where temperatures cool and we get snowfall, the frozen variety. it is already taking place. snow piling up across the rockies, throughout the sierra nevada and into the cascade mountain range. look at how far south the rainfall starts to move, even into los angeles. talked about three different storms, there goes one, there's the second, the third one lining up across the pacific ocean, that just means consistent wet and snowy weather expected for the western u.s., so maybe some travel delays at the major international hubs from los angeles to san francisco, salt lake all the way to seattle. here is a look at the five day totals in terms of snowfall, we could be measuring this in feet. great news for the ski resorts coming from a skier myself i love to see this weather forecast. here is the winter weather advisories taking shape from the rockies all the way towards the sierra nevada mountain range. winter storm warnings and with
2:25 am
this onslaught of storm systems moving in the winds could be very gusty, in fact, up to hurricane force across the pacific force. specifically on some of those higher mountaintop ranges. got to show you something else that's happened on sunday morning across northeast asia. this is coming out of japan, tokyo. these young children witnessed a very rare solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse, about 30% of the sun was blocked sunday morning in japan and other portions across northeast china, even portions of russia and a small sliver of alaska actually getting in on some of this partial solar eclipse action. here is a composite photo, kind of a timeline of the actual event taking shape from the beginning all the way through its 30% coverage all the way to the end and quite a scene. take a look at this video image coming out of an astronomical agency out of japan. there it is, 30% of the moon -- or, excuse me, the sun being covered. lunar eclipse and a solar
2:26 am
eclipse, get straight. you think i get paid for this professionally. >> i knew you would say something about skiing, too. >> i'm a sucker for it. >> the dude is a skier. all right. derek, thanks. >> you're welcome. u.s. senator elizabeth warren has butted heads with donald trump many times over the years and if she has her way there will be plenty more of it. we will take you to one of the first rallies of the 2020 election campaign next. also u.s. government leaders aren't budging as thousands of government workers sit idle with no end in sight to not getting paid. we will walk you through we got to the impasse that is day 15 of the government shutdown.

here in the united states and around the world, this is "cnn newsroom." i'm natalie allen with our top stories. police in texas say they have made an arrest in the murder of this seven-year-old girl. jazmine barnes was shot wild radio igd in a car with her family december 29th. police say they arrested eric black jr. who admitted to taking part in the shooting. they have not said if he was the gunman. the u.s. national security adviser is kicking off a trip to the middle east. john bolton tweeted saturday he had arrived in israel. in the coming hours he's set with meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. after that he's headed to turkey. isis and the u.s. withdrawal from syria are set to top the agenda. another high ranking pentagon official has resigned. rear admiral kevin sweeney has stepped down as chief of staff of the defense secretary. this comes after his boss james
2:31 am
mattis resigned over changes in syria. sweeney says he will return to the private sector. a white house official tells cnn u.s. president trump is inclined to declare a national emergency if talks to reopen the government continue to stall. on friday mr. trump said he could use emergency powers to take money from the pentagon if congress refuses to fund his border wall. white house and congressional negotiators will meet again on sunday. so how did we get here? a month ago no one seriously thought part of the u.s. government would become paralyzed over the president's demand for a border wall, leaving 800,000 federal workers in the lurch. after all, mr. trump had campaigned on the promise. remember this, that mexico would pay for it. so here is how we got here, december 11th president trump meets with democratic leaders
2:32 am
chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. the democrats were willing to authorize $1.3 billion for border security, but the president said he needed $5 billion and if he didn't get it -- >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security, chuck. i will take the mantel. i will be the one to shut it undo. i'm not going to blame you for it. >> a week later the republican-controlled senate passes a resolution to keep the government going into february, but without the border wall funding. republicans believe the president has agreed to this. the next day then house speaker paul ryan says the house is ready to pass the senate bill with the expectation the president will sign it. >> is there any doubt that trump will sign it? >> no, there is no doubt at all. >> no doubt at all. well, hours later the president abruptly backs out. a senior white house official
2:33 am
tells cnn that mr. trump succumb to pressure from the far right who were furious he was not getting a border wall after all. the house then moves quickly to include $5 billion for a border wall, but there aren't enough votes to pass the senate. plus, congress is itching to get out of town for christmas. at midnight december 22nd the government partially shut down. trump digs in his heels, demanding $5 billion for husband wall. democrats won't budge. behind the scenes trump aides start reaching out to democrats with offers. >> we've insisted on 5, but the discussions now are between 1.6 and 5. >> vice president mike pence floats the figure of $2.5 billion, much lower, but that rejected out of hand -- was rejected out of hand by democrats. president trump later disavows he ever agreed to anything but
2:34 am
$5 billion. pretty soon white house aides are backing away from the word wall. outgoing chief of staff john kelly tells the "los angeles times," quote, to be honest, it's not a wall. and then two of president trump's strongest supporters say this -- >> they failed to pass kate's laws, they failed to pass -- >> over a wall. >> no. >> it has been shut down over a wall. >> that is inn correct. >> the president said it in the oval office. >> it is shut down because of border security. >> the wall has become a metaphor for border security. >> 24 hours later the president says an all concrete wall was never abandoned as has been reported by the media. in other words, it's not a metaphor. days later the president contradicts everyone as he lays out his final position, $5.6
2:35 am
billion or nothing. >> not 2.5. no. we're asking for 5.6 and, you know, somebody said 2.5. no. >> there it is. you can decide who is responsible for 800,000 federal workers now living in fear they might lose everything over a wall or a fence or whatever you want to call it. >> earlier my colleague paula newton spoke with a furloughed employee at the internal revenue service in atlanta and she asked him what it would take to end this nightmare for so many thousand federal workers. >> it's going to take the public, those people who are going to be impacted beyond the federal employees to stand up and say enough is enough. because what we do, the irs, i mean, anyone that's due a refund, they won't get that refund until we go back to work. >> do you feel kind of marginalized a bit, like it really won't matter until, as you said, it starts to touch
2:36 am
more facets of american life? >> yes, and that's the scary part in that we have to get to that point to where more people stand up, because people who don't really know exactly what federal agencies do, but this furlough is going to impact everybody either directly or indirectly in some form or fashion, and until that happens i don't know if we're going to get that kind of support that we need. >> what's your worst fear right now? >> my worst fear is that his position stays the same. when i heard his comments at the rose garden it really concerned me because i walked away not knowing if he actually really cared about the impact or if he was even aware of the impact, but when you say things like most people support it, i don't know of anyone who wants to be without a paycheck when day care is due, the mortgage is due, rent is due. i don't know of anybody who is happy about that. >> if it's any consolation to people like terry scott there,
2:37 am
house democrats have vowed to keep fighting to reopen the government as soon as possible, starting with the irs. the next u.s. presidential election is still almost two years away, but potential candidates are already preparing to take on donald trump. first in line, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren who is making her case in the state of iowa. cnn's m.j. lee is traveling with her. >> reporter: senator warren has had a busy 12 hours in iowa. she attended over four events in the course of 24 hours across the state introducing herself to the people of iowa and making clear what her important issues are going to be in her eventual 2020 presidential campaign. now, one question that she got from an audience member in sioux city was about her decision to release a dna test about her
2:38 am
native american ancestry. the person asking her why she decided to release the results of that test and give president trump more fodder to bully her. this is what she responded. >> i am not a person of color, i am not a citizen of a tribe. tribal citizenship is very different from ancestry. tribes and only tribes determine tribal citizenship and i respect that difference. my decision was i'm just going to put it all out there. took a while, but just put it all out there. all my hires records, including a dna test, it's out there, it's online, anybody can look at it, it's there. >> now, even though senator warren has been drawing big crowds all of saturday, doesn't mean that everyone who is coming to her events are necessarily supporting her. in fact, a lot of the voters that we spoke to here over the weekend telling us that they are simply undecided and they are looking forward to getting to know many of the other potential democratic candidates who are to come by iowa over the next couple of months and this is

