plunge in relations between wartime allies. >> janai: and you make a good point there. thank you. turning overseas to the vatican releasing an update on pope francis as he recovers from pneumonia. terry is in the vatican with more. >> reporter: good morning. it's been 24 hours now since the pope suffered that significant setback after several days of relatively encouraging news. so far today, all the vatican is telling us is that the pope had a peaceful night and that he is resting today. it was at about 2:00 p.m. yesterday that francis had a coughing fit and that triggered vomiting and he inhaled some of that. all of that caused a serious degradation of his respiratory condition. doctors tried to clear that material from his lungs and they put the pope on what they're calling noninvasive mechanical ventilation. that's a mask on his face, not a tube. he responded well to that treatment, the doctors said.

and he was conscious and alert and cooperative throughout, they say. so now that crisis has passed. and, yet, we are told by doctors that the next 24 to 48 hours are going to be crucial for pope francis as they try to see what this crisis might have done, if anything, to that underlying condition. he was already very fragile. the pope, we are told, remains in danger. >> gio: thank you. back at home, a defense attorney for luigi mangione wants to throw out evidence. the killer of a united ceo saying the arrest at a pennsylvania mcdonald's was illegal, arguing mangione was never properly read his rights. he has pled not guilty to forgery and giving a false id to an officer. he also pled not guilty to murder charges in new york, a case, of course, that takes precedence over the case in pennsylvania. >> janai: the race is on to stop the spread of measles.

>> gio: and we are back with our gma cover story. the growing concerns after federal job cuts and how they could impact upcoming vacations, especially during the busy spring break and summer seasons. >> reporter: this morning as millions gear up to spend spring break at some of the nation's most treasured parks, a warning from park officials that the deep government job cuts could have a noticeable impact on your experience. >> these parks are not going to

be able to operate. the visitors will not be able to do the things they want. you know, if you want to bring your yosemite, you can't ca or it takes four hours to get into the park, what kind of experience is that? >> reporter: nearly a thousand park employees were laid off on valentine's day, and some ripple effects are already being felt, from longer lines to cut hours to closed visitor centers and canceled tours. >> you could still have a good time, especially that bridge. but other than that, you are cutting it short. >> reporter: the national park service says more than 325 million people visited these sites in 2023, up 4% from the year prior. but now officials say the staffing shortages will make keeping the areas pristine and visits running smoothly more challenging. >> in my mind it is a crisis. if it is the employees that are gone, i'm not sure how the park could stay open. >> reporter: some travelers and local businesses are bracing for a spring shake-up. >> businesses here in baker, certainly rely on tourism and travelers.

so we are unsure what that's going to look like this season. >> i was on lunch on february 14th and got a call from my supervisor. he said to be out and done by 5:00 p.m., so it was a mad dash. >> reporter: ben is one of the park employees who recently lost his job. >> these parks are already running on a bare bones crew. people are -- again, it is a labor of love. people are working overtime to provide the best experience. and they're already struggling to do that. part of that was a lack of resources. now it is just like they have even less of that. >> reporter: experts say if you are planning to traverse the parks this spring to be patient and overprepared. >> there is going to be a big imbalance between the number of people going to the parks and the amount of staff that can help them. it is really important for park visitors to go prepared and to make sure that they are dressed properly, have enough food and water on them. >> reporter: for good morning america, abc news new york. >> gio: all right. thank you for that.

and the trump administration did backtrack on some of the firings at national parks. park advocates say it is definitely a win and a testament to the rangers and others that have been vocal about what it could mean for travelers. >> janai: good news there we will continue watching. for now, we will go back out to whit in hollywood who will take us around hollywood where things are getting exciting? >> whit: absolutely. we will have some fun. janai and gio, we are on the road to the oscars. for actors, creatives and writers, the walk they will take when they arrive tomorrow could lead to one of the biggest moments of their careers. so with just hours to go before hollywood's biggest night, we have an inside look at the route the nominees will follow before some of them win that famous statuette. take a look. it all starts here on hollywood boulevard. this year the oscars doing something brand-new, unveiling this grand entrance for the stars as

they arrive and take their first steps on to that red carpet. let's take a walk. hundreds of journalists from all over the world will be lined up along the red carpet here. and this is one of the most recognizable areas. this is known as step and repeat. it looks different every year, but this is where the stars come out. they pose for the cameras. they step. they do it again and work their way to the dolby theater. right now there is this plastic covering protecting the red carpet. but a little history for you, the first references to the red carpet go back to greek plays thousands of years ago. then they made their hollywood debut in the 1920s. here is something maybe you didn't know. it is actually more of a crimson color than a bright red, considered more flattering for hollywood's elite. and these are those iconic oscar statues that will be lining the red carpet. they range in size from 8 to 18 feet, weigh up to 85 pounds. the real ones, though, are smaller. it looks more like this. what do you think? as you can see, they're putting

