the refunds also important with that smart trip card because they would be automatic. no forms, no action required by the customer you will getter e-mail notifying you that you're eligible for the credit and then the credit would appear on your smart trip card within five days. metro bus customers eligible for the refunds but there will be some kind of a web form set up for them. now after the safetrack progra, new rail cars and improved schedule link metro says that today nine out of ten weekday trains arrive on time. still ridership is down. people lack confidence and that means less revenue. but will this new plan help keep current riders win back dissatisfied customers we put the question to riders on twitter it is clear they are still a skeptical bunch. here's a couple of the tweets we got. one, oh, please, next. well, it's better than nothing. from sheila. we had t from queens who said, they'll never actually make this policy, and

just because we are on tv it doesn't mean we don't have feelings. and this one, you know, this one struck close to home. i've always been a curvy person. i've always said i wish i had thinner legs. but now more than ever i'm 47 years old, i've been walking on these legs for 47 years i have two beautiful boys, i want to be a roll model for the girls out there that want to get into television and have curvy bodies. >> absolutely. >> aren't the same size. everyone has a joanne out there. she actually took her post down from social media. i only want the best for her. maybe if she took a moment and said, you know what, maybe -- i don't know who does those kind of of things. >> exactly. >> i'm not a person that would get on social media and criticize somebody for their looks. so you know maybe she's going through turmoil in her life. i don't know. i don't know joanne. i only wish her the best and all i wanted toed was raise awareness for young women out there and i think now is the time to be empowered by what we look like and stand tall. >> well it is a powerful message i'

to the floor, yes, we do need to show women out there that we come in multiple shapes, sizes, colors, et cetera, and all of it should be celebrated and you're right, i think that women who wrote into you far more people who take happened in their lives they're not happy with and they project and you know they say something that maybe even in their normal life they wouldn't ordinarily say kudos to you for handling it very classy and dig tide way and may be a lesson to all of who occasionally maybe want to pop off on someone who might say something a little not nice. right?

award. i've been a member for seven years. behind me you can see all the tables where all the stars will be tonight. i mean there are names on these tables that everyone knows. gal gadot to patti jenkins to dell torro, queue mel from the movie the big sick angelina jolie's name is over there. it will be a huge night and a lot of awards to be given out. the show will be airing 8:00 o'clock eastern time on the cw. now, in the major categories the shape of water is leading all of the categories with 14 nominations for the movie the shape of water. other films that are nominated as well are call me by your name, dunkirk, lady bird, three billboards which took home the best picture drama award at the golden globes this past sunday. but, yes, one of the things interest tonight obviously everything that's happening in hollywood right now with the sexual assault and harassment story line now obviously the new news come out recently is james franco, james franco was nominated and won the

award for musical comedy at the golden globes. his seat is right over there. i'm curious if he's actually going to end up being here tonight. i know a news story came out today in the la times with interviews of five women coming forward to talk about sexual assault and sexual harassment. i'm interested to see what happens there. but the movie -- the show is airing tonight at 8:00 o'clock on the cw. olivia mu new jersey n is hosting the show which is very very awesome. looking forward to that as well. great nomination but one of the most important things do you bough tonight i'm very very excited about is gal georgia dot. she's receiving a see her award. this is being presented by patti jenkins the director of wonder woman and it's going to be a really really great moment to see her on stage no pun intended. she really is an amazing force and amazing actress. she was amazing in wonder woman earlier this year we'll city the golden globes were a predictor for the critics choice awards because i believe that this show is obviously a very big predictor of the oscars this year. >> kevin, i have a couple

questions, first of all in terms of the actual awards themselves, water is going to get little bit of redemption from the golden globes because it was maybe some say a shock or i've also heard that the post was gaining steam and who did you vote for for best picture? can you tell us? >> i voted for dunkirk for best picture because i saw the movie nine times, i saw it six times in theaters but, yes, to answer your question dell torro the director of the shape of water won the golden globe. i believe the shape of water will take home the best picture award tonight. again, our category we have a single best picture category. we also divide into best action and best comedy but the major winner will be one singular best picture unlike the golden globes musical comedy and best picture drama i think the shape of water will home tonight, 14 nominations. the post, yes, it does have steam. don't get me wrong. meryl streep and tom hanks are great in that film. it's very timely movie spielberg specifically had that movie made now bec

between the nixon err era and trump administration and freedom of press. it's a very important film. i'm interested to see how that plays out tonight as well. but don't discount three billboards. three billboards is the movie that won best picture drama at the golden globe awards and we'll see if that ends up upsetting the again tonight here at the critics choice awards. >> i also heard a lot of people didn't like the post was shout at the golden globes and one of the reasons why it's starting to gain steam iowa ton talk about oy live yes munn kevin she's an actress but very much an active tiff visit. very outspoken about sexual harassment in hollywood. what do you think, how she going to set the tone do you think for this awards? listen, i think that owe live yes mu new jersey n is going to do an interesting job. here's why i think she's going to do a great job. she watch the golden globes the other night. she was tweeting along about seth myers' speech by the way, and i think that tone has to be very important considering she's a woman and considering that she's -- i t

amazing amazing platform here to talk about what's happening in hollywood. and being that seth myers took it on head first when he did the award should be show in the golden globes ideas any reason why she would not take that on. i mean if anything she needs to talk about it. and she's going to have a great platform to do so. i'm very interested to see how she's she handle that is night here at the globes. >> many people may not realize her first job was a professional host for the g4 network. i think she'll do a great job. kevin you get a good seat. sit by somebody famous and we'll check in with you tomorrow. we can't wait to hear all about. >> follow along on instagram kevin mccarthy tv i am a voting member it's very very cool to be here in this room as i used to watch this show all the time when i was in college and then also first starting off with my career so be in roth room is always very surreal moment for me. christopher nolan by the way, he'll be sitting right there in hans zimmer. i'll be freaking out. >> we got to go. thank

it's cool for me just to know you the voting member. all right. >> take care, guys. >> bye guys. >> steve, over to you. >> we can say that again next year he was just as excited last year. >> when he sat next to ryan reynolds. >> that was pretty awesome. meghan dave vase mid her name on youtube with covers and match ups and now she's writing her own music and hitting the road. she's life in the loft to perform her new single before you see her tonight here in d.c. ♪ z2kqoz z16fz
