6:00 am
john. this morning, president biden moved to permanently ban offshore drilling in 625 million acres of ocean. talking about areas along the east coast, the gulf of mexico, coast of washington, oregon, and california, and alaska's northern bearing sea. the way this is structured, donald trump would have to get congress to act on a reversal. colorado police got an unexpected help pursuing a stolen car in a high- speed chase. this happened not that far from denver. you know who stepped in to help? maybe we'll see it, snowplows. snowplows came to help. three snowplows blocked the suspect by shutting down i-70. the i- 70 highway. that led to the driver's arrest. in japan, a giant blue fin tuna has sold for a near record price. the 600 pound tuna is the size of a motorcycle. are we talking a chopper? a
6:01 am
small kawasaki, like a crotch rocket? i don't know. but it's the size of some kind of a motorcycle. it sold for about 1 million to a michelin- starred restaurant. the bid is the second highest since the market began keeping records on this 26 years ago. it's a big fish. i would say roughly the size of a motorcye. a new hour of "cnn news central" starts now. the weather turning dangerous for millions of americans as a powerful winter storm sweeps across the united states. millions already hit with crippling snow and ice and emergency warnings in effect for several states. snow has shut down much of d.c. , but not the hall of congress, because later today, lawmakers are expected to certify donald trump's election win, four years to the day after his supporters stormed the capitol over his loss. and the glitz, the glamour, the wins and
6:02 am
surprises. we have a breakdown of the big night at the golden globes, as they kick off award season. i'm sara sidner with john berman and kate balduan. this is "cnn news central. " happening right now, a snow emergency in washington, d.c. that's getting worse by the hour. when all is said and done, an historic 16 inches could be on the ground there, which would not only surpass what was deemed in 2016 as snowzilla, but it could also be twice as much as the snow they saw the last two years combined. the city's virtually shut down, but this time, not congress, where lawmakers are gathering today to certify the 2024 election. beyond washington, conditions are also dangerous this morning for tens of millions of americans. thousands of flights have been delayed or canceled. at least three deaths have been reported from the icy road conditions in kansas and
6:03 am
missouri. cnn's meteorologist derek van dam is tracking all of this for you. and derek, right now, where are you watching most closely? >> okay, so, d.c. this is an important day, not only for certification of election results, but also because of the amount of snow that's fallen. just at 7:00 a.m. this morning, reagan national, 4. 7 inches of snow. that's their largest snow total in two years. of course, you already said it, but if we accumulate more snow over 8. 5 inches, that will be more snow than we've had combined the past two seasons. that's really saying something. here's a live look at the national mall. there's the lincoln memorial in the background. lots of snow still blanketing the nation's capitol. this is a dynamic and large storm system that has a severe component to the south, an ice component, right smack dab in the middle, and then snow from the mid- atlantic stretching westward towards the ohio river valley. this is, all in all, about an 800- mile stretch of winter weather alerts. and this is all part of the same storm. but check out this 18-
6:04 am
wheeler jackknifing directly in front of this driver, just scary moments. but it really shows you the icy conditions that was left in its wake, as the system garnered some strength over the midwest and moved eastward. now setting up shop across the mid-atlantic. so temperatures supportive of snow in the nation's capitol to the south. you can see, it's flirting with the freezing mark. that's why we're seeing that changeover to ice and a mixture of precipitation as well. but additional snowfall to come, another 1 to 3 inches for d.c. will we set these historic 16- inch records comparing to snowzilla back in 2016, not likely. but it's still fun, it's still beautiful, but of course, a nightmare on the roads. behind us, a lot of wind and with the ice that's accumulated and the snow, that means we could start taking down some trees and power lines, o something to consider going forward. >> that's the big concern. kentucky's governor was on with us earlier. and he said the ice, half an inch of ice they've gotten throughout kentucky, that's the big concern they're
6:05 am
dealing with. thank you so much, derek, for keeping an eye on it. john? >> we put someone right in the middle of this snow in washington, d.c. , because you need to know what it feels like. cnn's gabe cohen live outside, gabe. what's it feel like? >> it feels cold, john. it feels wet. that's maybe all i have for you. but the snow is accumulating. we've been seeing this heavy downfall for all morning, for as long as we've been here. and you can see here, look at this, the accumulation that we are seeing. and as derek laid out, we're expecting more throughout the day, which is why there's this snow warning in effect here in d.c. , well into the night. and declarations of emergency across at least six states, including here in the district. it really feels like d.c. is sort of frozen right now. schools across this region are shut down. federal government offices are closed today. this should be a busy road right now. we are looking at some arterials that
