and a huge morning for hollywood's biggest stars. yep, awards season is under way. the biggest movies and tv shows of the year in the spotlight. will bffs jennifer lawrence and amy schumer go head-to-head? who will go home golden? ♪ good morning, america. here we go. award season is kicking off this morning with the golden globe nominations on the road to the oscars and, michael, do you have your speech ready for "magic mike". >> i'm getting my outfit together. maybe with that movie i don't need an outfit. >> may be about that. >> that might guarantee the nomination. >> guarantee a lot of things, george, that we really don't want to go into. >> okay. well, we'll get to that in a little bit. right now donald trump still dominating the headlines. we have his rival candidate marco rubio standing by live.

we begin with the fbi's intense search for answers in that terror attack. the head of the agency says the killers were radicalized before they even met. now the feds trying to unlock the secrets on their phones and computers. abc's matt gutman starts us off in san bernardino, good morning, matt. >> reporter: federal authorities are telling us that the couple had encryption software on its devices making it difficult to determine whether they were inspired by isis or directed by the terror group. this morning abc news learned syed farook and tashfeen malik not only tried to destroy their data but encrypted some as well. >> there's no doubt that the use of encryption is part of terrorist trade craft now. >> reporter: telling abc news they were only to crack some of their phones, computers and thumb drives. what did they salvage? pictures of farook's phone of this san bernardino high school with its 2500 students. was it a target? >> we're working very hard to understand did they have other plans? >> reporter: what is clear

investigators say plans were laid years before. farook may have been radicalized in 2012. and by late 2013, farook and malik were exchanging their visions online. >> talking about jihad and martyrdom before they were engaged and married. >> reporter: investigators checking whether they were a match made specifically for terror. >> at least in this one instance the jihadi websites and chat rooms prove to be a match-making service. the fbi will now be looking to see if this pattern occurred elsewhere. >> reporter: and also looking to see whether malik was brought into the country on that fiancee visa to set up the sleeper cell striking mayhem when it activated. investigators are learning how malik made it to the u.s. on the visa, if she had been fantasizing about terror online for years and whether other terrorist matchmakers have infiltrated their people using

those visas. robin. >> thank you, matt. the investigation continues. now to those deadly storms pummeling the pacific northwest. the governor of washington declaring a state of emergency, more than a foot and a half of rain falling in some areas and 12 states on alert this morning. abc's neal karlinsky is in carnation, washington, where flooding and mudslides are ripping apart homes. good morning, neal. >> reporter: robin, good morning. what a mess out here. this bridge is closed and with good reason. if we were to actually drive further down we'd be under water. the water is going over the top of the bridge and this river just one of many causing all kinds of problems. this morning, washington state under a state of emergency after a relentless series of storms has left parts of the pacific northwest swimming in floodwaters. >> it's crazy, i've never seen anything like this and happened so quick. >> reporter: the last 48 hours have seen rescues including pets, sinkholes and mudslides. >> everything was shaking. everything went black. >> reporter: near portland one

woman drowned when her car got stuck in this creek. and a tree fell on this house killing a 60-year-old woman while she was sleeping. outside seattle, the family inside this home barely escaped as an entire hillside crashed through their waterfront home. you can see where the hillside came down, it absolutely shredded the underside of this house here. there's a car, it took trees down with it. much of this house was actually pushed out and into the water. the truck went through the house. >> the truck went through the house. all of the brick wall got swept away. >> reporter: floodwaters have mostly swamped rural areas. a so-called pineapple express of warm, tropical moisture that blew in like a fire hose. the governor says the state of emergency out here actually covers storms that started ten days ago. it has been a really rainy month out here leaving a real mess behind, robin. >> it's not over, neal. thank you. another storm taking aim at the pacific northwest, isn't that right, ginger. >> that's it. it's been a series of storms.

very latest is hitting now. see that low pressure system circulating here on the satellite radar put together as it slams the pacific northwest today through tonight, here are some of the things you'll see. the flood watches that stay intact from northern california through coastal washington state, the winter storm warnings and advisories that go for montana back to the sierra. one to two feet of snow and wind advisories, this is why. gusts up to 30, 40 miles per hour in some of the cities, gusts higher in some of the mountain areas and look at vegas by tonight, 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts. wait till you see how big the waves will get. more than 30 feet in some places. >> wow. okay, thanks very much. we move on to donald trump. the attacks on the republican front-runner not letting up, boxing legend muhammad ali among the latest to weigh in on his plan to ban muslims from entering the country and his business interests taking a hit too but poll numbers strong, some of his highest out in a brand-new poll and not backing down at all. tom llamas is tracking the story. >> reporter: good morning.

