you know, it's kinda like when you bring a really big cake for your birthday, and then there's only a little, tiny sliver left for the birthday girl. aw. well, wish her a happy birthday. happy birthday... -it's... ...to her. -no, it's me. have your cake and eat it, too. don't settle for t-mobile or verizon 5g home internet. get super fast xfinity internet you don't have to share. forty's going to be my year. document that actually. >> counts. oh! ooh. what's that? >> that's a duck. >> start your will at trust and will.com now. >> and.

>> make it count. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you news saturday on cnn. >> europe must do the. >> heavy lifting. the uk is prepared. >> to back. >> this with boots on the. >> ground and planes in the air. this effort must have strong u.s. backing. >> it is absolutely shameful what is happening right now. the white house has become an arm of the kremlin. that state of the union speech is going to be a farce. i think it's going to be a maga pep rally. >> and the oscar goes to. >> honora. >> with you and. >> 9 to 5. >> gravity. >> hello. >> and a warm welcome to our viewers. >> joining us in the u.s. and all around the world, i'm rahel solomon. it is monday, march 3rd, 5 a.m. here in new york, 10 a.m. in london, where british prime minister keir starmer says that the west is now at a

crossroads in history as european leaders move to take control of negotiations aimed at ending the war in ukraine. at a summit in london, mr. starmer said that leaders were working to craft a plan to stop the fighting, which would then be presented to the u.s. and french president emmanuel macron telling a french newspaper that france and the u.k. have proposed a month long limited ceasefire in ukraine. the message among leaders is now clear now is the time to act. >> not every nation. >> will feel. >> able to. >> contribute, but that can't. >> mean that we sit. back. instead, those willing. >> will. intensify planning. now with real. >> urgency. >> the uk is prepared. >> to back this. >> with boots on the. >> ground and planes in the air. together with. >> others. europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in. >> our. >> continent and to. >> succeed, this effort must have strong us.

>> backing. >> now this comes just days after zelenskyy's explosive meeting with u.s. president donald trump at the white house. ukrainian president said that his country is ready to sign a rare minerals deal with the u.s., a deal that zelenskyy had been expected to sign on friday. now, despite the tensions, the ukrainian leader called the u.s. a strategic partner. >> as regards to salvaging the relationship that you asked about. i think that our relationship will continue because this is more than relationships. >> however. >> everyone can see how ukraine. is fighting for its independence and freedom, and we. >> are. >> grateful to the people of the. united states. >> from the u.s. volodymyr zelenskyy is facing criticism from officials in the trump administration after the tense exchange with president trump in the oval office. and when it comes to the rare earth minerals deal, while the u.s. treasury secretary says that that's not currently on the table. >> i don't know. >> what president zelenskyy. >> was thinking. >> we had president.

>> of france. >> emmanuel macron. >> in on monday. >> great meeting. >> we had prime minister. keir starmer on thursday. fantastic meeting. they were all on board the ark of the peace agreement. all president zelenskyy had to do was come in and sign this economic agreement and again, show no daylight, no daylight between the ukrainian people and the american people. and he chose to blow that up. >> so the deal is no longer on the table, just to be abundantly. >> clear. >> not at present. >> now, it doesn't stop there. others in the white house are even indicating that u.s. support for new leadership in ukraine. take a listen. >> we need a leader that can deal with us eventually. deal with the russians and end this war. and if it becomes apparent that president zelenskyy either personal motivations or political motivations, or divergent from ending the fighting in his country, uh, then then i think we have a real issue on our hands.

