as we go hour by hour for you. a look at 12 p.m. temperatures still basically in the mid 50s, but it is a mostly sunny afternoon coming our way. we'll find daytime highs upper 50s, lower 60s which is a few degrees below average. but clouds really race in here this evening. so later on tonight we do turn to overcast skies, but enjoy the sunshine today. a high of 59 in the city, 62 in santa rosa, 60 in oakland, a high of 60 in san jose. let's check in with sue hall, see how the commute is going on this monday. >> it is going, drew. yep. we got up and adam and we've got a couple of problems. we also have the media. pardon me. the metering lights on at the bay bridge toll plaza. about 535 this morning. there's a look at your drive time from hercules all the way to and through this back up into san francisco. it's looking pretty good. although windy out there this morning. look how clear it is. just gorgeous at the richmond-san rafael bridge. eight minute drive from the tolls over towards san quentin. overall, we've got about a 50 minute drive that's five zero out of

the altamont pass west on 580 accident. northbound 87 approaching northbound 101 with a slight backup. and we had just getting reports of this accident cleared to the right shoulder south 880 at a street in hayward. >> thank you. sue. now we return to hollywood's biggest night and the history made at the 97th annual academy awards. >> from the laughs to the tributes, performances and speeches, there was something for everyone. >> abc news reporter zohreen shah live from hollywood with the highlights for us this morning. hi, zohreen. >> hey, good to see you. yeah, the after parties went well into the night yesterday, and there was a lot of history made at the oscars last night as well. >> and the oscar goes to honora. >> it was a big night for a small movie. >> we made this movie for $6 million. you're trying to make independent films? please keep doing it. we need more. >> honora. the cinderella story about a sex worker which cost

only $6 million to make, took home the oscar for best picture, the film winning five awards, including best director and best original screenplay. >> this is very surreal. >> the film star, 25 year old mikey madison, beating out demi moore for best actress. the brutalist winning three oscars, including best actor adrien brody taking home the second oscar of his career. >> some. the r >> wicked stars ariana grande and cynthia erivo paying tribute to los angeles just weeks after those devastating wildfires. the two performing songs from the wizard of oz and the wiz before teaming up for the showstopper from wicked. >> oh! >> wicked! a big winner at the box office but taking home only two awards, including a historic win for costume designer paul tazewell. >> i'm the first black man to receive a costume design award.

>> zoe saldana also making history for her big win for best supporting actress. >> i am the first american of dominican origin to accept an academy award. >> morgan freeman took the stage to introduce the in memoriam segment with a tribute to his friend, the late gene hackman. >> he won the hearts of film lovers all over the world. rest in peace, my friend. >> the ceremony also honoring the men and women who battled the recent l.a. wildfires. the firefighters getting a standing ovation. >> thank you so much. >> and best picture movies sometimes make a lot of money in the theaters. well, honora did not. in fact, it broke a record in making the least amount of money ever for that category. $41 million. in fact, to give you some perspective. wicked made 18 times the amount. that's why a lot of people saw nora as a sort of underdog in that category. guys.

>> that does put a perspective. i mean, look, count me in. i saw wicked twice and saw nora zero times. >> so i. >> mean, following the trend, i guess. >> yeah. and i watched most of the movies that were nominated for best picture, but nora was not one of them. i started it, didn't finish it, and now it's like, i need to see this because i want to see what all the hype is about. >> i'm looking forward to it. >> everyone says it's great, so let's do it. of course, also on the red carpet, bay area representation. >> yeah, we have abc seven mornings anchor amanda delcastillo live across the street from at the dolby theater. with more on the love for the bay area at last night's show. and amanda, i loved how you were calling out, you know, trying to get the celebrities and you were saying, bay area, bay area, i love that. >> anything i could do to grab their attention, i did, even if it was pickleball for mario lopez, because we know he was in san francisco doing that not too long ago. but let me tell you where i am. i am inside the dolby theater. kelly and mark's after the oscars show just got started. you're hearing a lot of cheers. well, i don't know if you are, but i can hear a lot of

cheers. they closed the doors. we know that that is well underway, and we will be seeing that broadcast at 9 a.m. our time. but for now, you got to think east coast time. obviously that makes sense. we know that lil jon and steve aoki were also part of sound check, so they will be in there getting everyone pumped, getting getting everyone excited and entertained. but let me tell you about last night and my experience here at the oscars. it has been magical, really. the magic, the madness, the glitz and glam, the grandiose of hollywood, of course. the 97th academy awards, people from oscars prep to the red carpet and the show itself, it was a jam packed few days, and with the after the oscars show going on right now, still much more celebrating to do. but let me put you back on that red carpet. unsurprisingly, there was so much love for the bay area. >> area, bay area, bay area. i'm in trouble. go. go fast. what do you want to know? i love the bay area bringing you. joan loves the bay area. how has it? i'm so proud to be from there and i'm

