reinvented to a cost. yes it was very interesting you know 3 hours 15 minutes and you know there were no musical performances and no host and very few presenters and actresses were there because of the cold it restrictions i'll be honest with you i really missed having a host and having live performances and having all those kind of spontaneous moment like oring pizza like they did a couple years ago he's so i missed that you know but we got something different this year we got a lot more speeches that were more meaningful for people to just focus on that i really really like that tyler perry made a great speech after receiving that humanitarian award where he talked about you know he wanted to see everybody kind of come together and stop hating so much and how there's just so much and so many divisive and polarizing things happen so it was really nice for him to try to separate known as just being more human it was really nice to see that i want to talk about to have a scene in a while but i wonder. if you thought there were any surprises among the c.s. when it was. yes you know what i think

a lot of people thought that chat with the late chat with bozeman would win for a moderate he's bought and they said it was a shoo in he would have the best actor category not so it was anthony hopkins for the father so that was a bit surprising i think the other ones you know matt land winning best picture and also best director with close out that was not surprising it was nice and historical but not surprising the say the least people have really said that no man's land was what struck a nerve and was going to win refreshment so i mean that the oscars have been criticized in the possible for that lack of diversity this year we're talking about the black has just because it has change finally come to hollywood. it has come i mean we still have a long way to go here in hollywood i'll be honest with you but you know you saw the make up in the costume going to mar a nice bottom up with the black cast and what not so they want you had performers of asian descent winning with best supporting actress winning for minority and that

was nice not a lot more diversity i think it was more than 70 women and all the categories that were nominated so it was nice to see that hollywood still has a long way to go we still have not seen a black woman win the best actress category since halle berry went decades ago so we still have our way to go all right that's k.j. matthews reporting for us from los angeles thanks k.j. good to see you. here. and some sports now the bundesliga title race is unexpectedly he seen up on match day $31.00 off the tee fall. knew that anything less than a win at home to start would effectively hand the title to you guessed it by munich so lucky for them though the visit is well in an obliging mood. putting the bones surprise last month on saturday meant that leipzig went into this one knowing the to win would keep the championship race alive for another much day. under task