6:06 am
really should be packed with people who are commuting to work. instead, it is quiet. really, the only cars that we are seeing are law enforcement vehicles. and that is because we're standing outside the united states capitol. in fact, we're going to be careful here, because we have a couple of police cars coming out now. there are a ton of law enforcement vehicles, dozens and dozens that we have seen, who are here because the election is going to be certified a little bit later today. you can see the fencing that's been put up around the capitol, because there is heightened security right now. we know that mpd, the local police department, fully activated, john. every officer in the city working 12- hour shifts. we saw an nypd vehicle, new york police department vehicle go by earlier. it speaks to the resources that are coming in from all over the place. they were already on high alert, not just because of what happened four years ago on january 6th, but also that attack in new orleans recently, john. and so they're now dealing with this storm that could complicate things. and obviously, these conditions are going to complicate things for a lot of people across this
6:07 am
region. millions of them. >> very complicated. visibility is tough, which is why it's good you have the red pants. gabe cohen, great to see you. terrific report. thank you, my friend. sarah? >> oh, john. joining me now to discuss the latest that's happening in kansas is kansas department of transportation spokesperson kim stitch. thank you so much for being here. what are you experiencing there now? i think you're in topeka. >> right, exactly. in topeka, saturday, we had drizzle coming in, saturday night the snow started, it snowed virtually all day yesterday and the snow finally ended last night across the dissipate we're digging out. roadways were closed in north central kansas, northeastern kansas, and south central kansas. a stretch of i- 70, about 200 miles was closed. we just had some really serious conditions because of the ice under the snow. and it was just so slick. people just could not
6:08 am
stay on the roads. >> when you talk about the ice under the snow, anybody who has driven on that knows how treacherous it is. the sliding, the slipping, the uncontrolled cars. what are you telling people this morning and how do roads look this morning, as people try to figure out whether or not to go to work, school, or pass through kansas to get somewhere else. >> we're really encouraging people to avoid travel still today. roads are looking better, because our crews have been out. they are always out 24/7 when a storm hits. they've been out all night. and they are starting to get ahead, since the precipitation stopped. you just can't get ahead while it's raining, sleeting, or drizzle, or snow. you just can't get ahead. but now you can finally get in there and get some stuff really cleared off and so the roads are starting to look better, but they are still slick. we are really encouraging people to stay home today, if at all
6:09 am
possible. governor kelly even issued an emergency alert warning, asking people to avoid travel, both last night and this morning. so we're really, you know, looking to try and keep the roads as clear as possible from people, so that our crews can get the work done. so, yes, we're still encouraging people to stay home. so many different offices, schools, everything, is closed. so that helps as well. >> have there been any crashes or many crashes that you know of, in and around the area? >> oh, there have been a lot of crashes. and, you know, we work together with our partner law enforcement agencies, and you know, to help on these things. they're the ones that mainly respond to this, you know, while we're working to clear the roads. but when necessary, we work together on things. and there was just cars all over the place. we had to close sections of i- 70 early yesterday, a couple of different times, smaller
6:10 am
sections, because there were so many crashes or so many people ran off the road, and so many things going on on i- 70, that we had to close a couple of different sections for a couple of different hours. the slideoffs, the crashes were just, you know, huge yesterday, throughout the day, which is why so many roads got closed. and you know, to try to keep people off of them and get those roads cleared up. >> your advice still this morning to stay off the roads, so you are not caught in that. kim stich, thank you so much. stay safe. you're inside, and just stay there, i guess that's the key. >> right. >> appreciate you. john? we have breaking news. there are reports that canadian prime minister justin trudeau could announce his resignation as soon as today. we have new reporting on what will and will not happen on this january 6th. what a difference four years makes. and what was the single- best joke at the golden globes, the best dressed, the worst cutaway.