going to go there as soon as possible after all of this. >> i love the bay area. i mean, i'm a college kid, but the bay area is a lot of fun. i look forward to going back. i have a lot of friends up there, so i'm gonna be up there with my son later on. shout out to oakland. the golden state warriors are on a heater right now. you know oakland's oakland's winning again. and you know i just want to say that i'm really proud to be from all the places that i come from, from canim lake, which is the rest of my family resides on, and especially from oakland. >> and among all the bay area shout outs. i couldn't let this one go without mention. >> you just asked, do we watch abc seven. >> every morning? >> or how troc. >> okay, that was pixar's kelsey mann. he's the director behind inside out two, and i had mentioned that reggie always talks about how kelsey mann is a big avid fan of abc seven news. obviously, the morning show, as

he mentioned. and to hear him say that on the other side, when i'm trying to interview him about all the work that he's done and to even, you know, give us a nod and talk about how much he enjoyed our show really is touching. i was like, okay, i'm going to take it. that's my oscar. i'd like to thank the academy because we're putting in the work and it's being recognized too. so, hey, i'm taking it. it's a win for us. >> it was. >> it was. so it was thrilling for me to see kelsey in some of the footage from the national red carpet show. like i saw him walking past and i thought, oh, i know that guy. >> that's amazing. amazing. >> yeah. they got robbed last night for inside out, too. >> that's just my opinion. >> but look, the honor is people seeing your film and the world saw inside out to and really embraced it and its message about anxiety. so i was happy about that. i have a question for you. so, amanda, this is your first trip to hollywood for the oscars. what is your biggest takeaway? what is your biggest thing that surprised you as a takeaway?

>> my okay, the biggest takeaway for me is that i would say things are so incredibly fluid because the celebrities they're going to do what they're going to do, they're going to show up. if they want to show up, they're going to attend things that they want to attend, and you kind of just got to go with it. and you are at their mercy, because obviously you're trying to get all the content that you can. you're trying to soak up the experience, and it really is in the hands of the celebrities. and i think that it kind of loosened me up because i am a, you know, a chronic planner. so i was trying to plan out every single day segment, every single hour. and the experience just taught me celebrities. they they run the world because this was all about them fashion, film and just how they're so creative and how they've captured the world with all of their work. and i think that this just gave me a bigger appreciation for a lot of the people who are behind the scenes in front of the camera,

all of that. it was just a great experience. and, you know, everyone was talking about reggie, people that i ran into behind the scenes, too. oh, you work with reggie. you're reggie's co-anchor. so, reggie, they want you out here. kelsey mann also called you out and said, you need to be out here. maybe we'll do a double team next year. >> hey, that'd be fun. you know what, amanda? yes. >> that could be. that could be the one. all right, let's talk. your people can talk to my people. and when we say that, i mean just just text me. >> i would love to see that. >> yes. >> thank you. amanda, that was a lot. >> of fun. >> yeah. you did a great job, man. and i can't wait to hear maybe the next half hour about your favorite celebrity you talk to. i want to hear about that. i know we're out of time right now, but there's so many stories that we could probably talk all day. >> more amanda, as our morning continues here, of course she's going to go inside the theater and get a peek at what's happening on kelly and mark this morning, because they have a lot of celebs, too, and special moments. so that is going to be

happening later at 630. and then gma has live coverage at 7 a.m. of course, you can see the full kelly and mark after the oscars special starting at 9 a.m. all here on abc seven. >> 612 this morning we're taking a look at live doppler seven along with satellite. we're seeing low pressure pushing off to the east this low spinning over nevada into utah this morning brought us the early morning rain showers yesterday. that's out of here today. we have a lot of sunshine, but now we find our next front moving into us, getting closer to us by this evening. so tomorrow we turn overcast with some drizzle and then wednesday evening we have some light rain in the forecast as that front moves through. but today no rain in the forecast. in fact, we'll take a live look at our richmond san rafael bridge camera. this is the richmond side. you can see we have clear skies out there. mostly sunny throughout the day. that's the call. we'll have temperatures that are slightly below average this afternoon. we should typically be in the mid 60s by early march. we're mainly in the 50s to low 60s. so you'll find increasing clouds out there. and those daytime highs right around

5960 degrees for most of us. so cool for march tomorrow clouds are back drizzle too. and then we'll track some light rain in the evening on wednesday. gloria, we'll take a closer look at those wednesday showers coming up in just a few minutes. >> looking forward to that. thank you so much, drew. and still ahead taking a ride on muni for free. this special offer this week for grade school students in san francisco. and they can even take part in a muni inspired art contest. we'll tell you all about that. plus an investigation into tiktok and reddit officials in the uk accusing the social media companies of possibly