it's more than muhammad ali. now the navy s.e.a.l. commander who oversaw the bin laden raid talking about the dangers of his plan as reports show some muslims abroad no longer want to do business with trump. overnight, donald trump separating himself even further from muslims world wide saying he doesn't need the help of arab nations to go after terrorists overseas. >> now, would you cede that you need arab-muslim nations to help the united states defeat the jihad? would you cede that? >> no, i don't but i do think it would be very helpful. >> reporter: this as trump claims his proposed ban on muslims coming to the u.s. isn't about religion at all. >> this is about security. it's not about religion. this is about security. we cannot allow people to come into this country that have horrible things on their mind. >> reporter: while hillary clinton telling voters, trump's plan is actually hurting the war

on terror. >> donald trump is supplying them with new propaganda. he is playing right into their hands. >> reporter: and boxing great muhammad ali who is muslim releasing this statement. "i believe that our political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of islam and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people's views on what islam really is" also weighing in, one of the world's greatest terrorist hunters, retired navy admiral william mccraven. he oversaw the navy s.e.a.l. operation that killed osama bin laden. here's his take on trump's ban on muslims. >> when we get to that point then isis has won so we can't go down that path. we cannot restrict muslims from coming into the united states. >> reporter: so the big question, how is all of this affecting trump? a new poll out of south carolina. guess what it shows, donald trump up 20 points.

his biggest lead ever in south carolina. dr. carson, senator cruz and senator rubio tied for second essentially. two big points. this is trump's biggest lead in south carolina since he started running and, second, this was conducted before and after his call to ban muslims from coming into the u.s. george. >> okay, tom, let's talk to senator marco rubio right now, also running for president on the republican side. welcome back. you called mr. trump's proposal outlandish, offensive and unconstitutional. so why would you still support him if he's the nominee? >> well, first of all he's not going to be the nominee. i'm pretty confident of that so let's continue moving forward on this campaign where i think we'll nominate someone who has a chance to win in the general election. that's what i'm going to focus on. >> let me interrupt you. you say he's not going to be the nominee but at 35% not only in that poll but new "the new york times"/cbs poll has him at 35%. you're only at 9%. >> i know, george, but you've been following politics for a long time and most of the people that are leading in december very rarely win in january and february and march when these

votes start to count so i'm not going to hyper ventilate about polls and not do what the media has fallen into, we had a paige terrorist attack on u.s. soil a week ago yesterday and all the talk you charging the newscasts are dominated by this plan that's never going to happen. this will never become the law of the country, what donald trump is proposing. let's focus on the things we can do something about, which is how these people in san bernardino carried out this attack and the others who are out there perhaps even within the homeland even as i speak that are attempting to carry out similar attacks and so we need to refocus back on the important issue of terrorism, particularly as it applies to attacks here in the homeland because this is a growing threat and we're not spending nearly enough time focused on that. >> on that issue secretary clinton is making the argument the whole gop field is cut from the same cloth. watch this. >> they are all driving the exact narrative that jihadists want to advance.

that we are at war, not with barbarists, violent murderers, but with an entire religion. this is a grave mistake. >> your response? >> my response is that there isn't a place on earth where america is stronger or safer after hillary clinton was secretary of state or barack obama has been president. ask me. ask them. what part of the world today is safer or more stable and america stronger after seven years of clinton and obama in charge of our foreign policy? so she really has no credibility to talk about these issues. the truth is that there are elements within islam that are radicalized and that believe that it is their obligation and duty to kill or enslave anyone who does not agree with their interpretation of their faith. we need to confront it for what it is, an ideological movement that attempts to enslave and kill people that do not agree with them. the sooner we realize that the better our strategy to confront them is going to be.

