>> reporter: hollywood is getting ready for its biggest night as oscars gold takes over tinseltown. at the dolbe theater the red carpet is ready. crews are working around the clock, bracing for a possibly stormy sunday. >> fast and furious. really with the weather forecast for sunday we've got to be ready. >> reporter: but not even rain will dampen hollywood's brightest night with a number of acclaimed films vying for the top categories. with 14 nominations, lala land could make hollywood history, toppling titanic from its oscar throne. >> it's right movie at the right time. >> reporter: variety magazine's tim gray says while he doesn't expect the movie to sweep the awards, he bets it will take home several big wins. >> i really think it will take best picture and best director, best actress for emma stone. >> reporter: he expects a statue for viola davis for best

supporting actress in fences. she's among the most diverse group of oscar nominees in years. he says critics and movie goers alike are embracing minority driven films like hidden figures. >> a few years ago if you said you had a movie with three black women in the lead it would have been no, it won't work, but it's working. >> reporter: but can any of this year's contenders out step a musical nod to hollywood's heritage? only oscar knows. >> by the way, down in los angeles tomorrow they've got just a 20 percent chance of showers, partly cloudy skies, in case you were planning to show up at the oscars. in the bay area just about the same odds. the chance of a few showers moving in tonight. looking at the golden gate bridge in the upper left hand corner you can see, well, this is why they call it a web cam. temperatures mostly in the low to mid-50s.

53 at concord, san francisco at 51. san jose 53. partly cloudy skies over much of the bay area, and the high definition doppler looking ominous, but most of the moisture is forecasted to stay offshore and stay out of the bay area. just a little in the north coast as we showed you a bit ago. it's all light rain if it's hitting the ground, and just off the peninsula light showers, so a splash of showers from time to time wouldn't be a surprise tonight but wouldn't about to a tenth of an inch, and most of that close to the shore. another chance on sunday, i'll show you that in a minute. it's because of the low pressure moving south over the bay area. not much oomph or moisture, but by tomorrow night another system moving through brings another light snow showers up to the mountains. two to eight inches of new snow, not bad. winds gust to a max of 40 miles per hour, so light snow and gusty winds making travel

delays possible. and in futurecast skies clear from the north after a few showers move over the area, and by 3:00 in the morning clear and cool, and tomorrow morning we'll have partly to mostly sunny skies. watch what happens later in the day though in the north part of screen, a few showers working in by sunday afternoon, and then slowly begin to subside south by tomorrow night at this time. so tomorrow night maybe a few more showers than we get tonight, but not amounting to much either way. partly cloudy skies tomorrow morning. it will be chilly tomorrow with mostly clear skies overnight, and way into the future, high pressure establishing itself over the eastern pacific, sending anything right back where it belongs, up to seattle. so we'll finally get a high to block all the systems coming in, and after the chance of showers tonight and a chance of a few showers tomorrow night we'll go sunny and warmer starting tuesday. so overnight lows tonight,

chilly, 33, 39 livermore, and mid-50s tomorrow with maybe a few showers tomorrow afternoon. mostly north bay stuff, and linger a touch into monday before clearing it out tuesday, and then the rest of the week looking mighty fine with sunshine from wednesday through saturday, and temperatures warming into the mid-60s by the latter half of the week, so that's good news. out with an injury... >> thanks. coming up in sports, the warriors will be missing a key player as an all start sits out with an injury, and the cardinals trying to do something they've been trying to do all season, beat a ranked team. if it happened coming up next. ,,,,,,,,
