andy roesgen has the latest from flint. >> reporter: every single day thousands of cases of bottled water to the residents in this city of flint. in the last week or so, over 36,000 cases of bottled water have gone out, thanks to the michigan state police, the red cross, and the national guard. just this morning we saw another convoy of trucking leave on their mission. part of the goal is to get every single household in flint at least one clean water filter so at least one spigot in each household is doling out clean water. but nobody knows when the pipes will start operating normally. a lot of people blame the governor. tonight he is delivering his state of the state address where he will -- we expect him to apologize again for this water mess. but that is not satisfying the critics who are demanding he resign, some are even asking that he be criminally charged with this. >>> staying in the united states, filmmaker spike lee and actress judah pinkett smith are leading a boycott for the academy awards. gerald tan reports. >> reporter: it's the annual awards season when stars of the silve