>> and cnn's clare sebastian joins me now from london. clare, great to see you. so quite the show of force among european leaders in the uk over the weekend. talk to us about what keir starmer accomplished here. >> well, i think he went into this role pretty clear. he even said so in the british media on sunday morning, that this had to be about more than just nice words, more than just expressions of unity. and they did accomplish various elements. number one, from details that we got later via a french newspaper, le figaro, speaking to emmanuel macron, some sort of technical details of what an initial truce could look like. they're proposing that an initial truce cover, you know, the war in the air, at sea and critical energy infrastructure, perhaps sort of an early start that could then move to stopping the fighting on the front lines. and, of course, eventually a lasting peace which would involve security guarantees. so this looks like it could take the shape of a sort of step by step process, although we are a long way, of course. i have to reiterate from getting to the point where both sides agreed to

something like that. he then got aid pledges, two key aid pledges from the uk. the second one on sunday, some 2 billion of air defense missiles, and there were new announcements, according to the secretary general of nato. mark rutte, in private from countries about increasing defense spending. so there were concrete actions there. the bottom line europe is clearly committed to stepping into the breach, essentially picking up some of the slack for the u.s., while at the same time really trying to keep the u.s. on side. this is, of course, a plan that they're working on that they will present to the u.s. but of course, none of that solves the animosity that we see mounting in the united states towards president zelenskyy, including, of course, calls for him to consider resigning. and he addressed that in comments on sunday. >> if i. >> am to be changed. >> and i'll. >> hear, how can i put it with what's happening with the support, it will not be easy because it is not enough to simply hold elections. you would have to prevent me from participating in the elections

and it will be a bit more difficult. you will have to negotiate with me and i said that i am exchanging it for nato membership, and then it means i have fulfilled my mission. >> i mean, take away the sensitivity of ukraine, even sort of countenancing this kind of idea of being forced to hold elections by an external power in a war where they are fighting for their own right to choose their destiny. this is the reality. president zelenskyy now faces a situation where the mineral deal, according to the treasury secretary, is off the table. so perhaps he is looking at his own position as president trump, a card that he can play in this. >> hmm. clare also getting new reaction from the kremlin now on trump's meeting with zelenskyy. what are you hearing on that on that. >> yeah, dmitry peskov, the kremlin spokesman, in a call this morning addressing events on friday and over the weekend, i think we learned two key things here. we learned, number one, that russia is clearly embracing this new world where its rhetoric aligns on various

points quite closely with that of the u.s., undermining zelenskyy being one of them, the kremlin saying that he demonstrated a complete lack of diplomatic skills in the oval office. the fact he doesn't want to concede territory, said dmitry peskov, shows his reluctance to perceive the real state of affairs on the ground. we know that the u.s. has said openly that it thinks ukraine should be prepared to give up territory. and secondly, i think that russia, you know, while claiming that ukraine doesn't want peace as the as peskov did in this call that europe's peace plan is designed to keep the war going. i think that's revealing in the world of russian rhetoric that russia is not motivated to seek peace and is perhaps laying the groundwork there to blame that situation on the other side. so nothing really has changed in the russian position. they don't seem in any mood to make any concessions and are really using the pr winds of this moment. >> yeah. >> clare sebastian live for us there in london. claire. thank you. and it was hollywood's

biggest night, with glitz and glamor on full display for the oscars. wicked stars cynthia erivo and ariana grande got the night started with a stunning performance of defying gravity from their blockbuster film. >> just you and. jabbar. >> gravity. >> with you and. i defy. gravity. >> they'll never bring us down. >> but in the end, it was the low budget independent movie honora, which took on hollywood giants and won big. mikey madison claimed the award for best actress for the title role in the film. honora also claimed the biggest prize for best picture and best director, going to sean baker. other winners included adrien brody, who took home best actor in a leading role for his work in the brutalist, in which he played a struggling immigrant architect in post-world war two america. he's getting a lot of attention for the passionate speech he gave in accepting the award.