the finishing touches on everything. this tent structure is critically important. they first started putting this up 12 years ago to protect the stars on the red carpet. then about four years ago, they started solidifying the structure and adding these decorative drapes so that elegance can stretch to the sky. it is a good thing because we're expecting rain on sunday. now we have made it to the end of the red carpet. it is about 900 feet long, three football fields, and this is where the nominees and their guests will line up and ascend this famous staircase. just over 24 hours to go, very exciting. and also, abc has teamed up our friends at espn line oscar ballot. one person will win tickets to the academy museum oscars watch party here in l.a. and $5,000. you can head to abc.com/oscars

peck em by 6:59 p.m. eastern on sunday to vote. if we can come back to the red carpet for a moment, i timed out this walk. it is exactly two minutes from end to end, from hollywood boulevard to the staircase. but that, of course, does not include the time that lindsey davis and i block them and get an interview before they head into the theater. >> gio: i was going to say, you are not the one wearing those big, glamorous dresses either, whit. >> janai: or heels. >> whit: that's right. but i will get in there and cause a traffic jam before they get in tomorrow. >> janai: right. we haven't seen the shoe cam, but we assume you are not wearing high heels, so it will probably take some people a little longer, whit. >> whit: good assumption. but you never know. thanks for that, though, bud. it's time for a check of the weather. in for samara is greg is here from our chicago station, wls. >> i know i have seen him with some red bottoms before. this guy forgot his dunkin donuts. he's turning around going back down the hill.

they have seen some snow lately. and cold air for everyone across the northeast. after this one warm day, we get up to around 60 in new york. drops down to the teens by the time we start off tomorrow morning. and that cold air across the good chunk of the nation. look at chicago sunday morning, down to the teens. it even stretches south to nashville. below freezing temperatures. so does >> janai: all right. tory johnson joins us now for deals and steals.

the middle east as the first agreement between hamas and israel expires. the talks in cairo attended by delegations from israel, qatar and the u.s. agencies across the u.s. government have begun sending a second e-mail to federal employees demanding they list five tasks they completed at work last week. this gives employees the option of responding that they can't elaborate because their work is classified or sensitive. and drake settled his lawsuit against i heart media after kendrick lamar's diss track, "not like us." both parties say they have found an amicable resolution. the specifics of the settlement remain under wraps. janai? >> janai: all right. up next on the road to the oscars, what are the stars going to wear on hollywood's biggest night? it is always a talker. and whit is in hollywood looking his very best. you have a special guest with

you. >> whit: you got it, janai. they say award shows are a feast for the eyes when it comes to fashion. i'm joined right now by still expert liliana vasquez who will tell us how to incorporate those trends into our own wardrobe. good morning. >> you look fabulous. >> whit: thank you. this is the back of the closet, we take it out once a year. let's start first with one of the best actress nominees, demi moore, who everybody has been talking about on the red carpet. >> yes. she has been hitting it out of the park with her stylist. i think what we see a lot of structure with her. i call her my style chameleon because she looks good in everything. she's done everything from structured blazers, lady-like styles. it's a really great style that we could definitely pull into our own wardrobe. >> whit: janai, you are there in new york and you have some ensembles that lilian put up there. >> janai: yes.

exactly. so we have one right here that i'm standing next to on the mannequin. you say that we can easily adapt what demi is doing to look like this. >> absolutely. again, that blazer look for her is a signature. i love that chocolate brown. it is like a rich, beautiful color. mix it with your classic black and white prints in your closet. a beautiful pencil skirt adding texture with the shoe as well. this is an easy and effortless look that will look good on anyone. >> whit: all right. next up here. someone turning heads on the red carpet, one of our friends here on gma, coleman domingo. >> he's a bold risk taker. he loves color. he loves texture. he is also known for his accessories. so i'm excited to see what he shows up with on the carpet tomorrow night. definitely a broach or a necklace. >> whit: you have some looks in the studio, right? >> janai: yes. how can people channel that for a date night look? >> i think you have to step into your swag is what i'm saying for the men right now.

think about bolder prints. it doesn't have to be a literal print. it can be an artful watercolor print, like you see on that jacket. a lot of times men do darker pants with a lighter color top. inverse that. it adds a lot of visual interest to any look. >> whit: inverse the color choice. i like that. i will remember that. our next trendsetter defies gravity. we're talking about cynthia erivo. she is up for best actress. could get an egot in all of this. what do you like about her fashion trends? >> to me, she is the boldest. she still pulls it off no matter what it is. what you see from her is a lot of color, a lot of texture in all of these looks we see here on the carpet. she does not miss. she, to me, is like the person i want to see tomorrow night on the carpet. >> janai: and you say while we may not go as bold as cynthia in our every day life, there are tricks that we can use to put together like a cocktail party look. >> absolutely. do not be afraid of prints. prints can feel scary. but, again, if you use these

