the biggest night of the year. weekend with two big stories brewing. first we're counting down to the oscars, which will air right here on abc. check out this time-lapse video of the red carpet being rolled coming up, what the producers are revealing only to us. hainesy will be honchoing our coverage on that. >> the coverage, you said it once, let's say it twice. the oscars will be right here on abc over and over. but before they hand out the shiny statues in hollywood they'll be awarding delegates in south carolina. democrats in that state, they head to the polls this morning in what hillary clinton hopes will be a decisive win. meanwhile, the bombshell endorsement reverberating through the republican universe this morning. chris christie joining forces with donald trump. >> now, this alliance raising all kinds of questions. will it give trump unstoppable momentum heading into super tuesday, and what does it mean

rubio? we start our coverage this morning with abc's mary bruce right in washington. hi, mary. >> reporter: hi, paula. good morning. well, this is a potential game changer in this roller coaster campaign. donald trump getting his first major endorsement from a card carrying member of the republican establishment just as he heads into super tuesday. his former rival showed up unannounced and dropped a bombshell on donald trump's campaign. >> we need a first class president, and we're going to have it in donald trump. >> reporter: new jersey governor chris christie this morning is lending his credibility to trump's runaway campaign. >> i can guarantee you that the one person that hillary and bill clinton do not want to see on that stage come next september is donald trump. >> reporter: they weren't always so friendly. >> we're going to do it. i'm going to get it done because i make deals and i get deals and i'm doing deals. >> reporter: now united christie and trump are taking aim at a common enemy, marco rubio. >> desperate people in campaigns

losing campaign. >> reporter: this after rubio let trump have it at the last debate. >> if he hadn't inherited $200 million, you know where donald trump would be right now? selling watches -- >> no, no, no. >> reporter: and then mocked trump for his spelling mistakes on twitter. >> he meant to say lightweight, but he spelled it l-e-i-g-h-t. great honer. i think he meant to say great honor. i don't know how he got that wrong because the "e" and the "o" are nowhere near each other on the keyboard. >> reporter: now the attacks are getting bizarrely personal. >> he asked for a full length mirror. i don't know why because the podium goes up to here. but he wanted a full length mirror. maybe to make sure his pants weren't wet. i don't know. >> you had to see him -- you had to see him backstage. he was putting on makeup with a trowel. >> reporter: and trump doing his best impression of rubio drinking water. >> it's rubio. >> reporter: but rubio seems to be rather unimpressed with

trump probably called christie because he needed a life line after that bruising debate. and at least on twitter there are signs of opposition growing against the front-runner. the #nevertrump has been trending for the last ten hours. dan. >> all part of the elevated discourse of american politics this morning. mary bruce, thank you. for more on this, let's bring in abc news political analyst matt dowd who is in austin, texas, this morning. matt, how big a deal is this chris christie endorsement? does it actually matter? >> well, endorsements don't usually matter, and especially in presidential contexts, but i think in this case it's not going to add support to donald trump, i think what it does in the aftermath of the debate, it solidifies his support going into super tuesday. so in that way since he's leading most of the polls in nearly every state on super tuesday, his support solidifying and not bleeding off to marco rubio or somebody else is actually a help that chris christie could provide. >> so, what's in it for christie here? why would he do this?

i'm a person that assumes the good intention in the course of this, that there's not some nefarious thing that somebody's finagled some endorsements a certain way. i think a couple of things, first is chris christie and donald trump have had a personal relationship. one is governor of new jersey. one does a lot of development in new jersey, so they've had a personal relationship, and, two, i think chris christie has come to the conclusion that donald trump in his mind is going to be the gop nominee. so why not get on board now at a critical moment for donald trump going into super tuesday, and who knows what that might get him in the course of this campaign and if donald trump was to win the white house, so i think that's the equation he did. >> meanwhile, marco rubio really tearing into donald trump. do you think this helps or hurts him? >> well, as you listen to this, it's like a 10-year-old insult contest between the two of them. in the course of this right now, i actually think -- i think marco rubio can criticize donald trump and attack him on substantive things.