6:11 am
we have the answers you need. stay with us.
6:12 am
6:13 am
6:14 am
6:15 am
this morning, a remarkable moment at one of the most extraordinary comebacks in political history. congress will open and count the votes from the electoral college today. it is january 6th, four years to the day after supporters of donald trump stormed the capitol to stop this count. that will not happen this time. vice president kamala harris, who lost the election, she will preside over the count, something al gore had to
6:16 am
do some 24 years ago. cnn's lauren fox and jeff zeleny are with us this morning. lauren, lay out exactly how this process will work today. >> reporter: yeah, we expect that this process will be finished in just under an hour, but really, this is an important moment, just to restore normalcy to what had previously, before january 6th four years ago, been a process that many americans may not have even paid attention to. this is just simply the counting of the votes that were already cast back in november by america's voters. we expect that the president of the senate, who will be vice president kamala harris, will begin opening state by state, each of these certifications. then she will hand them to four tellers. these are the top republicans and top democrats on the house and senate administration committees. once they receive each of the envelopes, they will count, record, and tally each of the
6:17 am
votes. once that process is completed, which we expect will take just over 40 minutesish, then we expect that this process will end. lawmakers will go home for the day. they have no other legislative business expected. but again, it is sort of this moment on capitol hill where the security apparatus around the capitol is heightened. you have, obviously, a lot of lawmakers who are remembering what happened four years ago. john? >> i mean, how could they forget it. lauren, as you point out, today is ceremonial. they are literally just counting the votes, the certification happened in each state. jeff zeleny, to that end, what a difference four years makes. >> john, it is really extraordinary. and it is days like today, just ordinary functions of democracy that really put a finer point on how extraordinary of a period this has been in our american history. but, yes, as lauren said, this simply will be a formality today. president-elect donald trump will be watching it, i'm
6:18 am
told, from here at mar-a-lago. he, of course, is building his new government. he's doing a radio interview this morning with hugh hewitt, as we speak, talking about his plans for his first 100 days and beyond. so in two weeks' time, he will be sworn into office. but today, as the electoral counts or votes are certified and counted, it is a point to also look back to how donald trump was able to turn what seemed four years ago as a deep dramatic political liability into an asset, to win the republican primary campaign, to win the general election campaign over vice president kamala harris. as you said, she will be standing in her role, presiding over the senate. she said he will be doing so out of love of the country and loyalty to the constitution. so today, john, is one of those markers of just the extraordinary comeback, yes, for the 45th and, yes, the 47th president of the united states that will be marked likely without much fanfare at all. and that perhaps is the
6:19 am
most extraordinary thing of all. john? >> indeed, it is. history. jeff zeleny and lauren fox, our thanks to both of you. kate? >> joining me right now, jennings and bakari sellers. january 6th 2025 will mark the most stunning political comeback in u.s. history. congress will con advisory to certify trump's 2024 election win. today is showing that american ghorks or the nation has t memories. >> short memories. i think democrats should go out and joe biden should rally on the mall, we should take the confederate flag and parade it through the capitol. i think we should injure 140 officers and then if kamala harris dares to certify the vote, we should threaten to hang her. i mean, do you see how -- i mean, i think people should understand how ludicrous that sounds, but that's where we were four years ago. that is what this
6:20 am
incoming president helped usher in. but what we've realized, this is not just short memories, it's the fact the same thing we've seen around the world with justin trudeau later this week and others, the same thing we've seen around the world, these economic pressures, prices rising, cultural anxiety lead to these electoral outcomes. >> scott, in a political sense, is it how we got here is interesting, and you can see the evolution. you can play all the sound bites from the days after when you heard republicans blaming donald trump, some short of saying he should be impeached, saying he should be held accountable. and four years later, we are here. it is a stunning political comeback, attributed to how trump played it afterward. how democrats played it afterward, or something else. >> i think it's some mixture of everything, but to me, the big message is that in the united states, the people decide. and because of the disastrous four years that came after donald trump, that people decided to return donald trump to power. and that's fundamentally
