laughs and applause. including at this oscars watch party in san rafael. >> i thought it was really well done. i thought given the tension in the room, he did a wonderful job, diffused everything. >> reporter: for the second straight year all the acting nominees are white. and #oscarssowhite dominated the headlines. >> is it really progress to say we can crack jokes but we can't crack the top 20 nominations? >> reporter: reverend al sharpton led a protest before the show and organized rallies across the country. spike lee, snoop dogg, and jada pinkett among those who boycotted the oscars. >> is hollywood racist? >> i don't think there's enough black, hispanic, women, and it's changing. >> reporter: many hope and some believe this will mean change for future awards shows. >> it's not about boycotting

man and his pet rabbit in what's left of the second tent city where health officials posted strict orders for folks to leave. >> i guess everybody obeyed the order? >> they had to at the time. they enforced the law. if you didn't break down, they'd take it down for you. >> reporter: after weeks of el nino rains and super bowl displacement, the tent cities grew, in large part because homeless folks were taking shelter under the freeway. the city's public health department inspected the area and decided it was a public nuisance because of the waste and hypodermic needles. they ordered the area vacated by 5:00. >> i guess 80%, i guess 90% vacate. >> 90% of the people living here in tents took their tents and left? >> right. >> reporter: same goes for the area a few blocks away at division and van ness. that area was given a 5:00 deadline on friday. we counted about 25 tents left, down from 130 a few days ago. the health department orders

appear to threaten police action of some sort, a sweep, which never quite materialized. >> the fact that they may consider a threat doesn't mean that it solves anything. it just means that people who were sleeping on the streets moved and if they moved the issue was still there. >> reporter: we talked to folks in the remaining tents. they decided they're going to stay a while. >> you're going to stay out here? >> i sleep. i only come out here to go to sleep with me and my little baby. >> tonight there are still dozens of people on the street, in the tents, some telling me they're worried the police are going to forcibly remove them. the city has only said so far no enforcement is planned. stay tuned. reporting live, i'm joe vazquez, kpix 5. a deadly hit and run in pinole. the suspect is in custody. the driver hit a man who was checking a tire on his car on the shoulder of eastbound i-80

thomas saxton told them, i assume/hope no one is seriously considering that option. the estimated cost was $12 million a year. the city eventually did reconnect the detroit water in october of 2015. days after the governor declared flint's river water unsafe. the announcement was triggered by an independent study that linked lead to the water. one thing we keep hearing is that the governor is not involved or is detached. this would be good to show he's there and he cares. and if we don't announce till he is there, we can avoid the protests and still get the optics. but protests have continued. the fallout was eerily predicted in an e-mail sent more than a year ago when the governor's special project manager wrote, this is a public relations

out trees and plant something else. >> reporter: here in ripon in the central valley, almonds are so important, they celebrate with the almond blossom festival. but something has happened to the price of almonds to send it plummeting. while almonds still fetch $7 a pound, the price paid to growers and processors is taking a beating. at his processing facility, dave says almonds were probably priced too high to begin with. >> we got to a price that was the highest i've seen in my luf luf -- in my lifetime. >> reporter: that price, $5 a pound. farmers, along with investment firms, saw money growing on trees. almond trees went in almost as fast as a field could be plowed. according to the usda, in the last 10 years, the number of acres in california being used to grow almonds has nearly doubled. jake wenger is a fourth generation farmer near modesto. >> we're producing a lot of

almonds. there's more almonds being produced now than there ever has been with the acreage in the state. >> reporter: when you combine too many almonds along with record high prices, no wonder that price crashed 40% overnight. >> a lot of overseas buyers i think were put off by the prices. i think they said if it's that high, we'll wait and watch the price come down. >> reporter: will we see almond trees being ripped out? >> if the price stays low for four, five years, i think you'll see a lot of these guys who have come in lately in the market, they're probably going to have to find a way out. >> reporter: almond trees vilified for our multiyear drought for using so much water have to be kept alive. >> farmers are starting to irrigate. >> reporter: steve arthur says his well drilling business hasn't slowed down because farmers are going to farm, whether it's almonds or something else. >> pistachios, wine grapes, table grapes, all these crops take the same amount of water, it's just a matter of what the

not be divided because of someone's skin or the color of your skin. telling a story, someone who can do the job should get the job. >> reporter: as for the oscars boycott, these stars say they showed up to make a difference. >> you come so you say hey, this happened this year but we're missing a lot of folks. not just us. it's a lot of people. so i'm here because to disappear and truly make it oscars so white is stupid to me. >> diversity is absolutely right. i think most people think that. >> as for the parties, they'll definitely go well in to the night. stars flooded in to the elton johns a.i.d.s. foundation 24th annual viewing party. that event features an auction and live musical performance. the glitzy bash raises millions for a.i.d.s. research. now to the all important topic of the forecast and the fact things are finally going to be changing as we head in to the