they cannot be contained. they must be defeated. >> senator ted cruz is coming on strong and new polls put him ahead in iowa and says we need to carpet bomb isis. says i don't know if sand can glow in this dark but we're going to find out. would that be part of your strategy, as well? >> well, we're going to increase air strikes but you cannot defeat isis simply from air strikes. there is to the a single military official active or inactive that says we can defeat them simply from the air. they would have to be confronted on the ground. it must be a coalition of which the bulk is made up of sunni arab, the kurds are doing a great job in the kurdish areas. we should empower christians to defend themselves in their areas and their families but the bulk of that ground force needs to be arab sunnis that reject ideologically and defeat militarily isis and they will need our help. we will have to increase the number of special operators to call in the air strikes and need more logistical and intelligence support and we'll need more support from egypt, the saudi arabia, jordan and the uae, other kingdoms immediately impacted by isis' presence in the region but they must be

defeated on the ground. we will not be able to defeat them from the air simply. >> thanks for your time. >> thanks. now to chicago. hundreds of protesters taking to the streets last night demanding that the mayor and president obama's former chief of staff rahm emanuel resign. the latest fallout from the teenager who was shot to death by a police officer. abc's alex perez has the story. >> reporter: this morning, chicago mayor rahm emanuel apology -- >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: -- falling on deaf ear hundreds of protesters demanding he resign. >> who got to go? >> all: rahm emanuel. >> reporter: overnight frustrated demonstrators taking to the streets. >> we are calling for the resignation of mayor rahm emanuel. >> reporter: emanuel under scrutiny for weeks after the release of this dash cam video showing an officer shooting 17-year-old laquan mcdonald who later died. video city attorneys fought to keep under wraps. >> i own it.

i take responsibility for what happened because it happened on my watch. >> reporter: since the dash cam in the case at least two other videos of police misconduct have been made public. the normally combative mayor choking back emotion as he described a question a young man who has had run-ins with the law asked him. >> do you think the police would ever treat you the way they treat me? and the answer is, no, and that is wrong. and that has to change in this city. >> reporter: but the emotion for some not enough. >> the political theater surrounded around today is so disingenuous. >> reporter: protesters vowing to keep the pressure on and emanuel insists he will not resign and says his newly created task force will have concrete solutions for the police department here by the end of march. robin. >> all right, alex, thanks. amy with the other top stories. a new terror arrest. the fbi arrested a minnesota man accused of supporting

terrorists in syria and iraq. the 20-year-old somali-american apparently helped a group of men trying to leave the u.s. and then join isis. and the man accused of gunning down three people at a colorado planned parenthood declared himself guilty in court. robert dear called himself a warrior for the babies. his lawyer says dear may not be mentally competent to stand trial. well, the middle class is no longer the economic majority in america. middle class americans now make up just under half the population. 49.9% according to the pew research center, compare that to the early '70s when the middle class made up 61% of the population. >> sometimes a long shot isn't so long. take a look at the end of the high school basketball game the team trailing by two. >> whoa. >> wow. >> a full shot and did it with one arm did you see that. one arm.

"joy." jennifer lawrence. >> can meet and make whatever opportunities they can. >> will face off against bff amy schumer in "train wreck."

all just a few minutes away, guys. >> we love those calls when we wake them up, don't we, chris. >> pretty loose. always have fun that night. >> different with the golden globes. maybe because alcohol is served. >> you have the bar. >> perhaps that could be. i don't want to judge but could be. ginger, we didn't need coats today. >> no, it's 50 in new york city and that mild air is doing its job. watch this. nine days ago the snow cover across the u.s., remember we had that snow and look at it now. very little left. only 10% snow cover. the mild air, it is sticking through the weekend especially anywhere east of kansas city. there are still some snowy cities. we want to get them now.