outtrump trump, that's a problem for marco rubio. keep in mind for a year marco rubio has run on the nonattacking, aspirational, optimistic candidate and now in the course of 48 hours, he's tried to become some version of trump. i don't think that's necessarily a benefit to him going into super tuesday. >> a big turnaround. matthew dowd, we love having your analysis. thank you. >> paula, over to you. >> things much calmer in the democratic ring. and today's south carolina primary, hillary clinton's predicted to easily best bernie sanders. a win gives her momentum heading into their big super tuesday showdown, and abc's david wright is going to give us that side of the story from columbia, south carolina. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, paula. the polls are open here in the palmetto state, and even at this hour, a slight crowd is gathering. democrats only today. the republicans had their south carolina primary last week, and as you say, hillary clinton has a huge advantage here. >> how are you? >> reporter: at her last few

clinton was already looking ahead to the general election. >> i don't know who they're going to end up nominating. it'll be entertaining, that's for sure. >> reporter: ignoring the fact that just outside the orangeburg fish fry, her democratic rival was waiting for her to finish. >> feeling great. >> reporter: african-americans make up more than half the democratic electorate here. >> wake up, south carolina. >> reporter: so bernie sanders has a new radio ad featuring director spike lee. >> and when bernie gets in the white house, he will do the right thing. >> reporter: clinton's south carolina ads feature morgan freeman. >> just like she's always stood with us. >> reporter: recent polls show clinton crushing sanders 2-1 among black voters giving her a huge boost here but still trying to win over young voters. at one campaign stop yesterday, clinton ran into a bachelor party and stopped to pose for a photo with all the groomsmen. >> i love having men at my feet. here.

at her feet. bernie sanders insists he plans to stay in the race all the way to california. imagining the day when you're on that stage with donald trump, what do you say to him? how do you -- what's your strategy for taking him down? >> why would i tell you? he's probably watching your show. >> reporter: the polls are open today till 7:00 p.m. clinton ahead by double digits here. the sanders campaign mostly looking forward to tuesday and they're hoping that some big wins there will keep them in the race. paula. >> all right, david. we want to thank you. and the conversation continues tomorrow on "this week" and a reminder, everybody, super tuesday just a couple of days. the abc news division will be out in full force. george stephanopoulos will lead our whole political team for a prime time special at 10:00 eastern plus full coverage on "good morning america" as well as "world news tonight." and we do want to move on to the new zika virus alert. the cdc has just confirmed another round of pregnant women here in the u.s. contracted zika while traveling. our chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser is

rich, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> thanks for joining us. first and foremost in this new report, we have nine new cases of pregnant women here in the u.s. what were those findings? >> yeah, so they're keeping a registry of all pregnant women who have been infected so we can learn more. what they found was two women had miscarriages, two women had abortions and in one of those cases, the ultrasound showed severe brain damage. one baby born with microcephaly. two healthy babies and two still pregnant. it's very concerning and gives more evidence that zika could be causing this. all these women had symptoms. it doesn't tell us whether if you don't have symptoms and get infected there's a problem and it doesn't tell us yet whether the first trimester is the riskiest but it's pointing in that direction. >> all these women traveled to countries. we still don't know how they transmitted it but they traveled to countries where zika was transmitted. the cdc also issued a report to those considering traveling to brazil for the summer olympics. >> yes. >> what is their cautionary tale there? >> it's really the same travel recommendations they've been

they say pregnant women really should not go to the olympics. if you have to go or you're insisting on going, make sure you do everything you can to prevent mosquito bites. if your male partner goes, then for the rest of the pregnancy you have to try and prevent sexual transmission, and any woman who is trying to get pregnant really should talk to her doctor before going to the olympics. >> yeah, got to heed those warnings. rich, thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> dan. >> thanks, guys. we move to the new details about the gunman who went on that fatal shooting spree in kansas killing thee people at a lawn mower factory where he worked. we're learning more about a possible motive this morning and about the hero cop who put an end to the carnage. abc's eva pilgrim is on the scene there in hesston, kansas. eva, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, we are learning more this morning about what may have triggered that series of shootings that end here in this rural kansas town and how that gunman, a convicted felon, was able to get his hands on those guns. almost 30 minutes of pure terror ending with the gunman marching into a kansas lawn mower