watercolor prints, these are very wearable. what cynthia always does is accentuates her waist. pull out a skinny belt in your closet or a belt like we have done here. >> whit: finally, best actress for her role in "conclave." >> her style is so wearable. i feel like you are pull this off with things you already have. >> janai: and this feels like an easy, comfortable office to happy hour look. what are some of the key ingredients to get this right? >> her style is all about a classic white button-down, classic men's tailoring, mixed with a little bit of femininity. there you have that classic button-down. we all have one of those. i'm wearing one on the red carpet. and then a beautiful tailored trouser you can never go wrong with. for her, it is also about the loafers. she's adding the touches of men's wear inspired moments. and it all comes together so beautifully because she's so authentic with her style. >> whit: thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> this is so fun. >> whit: of course. getting the party started early

on the red carpet. thank you so much. janai, i know you are always trying to push me out of my comfort zone. today i went with the penguin tux. tomorrow i will turn it up just a little bit. i got some help from one of my fashion experts who pushed it just a bit for sunday. >> janai: he pushed it just a bit. >> whit: the big reveal, if you want to call it that. >> janai: whit, i'm always trying to pull you out of your comfort zone, bud. i can't wait to compliment you. >> whit: i'm like a suburban dad, though. >> janai: suburban dad with a bow tie. it's a whole vibe. still coming up, meet your favorite oscar nominees before they were famous. we go back in time to see where their careers first began. that's up next here on gma this saturday morning. that's up next here on gma this saturday morning. ou're with us y step of the way. ♪

>> whit: we did a little digging in the archives. we found some of those commercials. >> oh no. let's bury them back where we found them. >> whit: we did not bury them. we're back with monica, nominated for best supporting actress. we were able to dig into the archives and find some of those commercials. take a look. >> i want to be healthy.

to me, that's diet, exercise, relaxation, but i want to make sure my brain stays healthy, too. >> whit: everyone's road to the oscars starts somewhere. right? chris conley joins me with the roles the nominees might not want everybody to see. >> that's one way to look at it, whit. you are absolutely right. what were some of this year's oscar nominees like before they became famous? they were not always young and glamorous. in fact, long ago, they were even younger glamorous performers, even if only their mother knew it at the time. here's how it was for them before all the buzz for them. >> why don't we have a seat and relax. i promise it will be very painless. >> an instant attention getter on more than 100 early '80s episodes of "general hospital." demi moore brought both the substance and the style to her role as jackie templeton. in movies, you might have blinked and missed her in gary marshall's "young doctors in love."

>> she's in love, you know. she was seen opposite michael caine and "blame it on rio." >> who's calling? >> there is a good chance you remember ariana grande on "vic tourous." but it was more than three decades ago when her "wicked" costar cynthia erivo was tapped for greatness. as she told robin roberts -- >> my mom already knew it. she said i was going to be a singer and an actress when i was about two. there is this fable she wrote in a note where she wrote what she thought i would be. and she wrote it down. >> as a team, mikey madison was focused more on horse back riding as a competitive equestrian. even before he stepped up to the plate for "angels in the outfield," adrian brody played a street kid who has a way with cards in "home at last". >> here we go, here we go.

>> she heard you. >> 2000 center stage marked the film debut of zoe saldana. prior to that appearing on a 1999 "law & order." he's a rising star. but on the box office front, it's been all downhill for "a real pain"'s keiran culkin. in "home alone," appearing as kevin's cousin, fuller. a trained dancer who made a 2012 early appearance. monica was still "a complete unknown" when she helped pay the bills by becoming a hand model. as she told whit johnson -- >> i got my sag card on a job that was literally my hands were doing the entire job, were the actors. >> and a second nomination for "sing sing," but you can spot him in 1998's "around the fire"

and appearing on the don johnson tv series "nash bridges." great looks from so many. we might hear more about those actors' early days if they get a chance to deliver an oscar acceptance speech on sunday night. >> whit: i love seeing these back stories. who do you think is poised to get another big one tomorrow night? >> i think demi moore could give a powerful speech, looking back on her 45-year career and its culmination and being an award-winning actor. and i think coleman domingo. who also has an amazing personal story. if he got the chance to share that with the audience, it would be a really powerful moment, too. >> whit: as always, we appreciate it very much. back to you in the studio. >> gio: how cool would it be to see coleman do that? >> janai: we're such huge fans, yes, we would love it. >> gio: all right. thank you, guys. appreciate you. let's send things over to greg for the weather. >> clean-up underway.

seven. news starts right now. >> good morning, i'm stephanie sierra. we're following new developments. oakland says it can avoid temporarily shutting down four more fire stations. a budget decision from last year planned a brownout for several stations. despite the budget shortfall, other fiscal cutbacks proved to be sufficient enough to keep those four stations open. however, two stations, 25 and 28, both located in the oakland hills, are already closed and will remain down until the end of june. today, we will be getting an update on the transformation of san francisco's great highway into a park space. the recreation and parks department will be