here's a clip. >> i'm here once again. to represent. >> the. >> lingering traumas. >> and. >> the repercussions. >> of war. >> and systematic. >> oppression. and. of anti-semitism and. >> racism, and of othering. >> and i believe. >> that i pray for a healthier and a happier and a more inclusive world. >> all right. i am joined now by shagun oduwole in los angeles. he is an entertainment journalist and also host of boston globe today. so i would say thanks for waking up early with us, but you were in l.a., so thanks for staying up late to be with us. great to see you, per usual. let's just start with that performance from cynthia erivo and ariana grande. a lot of people this morning when i woke up, seemed to think that that was one of the highlights of the night. what were some of

the standouts to you and how did you receive the performance? >> well. >> let's be honest, cynthia. >> erivo and. >> ariana grande can sing the phone book and it's going to sound fantastic. um, it was a it was a it was a wonderful way to open the oscars. but honestly, for me, it felt kind of flat. not their voices. their voices soared to the rafters, but it didn't do anything for me. i mean, i've seen opening numbers from the oscars that were fun. this really felt like hollywood, uh, you know, showing itself to be like, look at us, look at us, look at us. and these are stage actors and theatrically trained performers. but this is a night for the cinema. and it didn't seem cinematic to me. it felt theatrical, and i think it missed it missed the point for me. i really wasn't moved. it's great. look, i listen to cynthia erivo sing anything. like i said, ariana, ariana grande as well. but for the oscars the whole night, it just felt kind

of like, all right, kind of mid for me. >> fair enough. you can't you can't win everybody. but how about zoe saldana's moving speech after winning best supporting actress. and we have a clip of it here. take a look. >> my grandmother came to this country in 1961. i am a proud child of immigrant parents. with dreams and dignity and hard working hands. and i am the first american of dominican origin to accept an academy award. and i know i will not be the. >> last. >> your thoughts? i mean, this is one that seems to be making a lot of the rounds this morning. >> that was so moving. i mean, zoe saldana going up there tonight was tonight was a night of firsts for many people of, uh, color. well, some people of color, i will say. and i love zoe's speech. i love what she

represented. i thought it was fantastic. and in a night where some things really missed the mark, i thought her speech was, uh, word perfect. she was not only respectful and reverent to the people that had come before her, the people that were in the great women that were in the category with her. but to stand up there and to stand out proud as a latina and say, i will not be the last, though i am. the first i thought was fantastic. >> yeah, she always seems to be such a class act, at least from from what i can see. um, these shows sometimes can also have some spectacular fails, including the performance of the host. your thoughts about conan o'brien? how did he do last night? >> yeah, you know, holding is dry. he's just dry. i, i found him to be boring. his comedy has never really been my style of comedy. i thought the drake kendrick line was actually kind of funny, but to be honest, with

everything that's kind of going on in hollywood, especially with the ryan reynolds or the blake lively, uh. lawsuit crawling out of demi and making demi moore as an object that that missed the mark completely for me. i didn't find it interesting. i found it really kind of gross. and it it set the tone for me for an oscars that was up and down, missed the mark was, as i said, mid in a lot of areas. and conan. conan was conan and this is what you get. it was his brand of humor that really doesn't appeal to everyone. >> mhm mhm. well great to have you always appreciate the hot takes. thank you. we'll see you soon i'm sure. all right. in stormy weather caused several flights to be diverted to a central texas airport late sunday evening. a houston bound plane was forced to land at waco regional airport. five passengers on skywest flight

5690 from springfield, missouri, were taken to hospital. taken to the hospital. two american airlines flights bound for dallas also diverted to waco briefly before continuing their journey across the carolinas. meantime, more than 175 wildfires are burning. the governor of south carolina has declared a state of emergency. already, 4200 acres have been torched. now, people who were forced to evacuate from the biggest carolina forest fire near myrtle beach were allowed to return to their homes on sunday. meanwhile, a brush fire caused by a downed power line spread quickly in western north carolina. one resident worries what this will do to her town, still reeling from hurricane helene last fall. >> it's devastating, absolutely devastating. i mean, it's bad enough from helene, but now we've got this. and i mean the forest. it's just it's going to be really bad. >> and dry and windy. conditions have been fanning the flames, but firefighters should get a bit of a break in the coming day as forecasts call for more