donald trump is facing serious backlash for some of the things he said on the campaign trail. this morning he could be in hot water for what he said under oath before running for office about his relationship with a convicted felon who once was tied to organized crime. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with that story. good morning, brian. >> good morning. with the possible exceptions of george washington and abraham lincoln american politicians have a well established record of outrageous statements and stretching the truth. but in the case of donald trump, his critics now say he crossed a line between stretching the truth and telling lies. trump's statements about muslims and the 9/11 attacks have raised the biggest questions about his truthfulness. including his unsupported and widely denied claim that thousands of arabs in new jersey celebrated after the attacks. >> thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. >> reporter: then trump went after a reporter, serge kovaleski who said trump was

wrong about the alleged new jersey celebration appearing to mock him and his disability. >> ah, i don't know what i said, ah, i don't remember. >> reporter: trump said he wasn't mocking the reporter because he did not know what he looked like. >> i don't know him. >> reporter: but the reporter said they met many times and were once on a first name basis. >> raise your hand please. >> reporter: now there are questions about what trump said under oath in a civil lawsuit about one of the people who helped develop the trump soho hotel and condominium in new york city. the man on the right with trump at the hotel launch party. felix sater, a twice convicted felon once tied to organized crime and a massive stock scam someone trump maintains he barely knows in his videotaped testimony obtained by abc news, trump said he could not even recall what sater looked like. >> if he were sitting in the room right now i really wouldn't know what he looked like. >> reporter: but an abc news investigation found sater, an executive at a real estate

company was actively involved in a number of proposed deals with trump. here they were at a gathering in denver in 2005 and in 2010 three years after sater's mob ties became public the trump organization issued sater business cards identifying him as a senior adviser to donald trump with a trump organization e-mail address and phone number. trump's lawyer says sater was an independent broker but no deals came out of it. whatever the relationship, it appears to be very much a sore point for trump. >> why didn't you go to felix sater and say you're connected with the mafia, you're fired? >> reporter: two years ago trump cut short a bbc interview after being pressed about sater. >> i hate to do this but i have that big group of people waiting -- >> hold on. one last question. >> reporter: he later said under oath he did not remember being interviewed by the bbc. >> do you recall doing the interview? >> no, i don't. >> trump wouldn't agree to be interviewed by us at all about sater, instead sent his lawyer who told us about the convicted

felon you can't do background checks on everyone. >> yet his number, trump's numbers continue to rise and stay strong. >> absolutely true. >> stronger than ever. coming up, the popular new app millions of teens are using to post anonymously. new safety concerns. one college stepping up security in a major way arming police with semiautomatic weapons. we'll talk about that. come on back. semiautomatic weapons. we'll talk about that. come on back.

we are back at 7:41 with the new app being used by teens that's causing concern among parents. it's called after school and it lets kids speak to each other anonymously. abc's mary bruce is in washington with much more on all this. good morning, mary. >> reporter: hi, good morning, robin. the company says that over 75% of high schools in the u.s. have pages on their app. kids tell us it's becoming more popular than facebook. but this morning there are new concerns about what teens are

really talking about behind these closed digital doors. it's a high-tech outlet for teenage expression. a hot new app called after school being used by millions of high schoolers across the country to anonymously express their feelings. but this morning, many are wondering if the app is a safe space for sharing or a danger zone for anonymous threats. here's how it works, someone creates a message board for an entire school where students can comment or post images. to gain access the app which is free verifies through facebook that a student in fact goes to that school. and lets them post without using their names. no parents or adults are allowed. >> no adults are allowed to be there at all breaks one of my first rules for parents which is, you should be where your kids are online. >> reporter: tenth grader tucker ellison says he sees more negative posts than positive. >> everything is anonymous. they almost feel welcome to post inappropriate content. >> reporter: his mom sara thinks

the app needs to go. >> once in a while you'll see a positive post. but for the most part it's kids hiding behind that screen and bullying. >> reporter: the app even has been used to make violent threats. one school in kansas recently went into lockdown after one person wrote, i hope all students are ready to die today. the app's moderators alerting the district and police before banning the poster. and in michigan a 17-year-old posted, i'd rather take my ar 15 to school and practice on my classmates than to the gun range. that student pleaded guilty to making a terrorist threat. the app's co-founder says they're taking action. >> we're committed to parents and schools because we're all on the same team. and we've made it our goal to become the safest social network and create a safe and positive environment. >> reporter: the app says they've added content filters, parental controls and a report button so students can flag inappropriate posts.