6:21 am
happened. they looked at what happened on january 6th. they looked at all the things that democrats claimed about donald trump, and they also analyzed every single decision that joe biden and kamala harris made, and they delivered donald trump a convincing. >> it is tough, though. when you say, the people decide. that's what people tried to make sure didn't happen on january 6th. was allowing the people to decide. >> the machinery turned. >> the lack of acknowledgement of how bad it was in the aftermath. >> i think a great many people have acknowledged it, but also, what happened that day? >> a great many -- >> the machinery turned. joe biden became the president. he had one of the worst terms of any u.s. president. and the people scrambled back to donald trump. that is what happened. >> i don't know. i look at today. donald trump is inheriting one of the best economies that a president has inherited in a very long period of time. if you look at the fact that something like net migration at the border is lower than it was even before donald trump took
6:22 am
office. if you want to look at the stock market. >> but two things can be true -- the border needs to be secured further and these numbers can be accurate. >> this is the first time in dozens of years that a president has actually inherited a government where we don't have soldiers overseas in active combat zones. so let's actually look at where we are. we actually -- or he is actually inheriting a government right now that is much backyard etter than any predecessor he has had before. >> i am -- okay, i recognize that is the argument that was made during the election. and i would also like to recognize that the american people soundly rejected that argument. we do have american troops in forward locations all over the world. >> not in combat zones. >> but they are in hot spots. >> not in combat zones. >> we just had an american soldier die not too long ago in the middle east -- >> correct, and they are protecting our freedom every day. >> -- trying to correct joe
6:23 am
biden's 3 million public relations disaster. they tried to window dress it for the last six months. inflation was a disaster for all four years. the economy is not working for most people. that's why democrats lost the election. and that's why they're going back to trump. >> democrats lost the election. nobody is arguing that. i mean, that's what the argument was four years ago, when donald trump was filing lawsuits and they were raiding the white house. what we are saying, though, is that prices are going down. what i am saying is that -- >> they're not going down. >> hey actually are going down. >> it is decreasing in rate, which is the entire rate -- >> are prices going down or not? no. >> they are down from their sky-high rates. >> no, no, no. >> we were just arguing about combat zones. >> you're trying to paint a picture. >> i'm not painting anything. next up, sarah, help me, next up, the republican majority in congress is now getting to
6:24 am
work. they've got the talk of this big bill that they want to put forth, combining all of trump's priorities, a lot of the topics we're talking about right here, into one massive bill. it could be -- it's been described as what could be the biggest bill in american history. could this be good for democrats in getting priorities -- because what does a big bill do? you shove a whole bunch of stuff in. >> this isn't happening -- >> you think -- >> what we're going to learn, and scott knows this better than i do because of his relationship with mitch mcconnell. one of the most important people in the united states senate is the parliamentarian. democrats tried to usher in immigration reform through legislation. and that didn't happy read an article the other day from bill ackman, who said that president trump is going to privatize ferhani and freddie -- fannie and freddie.
6:25 am
you can't pass that through reconciliation. that's just not going to happen. >> a lot of people will say, it's not going to happen. but could this be what we have seen before. let's talk about, with the eyes on how mitch mcconnell has run things in the past, which is, say things out loud to road test. it and when the public relations of it is a disaster, then you can say, we can't do it this way. >> it would be an enormous piece of legislation. i think it's within the realm of the possible. i think if it comes out of the house, which is no small feat given the margins, this is usually when these things run into the senate parliamentary, they get trimmed up a little bit. but i think it's possible. what he's proposing to put in there is exactly what he ran on, immigration, energy, which is of heightened importance, because of joe biden's executive order today, on his way out the door, his staff's executive order, banning offshore drinking. you've got to deal with all of these things that he ran on. if you can get it done in one vote, that's far better than dragging this out. it's an ambitious idea. i wish them well.