humidity and lighter winds. former new york governor andrew cuomo is back on the campaign trail. he held his first campaign event on sunday, one day after launching his bid to become new york city's mayor. a key issue for the cuomo camp is increasing the police presence throughout america's largest city. >> we need more police in our subways, more police in our high crime. >> areas, more. police to. stop the number of recidivists. >> because nothing. >> works if people. >> don't feel safe. and public safety is still job one. >> now cuomo could face an uphill battle as he enters an already crowded race and attempts to stage a political comeback. you might recall he resigned as governor in 2021 after 11 women accused him of sexual misconduct. he has denied the allegations. as cnn previously reported, cuomo's run was encouraged by the controversy surrounding the current mayor and his fellow democrat, eric adams. but adams,

who is facing and has been facing renewed scrutiny and calls to step aside amid corruption charges, remains undeterred. >> i don't. know what. >> who said it, but it's a famous quote. come one, come all. you know, we all got to come out. we can't hide in the shadows. we have to come out and give our real positions. and so i'm looking forward to it. this is campaign season. >> meantime, the u.s. secretary of health and human services, who has a history of anti-vaccine comments, is weighing in on the measles outbreak in texas. there are at least 146 confirmed cases since late january. most are among children and people who are unvaccinated. state officials say that 20 patients have been hospitalized so far, and one person has died. on sunday, fox news published an opinion piece from secretary robert f. kennedy jr., and he wrote. vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity, protecting those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons. but he also

wrote that the decision to vaccinate is a personal one. in the past, kennedy said that no vaccine is safe and effective. however, studies show the mmr vaccine is 97% effective, with no links to neurological disorders. and keeping an eye on wall street in the first trading day of march. after all three major indexes closed out february in the red, checking the u.s. futures. now it's green across the board. it's early. it's 517 eastern. but at least right now all markets are set to open higher. stocks did rise slightly in overnight trading as investors wait to see how the trump administration is going to handle its planned 25%. tariffs on mexico and canada, set to go into effect on tuesday. but also a lot of data this week we get earnings from major companies such as best buy, costco and kroger. perhaps another clue into the health of the all important u.s. consumer. friday, we also get the latest u.s. monthly jobs report. so a lot to watch there and a lot to watch

rome, where cnn's ben wedeman joins us now with the latest. ben, what is the latest on the pope's condition? what are you hearing? >> what's. >> well, what we got, rahel, the usual one line statement from the vatican this morning that the pope slept well throughout the night. since then, we've heard from sources within the vatican saying that he had breakfast. he continues to eat solids, but he is receiving high flows of oxygen through a tube, through his nose. certainly, after last friday's incident where he had a respiratory crisis during which he vomited. there has been increased concern about his situation, even though a vatican officials continue to describe his current medical state as stable, but not out of danger quite yet. this is now day 18 that the 88 year old pontiff has been here at gemelli

hospital in rome, and the prognosis continues to be described by doctors as guarded. they basically don't know at this point when he's going to leave the hospital. they want to obviously keep him under very constant and close observation, given that he does have a history of respiratory problems in addition to mobility issues and sciatica. so clearly they feel that he needs to stay in the. hospital, continues to receive treatment for double pneumonia. and as i said that at this point, it's not clear at all when he is going to leave hospital. nonetheless, yesterday he did have somebody read a statement for the angelus, the sunday prayers that he normally gives above saint peter's square, but obviously in his current state, he's not able to

do that. >> stable, but under close observation. ben wedeman live for us there in rome. ben, thank you. now, to outrage in the middle east as israel stops the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza and ceasefire talks between israel and hamas break down. now, food trucks are just sitting at egypt's border. but israel says that there will be no relief for gaza until hamas agrees to extend the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, a move that the u.s. supports. >> there will be no free lunches if hamas thinks that the ceasefire can continue, or that it can benefit from the terms of phase a without us receiving hostages. it is deeply mistaken. >> now, hamas has rejected extending the first phase of the agreement. it wants to move to the ceasefire's second stage. but the stalled situation leaves many people facing uncertainty. >> i hope the truce lasts and