and if users seem distressed, the app asks if they want to talk to a counselor about their problems. now, the app says that over 50,000 teens have been helped by those crisis counselors and even though it's anonymous, if any dangerous behavior is detected, the app is able to determine a student's location through their phone and alert authorities. the makers of the app insist they are taking the necessary steps to ensure this is a safe refuge for teens. robin. >> all right, mary, thank you. all right, parents on the desk. what say you? >> putting the parental controls seems to make a big difference. no way our kids could have something we couldn't look at. >> your parents can't look at it. >> i don't like anything i can't look at. >> i don't like anything anonymous. a recipe for disaster. >> we'll see. coming up, puppy love. the first ever dogs born from ivf. and the paris attack has tributes to so many. wait till you see what superstar has taken to the street for a surprise performance next.

investigators also looking into whether a san bernardino area high school was a target for the couple after pictures of that school were found on a phone they tried to destroy. and some breaking news overseas. authorities in geneva, switzerland, have raised the terror alert level in that city after reports of as many as four suspects linked to the paris attack may be in that city. the police search is under way right now. and a controversial plan is turning heads on one university campus. in the wake of recent mass shootings, northeastern university is giving its police force more firepower. abc's linzie janis has that story. >> reporter: after the latest mass shooting in san bernardino, northeastern university announcing a controversial plan to arm campus officers with semiautomatic rifles. >> just knowing they are around already makes me feel safer. >> reporter: but the boston police department doesn't think this is necessary. telling abc news, "what concerns the bpd is when we hear of certain campus police departments that are nestled

within city neighborhoods make decisions like this without including the boston police and other community stakeholders." northeastern says the rifles will be deployed in campus police vehicles during high-level threats telling abc news, "our officers are trained to employ a number of capabilities to protect the campus community including the use of tactical rifles if necessary." communities across the country are now preparing for the worst. in indiana state police for the first time offering active shooter training to local residents. this instructional video used to show just how crucial those first few moments are. >> be prepared to fight if it comes to that. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, new york. >> all right, linzie, thank you. and at least one retailer is taking swift action over that frightening video we showed you yesterday. a self-balancing hoverboard bursting into flames at a mall after its battery overheated. overstock.com has now stopped selling hoverboards because of

>> we were all just telling our favorite melissa stories. love her. >> she is amazing. she really is amazing. >> want to see "bridesmaids" again. >> there was something she was saying about the clothing line and you don't realize this. sometimes with the larger sizes they would put it in a separate place in the department store. and she was really big about, no, just having it all there together and not just wanting her clothing to do that but for all of them to have them all in the same place. you don't want to be separated. don't want to be isolated. >> where you're going to shop but something else that kind of isolates a lot of couples and pits them against each other. >> what's that? >> apparently couples can argue about anything, all right. but the latest arguments are over expiration dates but do they really tell you when your food has gone bad? i've always wondered that. well, we have found a story that was first found in "the wall street journal" and abc's mara schiavocampo has more on it. >> reporter: see this jug of milk, mika sebti wants to toss it. >> this is three days past. >> reporter: but her boyfriend matt peterson says, not so fast.

>> smells good. >> reporter: so goes a common argument for this couple about food expiration dates. matt often ignores the dates on food relying on a sniff test or a taste test. >> that's disgusting. >> reporter: but mika believes that not sticking to the package date could make her sick. >> there's usually a little bit of a debate and i'll be guarding the garbage pail while she tries to get past me. >> i'll throw it away when he's not around. >> reporter: turns out they're not alone. in one study of attitudes toward expiration dates, 47% of women checking the dates compared to just 41% of men. >> generally speaking, women are more cautious when it comes to taking risks with expired food because women are the managers of the family. >> reporter: they're common labels on everything from milk to eggs to canned goods, words

like best by, use by and enjoy by and sell by. but what do they actually mean? >> they don't mean anything. >> reporter: that's right. "consumer reports"' dr. michael hansen says these are not expiration dates. >> what most people think it means is the food is not safe after that date. could be hauz douse. >> reporter: thanks in part to this confusion, an estimated $160 billion worth of food goes to waste every year. remember, the dates are often set by the manufacturer to indicate when food is at its best defining when it's really good, not when it's gone bad. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. >> now i fancy myself as someone who knows about expiration dates and what is good and what's not even if it's past the date but we have lifestyle expert chi-lan lieu who is here to put me and amy to the test to see who knows best regarding expiration dates in a he said/she said challenge. so we're going to -- >> i accept that challenge, michael. >> you accept that challenge. >> we're going to get down now,

