announced the wrong winner? miss juuniverse saying have you people call our people. this echos what a lot of people felt. oprah saying what? like, people just couldn't believe this. and at least oscar though, they got it right online. they tweeted out best picture went to "moonlight" and ellen took it in stride saying nothing like live tv and that is something that we know pretty well. >> i was going to say, that's true. >> thank you. there were plenty of great moments beside that great moment. open the nbc washington app to see what else they said and of course read the full list of the winners. all right. just when you thought the weather roller coaster was over, think again. >> might be cool now but there's another warmup coming. >> you'll need your warm coat and long sleeves f

investigators and notified federal prosecutors in some cases including the case of a virginia man who worked and caught on the job at the fbi. >> do you regret doing that? >> of course. i mean, it was -- it was the best way i could describe it is ridiculous for me to do that. >> our i-tem report shows you why some federal officials isn't policing all of its workers closely enough. offering penalties as little as a reprimand for computer misuse. >> a new study says d.c.'s public schools are highly segregated. many schools were enrolling almost exclusively students of color. that's avenue a steady stream of white families moving into the city in recent years. the group says city officials haven't done enough to lure white families into public schools and todi