that these wars finally end. our children are terrified of the bombings. we want peace for ourselves and our kids. enough destruction. we don't even have a place to live. >> all right. still ahead for us. dozens of people were killed. when two busses collide head on in bolivia. we will have the latest on what investigators believe happened here. plus, president trump will soon address a congress ruled by republicans who support him nearly without reservation. as we take a live look at washington as democrats meantime plot their response. we're going to take a short break, and we'll be right back. >> have i. >> got news for you? >> is back. >> let's think of some new games. >> to play. >> what do you got? yes. >> something like. >> uh oh. >> what? keep playing the same games. >> yeah. >> do the. >> same games. have i got news for you? >> saturday at nine on. >> cnn.

>> get your. >> podcasts. >> welcome back. u.s. president donald trump will face lawmakers on tuesday, addressing a joint session of congress for the first time in his second presidential term. it's an opportunity for mr. trump to reassure voters about his leadership. since he took office, we have seen the president's indiscriminate firings of federal workers, threats of massive tariffs on u.s. allies and his explosive white house meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. a cnn poll taken before that meeting with zelenskyy shows that a majority of americans are unhappy with how president trump is doing his job. 52% disapprove of his performance, 48% approve. now, trump's speech will give critics a chance to voice their opposition to his actions and policies. but as arlette saenz reports, it's not exactly clear how they plan to do it. >> democrats will face a fresh test this week as they're looking to counter president trump's joint address to congress. democratic leaders are

hoping to present a united front, as they are trying to argue that trump's actions in his first six weeks in office, and the plans that republicans want to pursue in the coming months will not help, but instead will hurt the american people. one way they're trying to highlight that is by bringing guests to the state of the union, who are individuals who have been negatively impacted by trump's early moves. that could include fired federal workers and other individuals who might be involved with programs that were subjected to those funding freezes in these early weeks. now, democrats have also chosen democratic senator elissa slotkin of michigan to deliver the official rebuttal to trump's remarks. it's an interesting choice because slotkin is a freshman senator who was one of only two freshman senators to actually win in a battleground state that trump won back in november. she is often talked about the need for democrats to talk about kitchen

table issues in order to win back voters in the upcoming elections. now, while that is a big focus of the democratic response, there are some who are considering not attending this speech at all. one of those is democratic senator chris murphy, who has really been a leading voice in the pushback against trump. here is why he has decided not to attend that speech on tuesday night. >> i think that state of the union speech is going to be a farce. i think it's going to be a maga pep rally, not a serious talk to the nation. we're going to stop that billionaire takeover, that destruction of our democracy, only by fighting them every single day. a lot of democrats think maybe you should, you know, fight every third day. you should reserve your power and jump out of the bushes at the right moment. i just think that we have to be on the offensive 24 seven. >> now for the democrats, who are in the house chamber on tuesday night, they will also have to decide whether to try to respond or react to trump in real time. on the spot. former house speaker nancy pelosi, who

famously ripped up the speech that trump delivered during his last state of the union as president. she is urging democratic lawmakers to exercise some caution, saying in an interview that they should essentially just let trump stew in his own juice. it all comes as democrats really have struggled to stop trump's actions in the first six weeks of his presidency, and they also have yet to settle on a cohesive message and strategy for how to push back on those actions. but the varying tactics of democrats will be on display during this speech, as democrats are still trying to find their way out of the political wilderness. arlette saenz, cnn washington. >> okay, let's welcome in margaret talev, a senior contributor to axios, also the director for the institute of democracy, journalism and citizenship at syracuse university, joins me now from washington. margaret, always a pleasure to have you. before we get to the dems there, and what arlette was sort of responding to there, how they disagree over