guys. >> we'll start with dairy. we have yogurt. we have milk. we have eggs and mozzarella cheese which lasts the longest out of all the cheeses. am i correct with that. >> i don't know. let's see what amy thinks. >> which do you think would last the longest? >> i'm going to go with the eggs. >> ooh. >> you're going to go with eggs? i'm going to go with the mozzarella cheese. >> all right. we've got eggs. we've got mozzarella cheese. let's break it down. people forget how fragile milk is. this will last five to seven days after the date you see on the container. yogurt, seven to ten from the top. mozzarella, one to two weeks and we get to the eggs. that's three to four weeks. >> what? >> so sorry. >> and the way to check for freshness of the eggs, just look at the egg white. >> i'm sorry. >> the cloudier, the fresher one -- >> never hurt me. and next we're going to go to grains. we have boxed cereal, we have bread and we have pasta. amy. >> i'm going to go with the pasta. >> i am with you with the pasta. >> you guys are champions. oh, my goodness. good job, so, bread, you're going to get five to seven days.

for the cereal you get six to eight months, just take all the air out of the bag, roll it tight. pasta, one to two years in your pantry. >> all right. >> one to two years. >> one to two years? i'm surprised by that too. i may have some that's expired even after two years. >> so true. >> i bought it with intentions that never worked out. >> i have some. >> now we'll go to canned goods. we have beans, we have fruit. amy. >> which one expires first, right? >> which one expires first? >> okay, i'm going to go with the fruit. >> i'm going to go with the fruit, as well. i know. i'm going to go with the vegetables. if i don't get something different, you're going to beat me. >> i love that you guys are really thinking. okay. let's talk about the canning process. it is a high heat process that sterilizes all of the contents. sugars in the fruit help keep it more sterile. the fruits and vegetables, they will last one to two years after that printed on date. the beans expire within a year. >> oh.

>> guys. just watch for all the dancing. >> hold on. did i win? did we tie? >> no, i won. you didn't get that. we tied -- >> i'm confused, everybody. >> i'm not. i won. >> you know what, thank you so much, chi-lan. we really appreciate that. >> it's my pleasure. >> that's some great advice and we'll send it over to george. >> you both did great. >> now we have some great advice for ginger and other new parents. all of us who have been here know how helpless you feel when you can't calm your baby down. and now one pediatrician has mastered a method. his youtube post brings relief to millions.

down. they like to -- sometimes they'll grab your finger and suck on it and you can roll your finger around the chin and that's it. it works very, very well. >> and she's hungry. this is rio and i'm telling you, she was upset before. you could have heard her in the last segment and you then you just kind of shake and bounce. why does this work? >> i think it works because you're distracting them. you're -- if you have an itch on your arm and someone comes up and tickles you, what happens? you forget about your itch. >> it's something about it. when elliott was a little girl, she cried all the time and just putting her on her stomach worked but you're saying folding of the arms -- >> very important. you recreate -- remember where they came from, from a very, very tight quarters, if you will, and by folding the arms, you're essentially swaddling them and recognize that position. >> so what if it doesn't work? there's got to come a point. >> it's a guy thing really. really good for guys, you give the baby back to the mother. that's what you do.

>> rule number one, if the baby is sleeping like this, you don't do it. >> exactly. >> thank you, dr. hamilton. you know what, i'm learning. i'm ready. i'm ready. let's do this, rio, and let's also do the forecast really quick. we have to thank our sponsor ddrops, but, look, fog, rio, and fog happening a lot of places, corpus christi to cincinnati this morning. oh, the visibility low, please be extra careful if you're headed out. see some of those are less than a quarter mile in nashville up in washington, d.c. a little issue too. flying east to west, and we're still bouncing babies. >> you bet. >> that's the big picture. good morning. i am meteorologist mike nicco with the forecast. it is wet with steady rain and breezy conditions. and showers and thunderstorms this afternoon through the overnight hours and we will repeat this on sunday afternoon through monday morning. it could be frosty cold on tuesday and wednesday. before more storms on thursday and friday. we start in the 50s in the north bay and stay there the rest of us start in the 60s and fall in the 50s.