an off-duty paramedic was one of the first ones inside. >> it was chaos. i mean there were people screaming and yelling. there was, you know, people laying on the ground. >> reporter: the shooter, 38-year-old cedric ford, an employee at the factory excel industries. investigators now revealing from the first shot ford fired inside his workplace, it took just two hesston police chief doug schroeder racing inside to confront ford in a one-on-one gun battle. >> the only reason he stopped shooting is because that officer stopped the shooter. >> reporter: ford and three of his co-workers are dead identified on friday as renee benjamin, brian sadowsky and josh higbee. at least 14 people wounded. now we are learning that just 90 minutes before the rampage, ford was served at work with a restraining order to stay away from his ex-girlfriend who alleges he is in desperate need of medical and psychological help. another former girlfriend now

the ak-47 and glock pistol used in the shooting spree to ford. in court documents federal agents say when the couple broke up, 28-year-old sara hopkins had police escort her to pick up the weapons from the home they shared. the officer saying she knew the convicted felon could not lawfully possess them. then in august admitting she returned both guns because ford had threatened her. just one month later ford posting this video to his facebook page firing an ak-47 and posting pictures with the gun saying, "just doing my thing." hopkins has not yet entered a plea. if convicted, she could face up to ten years in a federal prison. dan and paula. >> eva, thank you. we want to move things over to ron claiborne tracking all of the other stories that are happening around the globe right now. good morning, ron. >> good morning to you, paula, and dan. good morning, everyone. we begin overseas and a deadly car bombing overnight that rocked syria just hours

relative calm to that war-torn nation. let's go straight to abc's alex marquardt in the syrian capital of damascus. alex. >> reporter: good morning, ron. this is the quietest that syria has been in years. this is an area on the edge of damascus that for the past several years has been pounded by rebels with mortars and rockets with hundreds killed, but this neighborhood, as you can see, like much of the rest of syria today is calm. now, isis and al qaeda are not part of this agreement so the fight will continue against them. there's little optimism that this could last but it's off to an impressive start and could pave the way for new peace talks next month. >> alex, thanks. back in the u.s. a health ono. the 83-year-old was rushed to a new york city hospital friday afternoon after calling 911. it was initially reported that ono was suffering from a stroke or stroke-like symptoms, but a spokesman for ono now says she was only suffering from dehydration and will likely be discharged from the hospital later today. good news there.

number of taxpayer accounts that were hacked last year is actually more than double what they initially reported. the agency now estimating more than 700,000 accounts were hacked giving cyberthieves access to social security numbers, birth dates and other data that could be used to file false tax returns. and a former guantanamo detainee is back in somalia and calling for jihad. ibrahim qosi was osama bin laden's bodyguard and driver. he released an audiotape promoting an uprising in that region. qosi was sentenced to 14 years detention for supporting terrorism but was released from gitmo in 2012 for cooperating with authorities. and take a look at this. a frightening scene on a busy texas highway friday morning. an out-of-control dump truck that you see right there plowing right through that intersection in austin, texas, causing a multicar accident. amazingly, nobody was seriously hurt. >> what? >> the driver was on his way to deliver a load of gravel when that happened. and finally, music filled the white house as president

listen. hey hey ho ho hey hey ho ho hey hey ho ho >> and the president as you hear there leading a singalong with usher in a tribute to the late great ray charles in the white house east room. the president had said initially he would not sing but broke that promise for better or worse. do you think -- >> for better. >> you think so? >> yes. he's got a great voice. celebrations of black history month. voice, huh? >> when he sang "amazing grace," >> i like how even in this context when he's singing, he does it with a really serious face like i'm president even though i'm singing ray charles. thank you, ron. let's check the weather now. meteorologist indra petersons. good morning, indra. >> good morning. how much do you guys love this picture? this is a melting snowman out towards minnesota. normal. we're talking like 20 degrees

keep in mind winds go clockwise around that high, right, so if you are on the back side of this you're talking about all that warm air coming in out of the gulf and, unfortunately, if you're on the front side like we are in the northeast, it means that cool air is coming down from canada. but it changes. the high is going to shift, so first let's talk about the chilly temperatures. this morning in the northeast, that chill. those windchills actually below freezing this morning, but it is changing. it's going to feel so good. pressure bringing temperatures a good 20 degrees above normal into the midwest and into the plains. now once this high starts to shift over, then you're going to be looking at that same warm air moving into the northeast and that comes in tomorrow. you're going to love this. look at that. temperatures going up to even the 50s.

