but let's take a look at the monolog. >> i'm here at the academy awards. otherwise known as the white people's choice awards. you realize if they nominated northwests i wouldn't even get getget get -- nominated host, i wouldn't get nominated. >> you need to have black categories. you already do it with men and women. think about it. there's no real reason for there to be a man and a woman category in acting. come on. there's no reason. it's not track and field. you don't have to separate them. robert deniro has never said i better slow this acting down so

>> even the concept of having black coordination then have asian categories too and every minority. you know what it's got to be the best performances. people vote personally what they thought was the best performance. >> i think the argument too is just give more opportunity sos there can be more performances so you can choose, so people will have -- >> it's fair. >> there's been so much change in this business. it's going the right way. it may take longer than some people want. but ultimately i want the best person to win. the best performance to win. >> everyone would agree with that. >> i don't think so. >> i do. i think they want the best performance. i feel a lot of times they were saying a lot of people don't have many opportunities to act in films because it doesn't fit this particular character so they don't have as many opportunities and when you don't have as many chances you don't have as much, chance to win. >> i don't know, hoda.

i've seen so much change. all for the better. >> let's move on to shall we say oscar fashion. it was big. >> yes. >> okay. dresses. >> did you notice a trend? >> i saw a lot of bright colors. >> all for spring. >> you loved this one right here. >> i thought she was, talk about a breath of fresh air. she looked beautiful. alicia vikander. age appropriate. she's young, fresh, brilliant. i just thought -- you know she wasn't trying to being a sex pot. she looked like she was a celebration. >> i like naomi watts. >> she's a beautiful girl. >> i thought she looked great. some people look great in everything. >> she's one of them. >> she definitely did. >> and olivia munn.

it's fundaymond and we're back with something we like to check out. >> bobbie's redo. bobbie thomas is back with touch ups from last night's oscars. >> up always feel badly about this because you love women. you're not trying to put the ladies down. >> definitely about having fun with fashion and i love interacting with you on my social media. you're asking me what if these two ladies swapped. this was the magic wand that we waved over the red carpet and we'll start with two of my absolute favorites. julianne moore, stunning in chanel. lady gaga one of her best looks. so interesting and pretty. i couldn't help but wonder what it would look like if they swapped. >> because lady gaga is so blonde. >> look at julianne moore's hair

and lady gaga with the black. >> this look on lady gaga is washing her out. >> it's look. it's a little more contrast with the black. i like the blonde with the cut-outs. it's sophisticated. >> she wore brandon maxwell and that was chanel. next brie. i thought brie her first oscar red carpet i loved that this gucci dress. jennifer garner stunning. the only thing i couldn't help wonder was what if they swapped because i think her hair may have done better with that bright blue. so you see jennifer's brown hair and blue grabbed the contrast together. brie being her first oscar plus she won something timeless and classic that was something i would love to see. >> she's very young. this seems like an older dress to me. >> that's true.

it's what it would have looked like. now cate blanchett. she can pull dresses out and it doesn't look like a disney dress. however, i thought with jennifer's new hair color what if she had done something more colorful. she always wears black, red, navy. so let's take a look. jennifer in a little bit of color. such an interesting kind of softer look and cate does no wrong. she can wear pretty much anything. it's unbelievable. >> interesting. now kate winslet. i love her. she's one of my favorite people in hollywood. she chose a fashion forward fabric. it was a custom dress. the only thing i wanted to see it was a heavy color and really kind of blocking. so i wanted to see her in a different ralph lauren dress. this was on his collection.

something that was interesting about this -- >> more slimming. >> it elongates her frame. >> when you wear strapless it can cut you. you're seeing this length. here with this asymmetrical shoulder and diagonal die as you're looking at an eye line like this. the drape on the dress goes out and this hip brings in. this was something that lightened her up overall and i thought in general i just thing she's so stunning it's cool she pulled something new off. she's been to so many of these award shows and it was nice. >> i like that. >> next sofia vergar. >> she often wears a dress that looks similar to the one she wore before. >> it's her signature look.

is more more, or is less more? >> she has such statement earrings on. >> i liked the original. i thought well it lets the structure of the dress stand out but she's so -- this is marcasa. they are known for ornate construction or embellishment. >> beauty is another big trend that pops up on the carpet. red eyes. this red eye shadow, coppery pink. people are doing it in kind of -- >> it's not a good look for me. >> it can make your eyes look tired. i'm curious if people at home -- do they like this look or not like this look? >> we do love everybody. >> i liked this one. >> thank you. oscar fashions aren't the only thing trending, unfortunately, so is the flu. how do you know you have it or cold or allergies.