2:50 am
from nicole kidman's gritty destroyer to melissa mccarthy's dramatic can you ever forgive me. >> i want you. >> in the musical or comedy category "vice" is the one to beat with more nominations than any other film. it faces off against "mary poppins returns", green book, the favorite and ground breaking "crazy rich asians." >> it was a movie that was all about inclusion, it was an all asian cast, had a nice narrative behind t i wouldn't be surprised if the globes backed that narrative. >> as for the actors eyes are on christian bail to win for his stunning transformation into dick cheney in vice. >> i can handle the more mundane jobs. >> hosting the golden globes this year. >> seriously, there is an elephant in that room. >> to television stars. >> sandra oh and andy samberg. oh is nominated for chilly e, but faces stiff competition from homecoming which earned julia
2:51 am
roberts a best actress nomination. >> i think there is good will around her for trying tv for the first time and hitting it out of the park. >> ceo, there is shrimp in the egg rolls. >> rabbi, she's kidding. >> the marvelous mrs. mazel looks to compete for best tv comedy. but a new show like jim carrey's kidding could be a contender. while the globes have a habit of making news. >> a new day is on the horizon. >> it may be hard to top the presidential rumors sparked last year by oprah winfrey's spirited speech. stephanie elum, cnn, hollywood. let's talk more about it. we're joined by richard fitzwilliams, editor of international whose who. richard, we always appreciate you coming on. how are you doing? >> well, i'm really looking forward to it. we've got two populous movies, "black panther" and "crazy rich asians" which is the first of three black held films for best
2:52 am
picture drama, which is also a first and triumph for diversity and there's absolutely no doubt as well that there is some very close and exciting races. will, for example, bradley cooper, you mentioned preliminary "a star is born" a superb performance, will he beat remy malik as freddie mercury for best actor? >> what do you think of lady gaga's performance in the same movie? >> it is tremendous because "a star is born" it's about the rise to stardom and also the price that that ex acts on relationships and i think she definitely will win best actress for drama beating melissa mccarthy and nicole kidman. it's brilliant. she sang superbly, too. >> it's hard to find somebody that came away from that movie and didn't really enjoy it. yeah, if lady gaga were to beat
2:53 am
glen close that would be quite a step into her acting career, would it not? you mentioned crazy rich asians, that was like the fun movie that was out there and it's nominated for the comedy category, also the favorite, "green book", you mentioned "mary poppins" and we have "vice." >> with six nominations. i think christian bail somehow we say good-bye to robert redfo redford, i think christian bail will win for superb impersonation of dick cheney in the best actor comedy and musical. but when it comes to best picture comedy and musical, i think it's between the favorite, bizarre look at the court of queen ann in 18th century britain and "green book" which is an extremely sensitive and powerful indictment of racism in the south in the early '60s. too close to call there.
2:54 am

2:55 am
crazy rich shans and mary poppen returns. >> good. i just started roma last night on netflix so i'm on my way. we mentioned, you know, the theme from last year, people supporting the me too movement, oprah coming out with that gripping speech. is there anything on the books as far as a theme for these awards? >> i think it will be interesting to see what jeff bridges says when he wins the award. i think also we've got the triumph for diversity which has i suspect been the headline for these awards or even, for example, an african-american spiderman will win the animated category i suspect also. there's always this gripping sense of surprise and i would mention the british contribution, olivia como likely to win for best actress for
