pretty well jumped out the window. >> reporter: after months of preparing and writin thousands of jokes, kimmel is ready. admitting last year he didn't even get nervous. so, 15 minutes before the show, what are you going to be doing? >> 15 minutes before the show i'll probably have a group of people, i bet my parents will come by, my kids will probably stop by to wish me well and i'll be kind of looking at my script, maybe having black paint applied to my head so people can't see my bald spot. >> reporter: i didn't even know you had one. >> that's because i'm painted. >> reporter: well done. >> that was paula faris reporting. you know, we have complete coverage on abc7news.com and on the abc7 news app, including a list of all the nominees and some of the bay area people nominated for oscars. the razy

sprinkle or two. otherwise, we're looking at more high clouds into monday and tuesday. this is where we sit so far. season to date, the percent of normal pretty much in the 50% range all the way from san francisco down through mountain view. so, certainly we need a lot more rain. doesn't look like we'll see it or get anywhere near average for this time, but we still have that rain by the end of the week and hopefully maybe things will change and turn around for us. but for the near future, we're looking at temperatures near average for a monday and numbers above average for tuesday. this looks to be the warmest day. in fact, we could see 70-degree temperatures. inland spots stay mild on wednesday. north bay, the coast, will cool off as this next front begins to invade the area. it slides to the south. it brings maybe a 0.1, maybe mae 0.2. it's out by thursday.

technologically advanced country in the world. disney ceo bob iger said the technology in the film has inspired young audiences, so it's fitting we show our appreciation by helping advance s.t.e.m. programs for youth, essentially in underserved areas in the country to give them the knowledge and tools to build the future they want. in the movie women are depicted as strong and technologically savvy, but in reality, according to a u.s. department of commerce report, only one-quarter of women hold jobs in s.t.e.m. fields in the united states. cal stanley hopes these kids will see themselves in these characters. >> and the kids can get a feel for the technology, seeing themselves there and seeing themselves behind the scenes creating it, going forward. disney, which is giving that $1 million donation, is the