so much more to memory support than the stigmas you hearabout. that these residents still have lives and their lives still matter and that they are still living their lives. that they're not locked away and that they still have a lot to live for, you know, that they have people that care about them and they have people that love them and i love them, so their lives still matter. that is what i do this for. increase speed, full throttle!

i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.

conversations between sievers and wright often using code words on disposable cell phones. >> these folks went to great lengths to cover their tracks. we had investigators in multiple states. >> reporter: mark sievers' attorney declining to comment but lawyers for wright telling abc news the alleged accomplice is deeply sorry for the pain and lifetime of suffering that he has caused and his decision to plead guilty will hopefully begin to answer many questions and bring closure to the family of teresa sievers. and a possible motive police say problems. detectives say that mark sievers had five different life insurance policies under his wife's name totaling more than $4 million. if convicted, dan and paula, he could get the death penalty. >> this is a woman who was beloved in that community. >> absolutely. >> kendis, thank you. let's check the weather now and get it over to indra once again. good morning. >> good morning, typically oscar weekend, california, you'd be talking about rain because february is the rainiest month but take a look. even though it is a strong el nino, notice the jet stream is farther to the north. that is good news and means the

hey, t-minus one day till the oscars. and if you're still struggling with your picks for the oscar poll, we brought in a ringer. "entertainment weekly" correspondent nina terrero is here. good morning, thanks for coming. >> thanks. >> let's begin with best supporting actor and actress, where is the smart money? >> put your money on sylvester stallone for best supporting actor. he was just fantastic in "creed" and hollywood insiders are saying that he's long overdue because he played the character in rocky almost 40 years ago. this is finally his time. >> and he got robbed in 1977. >> and best supporting actress, my money is on alicia vikander, she is fantastic and, you know, i got to say hollywood just loves honoring an ingenue. >> so what about best actor and actress? >> this year, best actor belongs to leonardo dicaprio. this is his year. he was absolutely fantastic in "the revenant," and honestly he's never won an oscar. can you believe it? and this is his sixth nomination and that proved a recipe -- like that was golden for julianne moore last year. >> and best actress. >> best actress, brie larson, she was tremendous in "room" and

right throughout awards season into the ceremony on sunday. >> everybody is talking about her. categories we should get into, best director. for alejandro inarritu for "the revenant." he achieved things with that movie that few would have thought possible because he shot entirely natural lighting and in subzero temperatures so i'm with him all the way and also if he wins, he'll be the to win consecutive back-to-back oscars. so that's huge. >> last year was "birdman." >> exactly. >> and best picture, who is your pick? >> i'm rooting for "spotlight" and in my opinion it was the best movie of the year and has all the ingredients of a best picture winner, great cast, tremendous performances and a really grounding story about good overcoming evil. >> i got to tell you, i completely agree. i thought "spotlight" was incredible, and it really just reinforced my enthusiasm about being a reporter. >> exactly. >> it's an incredible movie. >> i loved it. it was really great. >> nina, thank you. we love you. come back any time. great job. really appreciate it. reminder in case we haven't

"good morning america" is "good morning america" is brought to you by edward jones, where attention and sound advice is a big deal. time for "pop news." i say we got to dress up for the oscars. sara haines, you going to be dressing up for the oscars? >> pregnancy doesn't make you want to dress up. >> fair enough. >> i'm going to make sweatpants as hot as you don't even want to say. but we are going to begin with the brain teaser everyone is talking about in the countdown to oscar sunday. can you spot the oscar statue among this crowd of cp3os? >> yes. >> loads of people online summoning the force for this