a lot of interesting movies. kind of hard, it seems for "spotlight" to get any love on the acting front, nothing for mark ruffalo or michael keaton or for rachel mcadams. >> you were surprised by that. >> i was a little surprised by that. i expected to see more and jennifer lawrence is in there next to amy schumer, her best friend. that should be a lot of fun to see those two both nominated from "carol," rooney mara and cate blanchett and best thing for her, she's nominated for "room" but she gets to sit at the "trainwreck" table at the golden globes. that's like being at the party at the party. that's going to be the most fun place to be because she was in both films. >> but names that we are familiar with we heard too, lily tomlin. >> lily tomlin. >> jane fonda. >> jane fonda for her tremendous -- it's like one scene in "youth" but it is so dramatic, so powerful that, of course, the golden globes just love that stuff and so she's in there. it's going to be great fun to watch. >> i thought helen mirren's performance was so worthy of this nomination.

>> "trumbo" very much a film that's on people's minds, i think, out in los angeles. "trumbo" is to the los angeles community what "spotlight" is to journalists, i think, a story of the black list from the 1950s so bryan cranston also getting a best actor nomination for "trumbo." >> well deserved. >> in best actors, is it leo's year anywhere in here? >> you have to say -- all of categories, a year ago we already thought we knew who won in supporting. this is wide open. if there is one favorite, it's leonardo dicaprio for "the revenant." >> speaking of wide open for the picture, there isn't really one standout we all are expecting to sweep in this. >> no, i think it's anybody's option. i think people who saw "the martian" are so shocked it was a comedy right now, maybe they think it's a musical because matt damon kept complaining about the disco music in it but it's in there for sure but, yeah, maybe "the revenant," maybe "spotlight," maybe "carol," a lot of people love "carol." we'll see how that does as the academy season continues. >> all right. rob lowe nominated. rob will join us next.

no telling what he's going to say. >> i hope he's wearing sleepwear.

grinder. >> what is it like working for you on this series. >> it's an era where everybody wants something different on

network television. it's original. you have not seen anything like it and have it accepted in the way that a nomination like this is indicative of -- is just a great pat on the back. >> were you up to watch this or did someone wake you up with a phone call? >> i have a tradition for these things. i sleep and it's the best wakeup alarm that money can buy. [ laughter ] >> so when that phone rings and it's still dark out here this time of year i know it's some nice news. >> who do you immediately want to reach out and let them know? >> my beloved wife cheryl is in dallas this morning with her jewelry line and what does it mean that i called you first? okay. i mean, that's how far we all go back. >> yeah, but still you were able to plug your wife's jewelry line. so that's good. keeping it all in the family.

>> and regina king, nominated for abc's "american crime". >> it's very exciting. very, very exciting. you know, everything that is going on in our country, in our society right now and it's touching on things that are raw things. >> who was the first person you told about your nomination? >> i haven't told anyone. i was told to call you immediately and i wanted to -- >> yes. >> i know. >> just as we planned. >> i had to call "gma." you guys gave me such crazy great support. >> and brie larson nominated for her role in "room" and part of the cast of "trainwreck" nominated for best motion picture comedy. >> how did you find out the news? >> my parents woke me up at 3:00 in the morning because i'm in hawaii right now. i can't tell if this is a dream or not. >> what did your parents say? >> a lot of screaming and

immediate group hug and tears and these are the things that you think about. it feels so insane. i can't believe i'm attending this thing. >> will you be at the "trainwreck" table. >> who knows. maybe i'll get to bounce between the two. you get to move around tables. everyone kind of may haves musical chairs. hopefully i can throw them a paper airplane. >> and this morning uza nominated for "orange is the new black". >> and you say people are surprised you're not crazy? >> yes. thank you people on the street. i appreciate that. yeah. i auditioned for a track star, not a crazy person. the show was nominated i have to say because this is definitely a team effort on orange every single day. that made me really happy. >> best news is that means that

your show gets a table at the golden globes and that means that the party is on. >> yes. we are happy for a table. >> well deserved. well deserved. i love how you mention the team. and can you imagine when you first started with the show that it would have the following that it does? people are still crazy about this show uzo. >> you know, they really are and i'm thankful. i don't think you can't ever predict what a show will be -- you know, people will be attracted to in terms of what they watch. i've been so happy to see that people have been loving the show as much as we all loved making it. >> all right. of course, the golden globes give us an early look for the academy awards. we'll hear more from brie