6:26 am
i hope they get it done, but it's what the people voted for in the election and what every republican member of congress ran on. people shouldn't have too much voting for it. >> when people talk about, we should read the bill, it's good luck with this one. that's all i'm saying. gentlemen, thank you, i think. you want to talk about justin trudeau? >> i want to talk about canada. >> let's talk about canada! >> that's what i'm saying! there's a direct line from those truckers to what's happening today. good riddance! >> i'm sleeping and it's only monday and it's my first day back! this is hard on me. sarah, please take it. >> i'm going to take it from here. guess what i'm going to do? talk about canada! yes, ma'am! we've got some breaking news. a source is telling cnn that canadian prime minister justin trudeau will resign as party leader today. what this means for u.s. /canada relations. we will discuss. and it was a night of firsts at the golden globes. we have the emotional moments, the upsets and the snubs and the comedian's roast that won over just about everybody.

xfinity mobile. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get a free 5g phone and a second unlimited line free for a year. . today marks the final day that former president jimmy carter will lie in repose at the carter presidential library in atlanta. tomorrow morning, his casket expected to travel to washington for the next phase of his funeral services. cnn's eva mckend is live outside of the carter center. what are you learning this morning? >> well, sarah, atlanta such
6:32 am
an important city to president carter. you know, not only is it home to the globally consequential carter center, this is the city that he served as governor before he ultimately ascended to the white house. it, of course, is much different than his rural hometown community of plains, and we were spending some time there at his home church, marinatha baptist church. right now, marinatha has its first female pastor. this is something that president carter really advocated for before his passing, female leadership in the church, female pastors in the church. take a listen to how she is thinking about this moment. >> in this country where to speak bluntly, we still live in a riarchal nation. we live in a place where white men's voices are evaluated and listened to and believed more strongly than a woman.
6:33 am
so to have a president of the united states who realized within his lifetime the importance of speaking out to the harm that's been done, i am just incredibly grateful for the legacy and the work that we have to continue to do, because women are still not equal. and we have a long way to go. but his voice was one of power that was used for good. >> and sarah, president carter will continue to lie in repose until 6:00 a.m. here in atlanta tomorrow, before ultimately heading to washington, d.c. and then back to his hometown of plains. sarah? >> i know it's been raining there this morning, but we are now seeing crowds surrounding his casket there in atlanta. thank you so much, eva mckend, for your reporting this morning. kate? >> and some breaking news this morning. a source telling cnn that canadian prime minister justin trudeau will resign as party leader today, though he will remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen. let's get right over to cnn's paula newton, who's in
6:34 am
ottawa for us. paula, bring us up to speed. what are you hearing? >> that is the breaking news. at 10:45 a.m. eastern time, the prime minister is expected to hold a press conference in which we are told that he will step down as the party leader, but not as prime minister. that means he continues business as usual until a new liberal party leader can be chosen. kate, here's where things get interesting. parliament is not sitting right now. the opposition parties may have something to say about that in terms of how long this liberal party leadership race could go on. it adds to really some chaos and confusion here in canada, to begin 2025. i mean, look, kate, this is a leader who's been in office for more than nine years. he started off in something called sunny ways, right? he wanted government to be different. he definitely outlined a progressive agenda, but the polls have really plummeted for him and his party in recent months. he's behind at least 20 points of the nearest party, which is conservative leader pier
6:35 am
pauliev. on a very sunny morning here in ottawa, he is left with a person who has been told by his own legislators, his own members of the liberal party that he must go, that they do not believe that they can win the next election with him. kate, a lot of the same issues in the united states that have gone on here in canada, in terms of what canadians are worried about, inflation, legal immigration that have been putting stress on financial services, and scandals and overall the fiscal picture does not look good. but what has not helped, president- elect donald trump, i want you to look at a post from him right now, which he again has called trudeau the governor of the 51st state. and also to governor justin trudeau of canada, he says, whose citizen's taxes are far too high, but if canada was become our 51st state, their taxes would be cut more than 50%, their businesses would immediately double in
6:36 am
size. he goes on to say that the border would be more secure. look, president- elect donald trump has said that he will put 25% tariff on all imports from canada. he's not budged from that, really, despite the fact that justin trudeau went to down to mar-a-lago to sit with him and try to get through this. canadians have likely decided that he is not the best person to try to deal with this going forward. and his own deputy prime ministers, finance minister, chrystia freeland, who is likely to run for the leadership to replace trudeau, said that what trudeau is doing in recent weeks are political gimmicks and that she wanted a more robust defense against what she calls america- first policies from trump. so, a busy morning ahead with canadians still waiting to find out exactly what their government is going to look like and how it will function in the coming months, because this is uncharted territory. >> unchartered territory, that's for sure. great to see you. thank you so much, paula, for the territory.