the best strategy for them right now. let's just begin with trump and what you're expecting to hear from him from tomorrow. coming off of that really explosive event with zelenskyy on friday. what does he say tomorrow? >> look. >> i think the. >> joint address. >> is going. to be an opportunity. >> for the. >> president to try to explain his. >> actions so far. >> and we've seen. him do. >> a few of. >> these before so we. >> know he will declare victory, whatever. >> victory means. >> in his first. >> um, you know, couple of his first month in office, first month in a. >> couple. >> of weeks. >> so i would. >> expect to hear. >> his analysis of the negotiations so far with zelenskyy framed in what he will see as a positive light. >> and you can certainly. >> see that being previewed with the sunday show tour of many trump. administration officials and allies across government, sort of, uh, solidifying his message. >> over and over again. >> you know, it's interesting that you mentioned the

democratic response from slotkin, because not only is this someone who won in a swing state, but think about her background. remember, she got her. >> start. >> as a. >> cia analyst and then went on. >> to work at both the department. >> of defense and department of state. so i think as democrats try to figure out what their overall message. >> may be and sort of how to. >> play. it as. you play there in your comments, she is someone whose sort of resume and experience at least can tell that story. >> yeah. and which side of that do you think her comments fall on? because, as arlette pointed to there, as we've heard over the weekend, from top dems, from top democratic strategists, there seems to be a real division in the party about whether to just sort of sit back and in the words of some, just sort of let trump self-destruct in their words or whether to go on the offensive. what do you think we hear from her? >> yeah. when it comes to. >> ukraine in particular, what you saw initially was almost.

>> um, sort of. >> rock solid support among republicans for the president's tactics at that meeting on friday. but as a little bit more time has passed, you see some divisions and ukraine has the potential, not because of the country of ukraine, but. because of what it would mean. >> for the u.s. to split from europe after 75 years, what it would mean for the u.s. to. >> realign more. >> closely to russia. you do see a. >> split among republicans. >> you saw. >> murkowski, senator murkowski, say that she. >> was sick. >> to her stomach. you saw senator lankford. say that a forced, uh, you know. >> a push to. >> force out. >> zelenskyy, which is. >> what. >> you're beginning to see the. >> trump administration play with, could create chaos in europe. >> so if if ukraine does become an issue that divides. >> republicans, you can understand. >> why democrats would. >> want to get out of the way. but on the. >> other hand, when you're looking at. >> tariffs, you're. >> looking at doge. >> these mass firings, many americans do want to see.

>> some leadership from democrats, sort of a. >> counterpoint to. >> the trump. administration's point. so how they articulate. >> that and. >> who articulates it? >> you know, i think. >> we're going to. >> see and the tone that. >> trump sets in those remarks on tuesday may set the pace for the democrats. >> responses. >> and what about how trump articulates his plans on the economy? i mean, obviously, there are clearly pressing foreign policy issues at the moment, ukraine being just one of them. but for a lot of americans, their most pressing issue is the economy. and on this, voters say they're not seeing enough progress. you had the cbs news poll suggesting that, at least according to this poll, some 52% of respondents say that trump's policies are actually making prices go in the opposite direction. go up. so, margaret, how much does he lean into this tomorrow? how much does he need to? >> right. >> uh, the polling is always sort of a lagging indicator on this because it takes some time for most americans who are not as immersed in the news. it doesn't. americans who don't

wake up every day consuming news and go to sleep every night consuming. it takes some time for the impacts to be felt. what we saw in the early weeks of the administration was americans. the americans who voted for trump being quite happy. but as time has gone on, many weeks later, you're seeing eggs, uh, coursing upwards, not downwards. i think this is a real it's going to become his problem. he has hung in on president biden, but now will become president trump's responsibility. what happens to the economy? so i think we'll hear him make a case that, uh, you know, anything good that's happening, he should get credit for it. anything bad that's happening, the former administration should get credit for. but in the end, how you spin it only goes so far. americans are experiencing what they're experiencing. and as joe biden learned in his term, um, they will they will blame the administration that's in charge if they don't like the way their pocketbook experiences go. >> yeah, their experiences and

