wouldn't get the job irnl. >> he either. he is providing a context when he gave aor the idea of boycotting. >> both of you gave him straight a's? >> no. >> no. >> i just want to mention one ught he did was brilliant make the point about there being black oscars and why the gender categories are sti i've been saying this -- i wanted to write a story about this and i've been saying three years, the grammys no longer have gender categories. i want to know what would happen -- i think it would n terms of how we talk about these things if you eliminated the gender category. >> one of the reasons we continue to have them is women don't tend to lead movies in the. most of the oscar nominated movies are the story of a hero on a quest. >> i will bet you anything, stuff would change if you just made ten

ten best actor nominees. >> robert de niro sayso slow down my acting because of merle streep. >> not at all. >> you would have a really interesting conversation when those nominations came out, you know, inwas 20. >> what did you like or not like about chris is my question. >> i thought something he did that was interesting was he either repeated the same jock that he did when he hosted the last time or heack where he did a video bit where he went to a movie theater in a black neighborhood. the last time he hosted it was in harlem. this year he went to compton. >> there is controversy he wasn't there. >> oh, really? >> yes. he asked movie-goers if they hade nominate films and the sort of broad answer was no. >> yes. >> it was funny when he did it the first time. >> it was brilliant the first ut coming back to it, it

>> the production itself brought out these sexual survivors or these abuse survivors and i thought that was really. >> that said, wesley, you worked in boston and i worked in boston as well. >> yes. >> i worked -- >> the globe. >> you worked at the "globe" which this story is about. "spotlight" raced out to the early lead and backed off. this was a little bit of a surprise. >> yes. it wing came down to three movies.- i mean, when you think about it it's kind of a no-brainer. it's the most important of those, you know, quote, important of those three movies. it's really well made.o see investigative journalism -- >> cheering at home. >> the least divisive between and that. >> but the narrative also was

for "creed" as best supporting eople thought he had the edge. and mark rylance was a surprise of the night. even if you think it's a done deal, all of these, you know, ng to win there is usually a surprise that often comes in the supporting categories and to see somebody like rylance honored for the theater actor, honored"bridge of spies" for a quieter performance than severls ylvester stallone did, i think is nice. >> one final thing to say it watch the oscars, i mean, good actors, how many good arks we have and really are people out there who do what they do extraordinarily well. >> yes. no, it's i will say about this so-called diversity issue is i don't know who was booking the guests or who said no, but all your actors of color came from

or from some other realm of entertainment. very few of them were american. it was just an interesting >> a subtext that other streams of entertainment are doing it better perhaps than movies. >> here they are to give movie awards to people who-- >> yes. >> thank you for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> great to have you here. >> thank you both. you can consider today a gift from a 16th jamie wax explains why it's all a matter of time. >> coming up, ever wonder why we squeeze an extra day into february every four years?o it on this leap day ahead on "cbs this morning." >> samantha: time now is 8:40. yes, we are still cloudy. this time yesterday it was beautiful, but we areover cast. the good news is the rain we saw out. east coast.

're waking up a little you may not have noticed that today is a leap day. but what exactly does that mean? jamie wax takes us through times. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. every four year, we have to squeeze an extra day into february. except we don't add an extra day every four of that years, it'se by 100 unless it's

in that sounds, confusing it is!o leap years and figure out what it's about and started with one very special leap day birthday embrace the latter. but why does daisy'sonly come around once every four years? >> reporter: do you know why we have a leap year? >> no. >> no.thing about the sun? >> to do with the seasons and global warming. >> i don't know. el nino?

be best to consult an expert. is theoretical futurist michio kaku.ar? >> you go around the sun is 3 65 days is what we learn in school, no?t 365 hours plus five hours and 49 minutes and a few odd seconds. that means that every year, we have to compensate for one quarter of a day.ears, we have to add one more day. >> reporter: when did we figure out the need for this extra day? it was way back in 46 b.c.r realized the calendar they were going after wasn't working. together they realized what the e need an extra day every four years to stay on track, so he instituted the julien calendar.

see? the solar year is only .242 days longer than the calendar year and not an even.25. when we add a full day every with a surplus of roughly 11 minutes every year, and that can start to add up. so, finally, in 1582, pope 17th fixed the glitch and instituted the calendar we how is it different? i'll let michio kaku minutes difference in one year's rotation builds up. and that is why the pope had to intervene and say we have to tweak the julien calendar one more time. so, for example, in the year s divisible by 400, there was a leap year, but in 1700 and 1800 and 1900, no, no leap year. then000 there was a

>> reporter: a lot of tweaking. >> yes. >> reporter: luckily, we have ount for all this. >> this particular watch has a wheel in it that turns run revolution every four years to accommodate the extra day. ngineered a wheel that turns once every four years? >> yes. >> reporter: many of us have to adjust the date on our watches at the end of every everybodyoes that for you. >> this hand represents the date. >> reporter: in order to see how it works, we looked at one under a microscope. >> a cycle of 48 leap year, so we have a cam of 48. we have 48 lobes and each lobe represents a month.ver a year and a half to construct one watch and it will set you back around $85,000. so you have four years to save up for the next leap year. around the traditions vary.

luck to get married any day of a leap year. up north a british tradition is the only day a woman can propose marriage to a man. for daisy, her birthday tradition has always been a nice . but this year is different. after all, it's not every day you turn 25! one last thing to think before morning. if you haven't left for work yet, you may want to consider just staying home! after all, if you're a salaried employ an extra day of work from you this year for free! >> good point, jamie! >> i wish i knew that before i came to work a great story. >> cool stuff. thank you. happy leap day. >> leap day. leap year and leap day.