6:37 am
this morning, what one investigator on the january 6th committee wishes he had done differently now that it is january 26th, 2025. and if you're not covered in snow right now, you may soon be. the forecast you need to hear from this relentless winter storm.
6:38 am
6:39 am
6:40 am
6:41 am
it is four years ago to the day after a mob of donald
6:42 am
trump's supporters stormed the capitol to try to stop the count of the electoral college votes. today, it is all expected to happen without incident. with us now is the former lead investigator of the january 6th committee, an author of what january 6th in charlottesville reveals about rising threat to american democracy. tim thy, so nice to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> what is the connection? >> the main one is veechb that each event started with a precipitating fact. thait they became broader forums for people to express anger at institutions and government. and that's really the core divide that we face in this country. it's no longer sort of a left versus a right divide. it's more those who believe in institutions and those who are skeptical that those institutions no longer work for them. >> and i wanted you lay that framework, because i want to take it today or frankly 14
6:43 am
days from now. if there is this movement of those fights institutions, how will those perceive it if those are pardoned? >> it doesn't hold people accountable. there has to be other or criminal responsibility for crimes. and the fact a lot of the people that organized january 6th may not ever have legal accountability, i think only exacerbates that sense that the system doesn't really work. >> do you -- when we were coming out of commercial, you said, you fear that this violence will not go away. these are, in january 6th, certainly largely trump supporters. do you anticipate that there will be violence during a trump administration? >> hard to say. there are two responses to that frustration with institutions. some of it is anger, and unfortunately, we've seen spasms of anger, like charlottesville and like january 6th. the other reaction, though, is
6:44 am
apathy. and my fear is that a lot of people in this country say, you know what, it doesn't matter. and they're all crooked. those institutions don't work for me, and they withdraw from precipitation. that gives outsize authority with people with perspectives that aren't particularly mainstream. and i think that's really dangerous. we have to combat anger and apathy just as much. >> talk about apathy for a second here. because, what are your feelings today on january 6th? i mean, you were immersed inin issues surrounding january 6th 2021. when you were working with that committee, investigating all of this, could you have imagined a moment when donald trump was facing a new inauguration at the same place that was stormed by rioters supporting him? >> no. hard to imagine that we would be back here. what's going to happen today, john, is what has happened historically, and ideally will happen hencefort, which is essentially, a rad tification of what the people decided. the people in november voted
6:45 am
for president- elect trump and his election will be certified by his opponent, who who he defeated in the election. that is the peaceful transfer of power, that is democracy, that is what regardless of party, republicans or democrats, has always happened. we had an anomaly, i hope, an anomaly in 2021, get back to normal today. >> what would you have done differently in the january 6th committee now looking back, if anything? >> not much, candidly. i think we told a story that will stand up to the test of time. we knew all along that our primary audience was history, was telling a story which would be scrutinized and carefully picked apart by scholars, by journalists, but people across the board. and i'm confident that the story that is laid out in that report, that we told in those hearings will stand the test of time. i don't have a lot of regrets about that story. >> what about the timeline, which frankly isn't on you, as much, as it is on the justice department, so say critics. they didn't start their criminal investigation until after the referral from the
6:46 am
committee. do you wish that the justice department had started everything much sooner? >> yes, absolutely. we were getting to people who had not yet been contacted by the department of justice. really central figures inside of the white house, inside of the trump administration. had they been contacted earlier. had the justice department saw what the committee saw, evidence of criminal conduct, the cases could have been brought sooner, and potentially there could have been adjudication prior to the election. >> tim hathy, thanks so much for coming this morning. kate? it is official! the start of the award season in hollywood is underway. we'll take a look at the winners and surprises from last night's golden globes.
