reporter: tom hanks and steven spielberg receive rave review for "bridge of sighs." prison, the next russian operative might think twice about keeping his mouth shut. abel might want to see the sky again. >> this takes a man who is willing to go deep, deep, deep into the nuts and bolts of the law. that requires a very special kind of attention, energy and faith in the nuts and bolts that he had. my job was to make that evident in every opportunity i had. >> the boston priest come molested kids in six different parishes over 30 years. the church did nothing. reporter: journalism takes the spotlight as the film look about the investigation of the catholic church becomes the front runner in the oscar race for best picture. >> we have got the story about a degenerate clergy and the story about a bunch of lawyers turning child abuse into a cottage industry.