of course, the trick here is, and we try to do this, ron, this is for you, try not or do not, there is no try? >> that's yoda? >> it was better earlier. >> it was better at break but if that doesn't work for you, start looking for the non-3p0 eyes, and then you'll find oscar in the bottom right-hand corner. >> i found it at the very beginning. >> i was going to let you guys go all day like children. >> i'm still like leaning in. >> now, this is almost as satisfying as winning the real thing but like really not at all. >> there's also a boba fett in there if you look really closely. >> no, there isn't. >> yeah, there totally is. >> you're throwing out names to prove you're a geek. >> we don't need any more proof. >> no. >> what's next? >> of course, if you're thinking that puzzle could be a strange form of torture for leonardo dicaprio, don't worry, i've got the best actor covered with these photos of him as a child model. i remember him from that. >> that is awesome. >> way back in 1990. it wasn't that long ago, people. >> the feathered hair. >> long before he got mauled by a bear in "the revenant," leo

starring in family sitcoms such as "growing pains." >> i loved "growing pains." >> and these showing up, the clean-cut, adorable but kind of dorky look he had going on at the time. it worked out for him. he's come a long way and we're all rooting for him. >> he's got to win. >> there's nothing dorky about that. that combover looks good. >> do you remember him in "growing pains." >> i don't remember which character he was. >> he was a friend. he's not a regular. he wasn't a seaver, okay.. >> i love that she knows the name of the family. >> do we have to explain everything, dan? >> i'm with you on this one. >> indra was following me. dan is a little -- >> yeah. >> with all the talk of the oscars we should also mention this week marks the most dishonorable award show of the season, the razzies, which will be unveiled tonight. some of the nominees may even join a select group of stars like sandra bullock who won both an oscar and a razzie. bullock famously won a golden raspberry in 2010 for worst access in "all about steve." the very next day her ego spiked right back up

blindside." now, eddie redmayne could very well follow in her footsteps of the he's up for worst supporting actor for "jupiter ascending" and best actor for "the danish girl." other stars already inducted into the razzie oscar club include al pacino, halle berry, ben affleck. that's good company. i'll take the razzie. the oscar is a long shot. >> it shows range, doesn't it? your versatility. >> i feel like it also makes -- >> yeah, bad to good. >> everyone strikes out sometime, right? >> what did affleck win a razzie for? is that "gigli"? >> yeah. >> or "jersey girl." >> there's a few. >> let's just not go there. we already had a divorce spot on ben. let's let him go for the day. a psa for stars with superstitions and lucky charms, "the hollywood reporter" has crunched the numbers on the luckiest dress colors over the past decades, and it seems the oscar nominees should be opting for a white hot look. 25% of the past decade's winners wore white including last year's best actress winner julianne moore. the second luckiest hue is blue

she picked up the best supporting actress award for "12 years a slave." and if in doubt just wear gold like oscar. it's not as popular as white and blue. statistically it's a great choice with half of the nominees who wore it going on to win big including meryl streep who took home the best actress statue in 2012 for "the iron lady" and many other times because she's meryl streep. >> ron, i don't know if you know this, but some of the nation's brightest minds were involved in crunching those numbers. >> did you bring a toy to "pop," ron? was it not serious enough for you? >> no, just a little soundtrack for you. >> the little laugh track. >> the laugh track. >> i have no idea what ron is doing. that is not unusual. we'll be right back here

>> don't drop it. go good morning, america. he's stan, i'm neil. we pretty much shut it down already. >> we're going to do this before we go, though. some nba action from friday night. always a big night in the nba. this is one versus two in the east. kyle lowry rolling through the six. stepback jumper for lowry. we'll get back to him in just a minute. let's check out lebron james, though. cavaliers controlled this for most of the game. james, just get out of the way, you don't want to be a part of that. 25 points for james. less than 10 seconds to go, 97 apiece. lowry, oh, yeah. raptors up two late. 43 for lowry including that bucket. last chance for james. ooh, that's not going to work. the raptors win it, 99-97. they're two games back in the east. >> thank you for the aerial

pacers down one, final 20 some monta ellis to the hole with soul. >> that's strong. >> yeah. six seconds, kemba walker. now you know kemba walker, look, he splits the defenders. >> oh. >> i mean, yeah. man, we didn't play much "d." no. paul george, though, doesn't yeah, it did because he didn't he had 32. hornets win by one. >> all right, that's it from