16. if you have plans to head to the beach today, be careful out there. high surf along much of the bay area coastline has created dangerous conditions on our beaches. abc seven news reporter lena howland is live in pacifica this morning. lena, i could see the wind blowing your hair. it's pretty windy out there still. >> yeah, gloria, it is still extremely windy out here this morning. and we can also hear and see those waves crashing into the seawall behind us here at the pier. now, this is one of several bay area locations that was battered by waves over the weekend. and even though we can hear and see those waves right now, the national weather service has canceled the high surf advisory that was in place only a few hours ago. now, further up north on the sonoma county coast, the sheriff's department says the body of a man who was swept into the ocean

over the weekend has been recovered at crystal cove campground, near fort ross sunday morning. officials say the man was standing on the rocks near the shore when he when he got swept into the ocean by a crashing wave at ocean beach in san francisco. one fire captain is now warning folks to beware of dangerous surf and rogue waves. >> inexperienced swimmers, inexperienced surfers need to be very aware of these conditions, and it is our recommendation to stay out of the water at this time and come back on a day when it's a little more calm. >> capitola closed its beach and wharf saturday for several hours because of the high surf. police said numerous people had to be rescued but no injuries were reported. now that high surf advisory that was in place until 9:00 tonight has since been canceled. that was canceled at around 4:00 this morning. still a very good reminder to use caution if you are planning to be out here near the water. we are seeing waves that could still be around the range of 7

to 11ft tall. for now, reporting live in pacifica. lena howland abc seven news. >> lena, thank you so much. tiktok is under investigation. the app is facing a probe by the uk's data protection watchdog. investigators want to know if its algorithm is sending harmful content to kids. the watchdog is also looking into reddit and the online image sharing website imgur for the same reason. both of the companies are based in san francisco. >> back to hollywood's biggest night now. a theater in the east bay created a great spot for watching the oscars. the orinda theater invited their community to watch the award show on the big screen. they had snacks and trivia prizes and discussions led by movie critic jan wahl during commercials. >> first of all, i did not expect a good oscar show. i'm not really a conan o'brien. i mean, i know him and i've watched him and i've even met him, but i just didn't think it was going to happen. and he was funny. it was well written. it moved. it had production numbers. thank you god. >> one of the moments that

really hit home for people in orinda was during the director sean baker's speech. accepting for onora. he advocated for getting both fans and distributors to support movie theaters, and the experience of seeing movies on the big screen. he made history last night because he was the first person to win four oscars in one night for the same movie, and i'm really not kidding. i feel like sean might have had the same amount of time on screen as conan did in the end, because he was up there constantly. and i don't know, you know about you all, but i'd never even heard of this man until last, until this oscar season. >> so yeah, and apparently he'd been in hollywood for years. and, you know, now he's he's getting all the credit that he deserves. but it's amazing because people are comparing it to cinderella story, honora. because, you know, it didn't cost as much money as some of those big pictures, didn't get as many viewers. and now getting all these huge awards. >> yeah. all the love. go check it out. and by the way, it's going on hulu march 17th. oh it is. yeah. perfect. you can watch it in march right here on hulu.

>> and i want to put you in my shoes. i was given two five minute windows, and in those five minute windows is the only opportunity you get to really be on the red carpet screaming, trying to get anyone to come over. and so you can tell that in one five minute slot, her was in front of me. so that's why i was screaming her. gabriela vallejo, she's from vallejo. we all know that. it didn't get her to come over, so that was not effective. but when it came to monica barbaro bay area, that got her attention, she came over, ran over very quickly. i'm talking 28 seconds. i timed it and then mario lopez. hilarious, because we had just reported about how he was playing pickleball in san francisco not too long ago, and so i was screaming, pickleball, pickleball, san francisco. and he came over. he was the first person to chat with me and hilarious. and then in one of the very quick hits, you hear someone say, you got one minute.

and i'm like, are. so i think that everyone just got the full display of amanda and all of my emotions in those two five minute windows. >> it was great, i loved it. yeah. >> that provides a lot of insight because i think most of us don't understand that. i didn't understand that's how the red carpet works. so we appreciate that. that's the backstage we're looking for. >> yeah. and how chaotic everything is. and amanda, i want to know who was your favorite star to talk to? >> okay. you are going to laugh because all of you know how long i've been trying to get. monica barbaro it has been months of trying to reach her. i understand she's a big hollywood star. she's been busy this awards season, but i, you know, did not think that she was going to come over. but i think by the fifth bay area she was like, i better go help her out because she is embarrassing herself. >> so she. >> ran over. she was so kind, so gracious. and she said hello to the foggy city, said that she loved the bay area, and after all of the awards, the awards season was over. obviously with last night, she was going to make a trip to the bay area. so,

hey, you know what i'm going to do? i'm going to slide into her dms and say, hey, remember you talked to me. remember this moment. i'm going to share it with you. you're back in the bay area. i know it because you said it. let's chat. it'll happen. >> oh, yeah it will. you got her. i know you were trying for months to get an interview with her and you did it, so congratulations on that. >> i know. >> thank you. >> the hard work did pay off. >> that was. i was so anxious about that red carpet because i was planning every single minute of this oscars work trip, and that was the only thing that i didn't know what was going to happen. it was fun, i loved it, can't wait to do it again. i mean, that whole reel of me just getting rejected that was legitimately maybe one five minute window and it was my later window. so all of the, you know, a-listers were coming in and they were just trying to get to their seats. they were like, i don't want to be late. i don't want to be late. >> well, great job out there, amanda.