6:47 am
6:48 am
6:49 am
6:50 am
6:51 am
hollywood's award season is upon us and kicked off last night with the golden globes. one of the highlights, demi moore, taking home her first major acting award after more than 45 years in the industry. watch. >> i've been doing this a long time, like, over 45 years, and this is the first time i've everever won anything, as an actor. and i'm just so humbled and so grateful. today, i celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me and for the gift of doing something i love and being reminded that i do belong. thank you so much. >> she won for "the substance," which she was amazing in. the big screen adaptation of the broadway hit "wicked" snagged its first major win. and "hacks" is back on top.
6:52 am
the hit series reclaiming the best television series award for musical or comedy. cnn's elizabeth wagmeister has all of the hits and maybe the misses, as well. another huge highlight for me was the host of the evening, but let's get to that in a second. start with the wins. what stood out to you. >> yeah, so this was a huge kickoff to award season, kate. it was a really good show and some surprising winners. i have to tell you, in the room, there were a lot of gasps, because people weren't sure what was going to win. and "the brutalist" came out on top along with "emilia perez" on the film side. why this matters is because this really sets the stage for the oscars. the oscars is in march. we have two months, that road all the way to the oscars, but now these two films are leading. and remember, at the oscars, they don't separate drama and comedy. so those two leading films from the globes are going to be competing against each other.
6:53 am
now, i spoke about "emilia perez", and the first one of the night came for zoa saldana. she was a first- time nominee, which is hard to imagine. she's been in the industry for so long. she gave such a powerful speech. let's take a look. >> my heart is full of gratitude. thank you so much to the golden globes for celebrating our film and honoring the women of "emilia perez." thank you so much! oh, my god! i know that it is a competition, but all that i have witnessed is just us showing up for each other and celebrating each other, and it's just so beautiful. >> now, this was really a moment of women supporting women. and the women of "emilia perez" have really been together throughout this whole press run. so again, a big night for them. and as you said, on the tv side, "hacks" was the leader on the tv side and on the drama
6:54 am
side, "shogun." not huge surprises on the television side, but more so on the film side. >> "hacks" back on top! many people are very happy about that. talk to me about kki glazer. she was hilarious. she's known to be pretty great at roasting people. but admittedly, everybody knows that hosting any of these award shows is one of the hardest thing on the planet. so what are people saying? >> it is! people always say that hosting an award show is a thankless job. that's what i always hear from comedians, because they're usually panned. but nikki glazer was the opposite. she is getting rave reviews. and i'm not surprised, because she was hilarious. let's take a look at one of the funniest moments, where she poked fun at one of the biggest entertainment stories of the year. >> and "challengers," girl, oh, my god, it was so good. i mean, that movie was more sexually charged than diddy's credit card. seriously! oh, no, i'm sorry,
6:55 am
i'm upset, too. the after-party will not be as good this year, but we have to move on. i know, a stanley tucci freakoff doesn't have the same ring to it. but no baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil. >> i mean, poor stanley tucci, right? but he took it like a champ. and she also poked fun at timothy chalamet, selena gomez' new fiancee, but everybody took it in stride. she didn't go quite there, where ricky gervais does, where he really upset some celebrities in the room. she struck a perfect balance. i sat down with her a few days ago and she said he wants to host the golden globes more than once. she wants this to be a recurring gig. i think she could asked back. she was great. >> i wish we could play more of her stuff. because it was hilarious. >> you're a big fan. >> she's been good for a very long time, but she's
6:56 am
really kind of exploded. people were really impressed by her inclusion in the roast of tom brady. >> i'm still hurting. >> that was like cruel. this was decidedly not. >> she's talked about, she does it with love. she does a lot of research. she tries to come at it with a little bit of love, then get 'em in the end. and it's kind of great. >> just like kate balduan. >> i knew he was going to say that! john's still upset. >> john, i have a question for you, john, though. so on the carpet, i have to tell you, quickly, i interviewed one of the stars of "the bear," and i actually asked them, i said, you have to settle this debate now. is "the bear" a comedy or a drama? because i know we talk about that all the time. he told me it's a comedy. and i kind of told him i didn't agree with him, but that the show is funny. >> i feel so bad for him. elizabeth wagmeister -- >> the answer is, just stop talking. >> thank you guys for joining us. we are going to go hash this out on our own. newsroom is up next.