how they feel about those experiences. margaret talev, great to have you. thank you. you too. thanks. now to bolivia. yep. at least 38 people are dead, more than 35 injured after two busses collided in southwestern bolivia on saturday. the crash happened when one of the busses swerved into oncoming traffic. the incident is under investigation, but authorities believe that speeding was a factor. a big night for aurora will have more on the oscars. and what's special about that film when we come back? >> united states of scandal with jake tapper returns sunday at nine on cnn. >> for years, one. >> supplement claimed it improved memory. but the truth it can't support those claims. choose nervive plus, which supports six brain health indicators, including memory, with clinically tested ingredients. it's time to switch to nariva. >> you know what i love about quick hit slots? it's the mobile slots game that gives you those authentic vegas thrills. quick

>> not only for. >> her performance, but for the trajectory of herself as a person. >> who had come into. >> this great recognition all. >> of. >> a sudden, after having been. >> deemed a washout. um, but i have to admit, mikey madison was the right choice. you know why she was the best performance in that category? mikey madison is a 25 year old actress. she plays a stripper from brooklyn who gets involved with the son of a russian oligarch. and it's a kind of wild and wooly screwball sex comedy. and this girl, a woman, mikey madison, is fearless and really a brilliant actress. i couldn't be happier for her. >> yeah, certainly a great night for her. um, maybe not such a great night for hulu. >> well, what what particular are you referring to? >> well. >> i mean that they sort of crashed and burned. >> yeah, basically. i mean, viewers reported having issues streaming sort of ala netflix. >> it was terrible because a lot

of subscribers found that the telecast was over before it was over. and they didn't get to see who won, actor or actress and best picture. and those are the three biggest awards. >> yeah. in addition to mike. yeah. in addition to mikey madison, any major surprises of the night for you? >> you know what i have to say? everything was extremely predictable. there was one that was kind of up in the air. which was best international film. and it would have been emilia pérez, which was my favorite movie of the year, a really thrillingly original movie about a trans character, a musical. uh, but once the old tweets of the star carla gascon came out and they were very toxic tweets, we knew that that star was fading. and i'm still here. brazilian film was going to win that category, and it did. other than that, you really could have bet on your pool with your friends and won a lot of money. everything was just exactly the way they said it was going to be. >> how about zoe saldana and her speech? i mean, so heartfelt, so

moving. um, just i think one of the highlights, i mean, you're seeing in the reviews this morning, it's just one of the moments that so many people are talking about. >> she won best supporting actress for amelia perez, and the controversy about the movie didn't hurt her chances of winning. and i knew it wouldn't, because her performance is that strong. she plays the lawyer who works with the trans character on transitioning, uh, and creating a whole new life. and yes, her speech was beautiful and, uh, was a lot about her grandmother being an immigrant and a lot about zoe being the first dominican, i believe, to win the oscar. um, dominican. yeah. >> she said she's the first, but not the not the last. >> hopefully she won't be. but it was a very heartfelt speech. i thought she should have talked more about the trans community. there was really not a lot of talk about that at all. uh, from the other winners either for that movie. but it still. look, zoe saldana is someone who's been in avatar movies and the

avengers franchise, but it took this oddball international film for her to get recognized as a great actress. so this is a great turn of events for her. >> yeah, perhaps well overdue. it was. it was a great, great moment to see. michael musto, appreciate you. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, we'll show you a brand new images of the moon. stay with us. we'll be right back. >> life doesn't. come with an owner's manual. freedom is getting to write. >> your own. >> so get 10% off a jeep wrangler. or get into a jeep grand cherokee where freedom. >> is. >> on road or off where it's a front. >> row seat to the city or a second. >> row seat, maybe even a third. >> life doesn't come with an. >> owner's manual. so get out there and write your own. during the jeep president's day. >> sales event. >> get 10% below msrp for an average of $5,700 under msrp on these 2024 jeep wrangler models. see your local jeep brand dealer today. still have. >> moderate to. >> severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease. symptoms after
