denzel washington is watering down the job of denzel magic in this called blue doped. >> they know thatsi is a brand name, they know that even if they don't know the chairman of the general mills. when you chop my doped down and then you call it blue magic that is trademarking. i would have to insist that you change the name. john: so is that how to work? change the name? >> if someone wants to come along and copy shakespeare's plays and talk about them being their own you now have to deal with a couple of albums and one would be the audience is going to know that you are ripping off shakespeare and you've lost your bad reputation and that these reputational issues work in the private market and you don't need a government come in and enforce them. john: what about music? sometimes we don't have the right. nick offerman talked about how the music copyright system works. >> stop the audio and shut it down and now. >> who are you? >> i'm an intellectual property attorney and used on the property. john: is that what you do warrants? >> i do that in court and not someone's workshop. john: t

even if it stars denzel washington, maybe one guy will be black. these shake downstairs are specifically designed for one person and that's it. (?) it's done in the name of all black people. it's not justice. it's a waste of energy. neil: people say gee, i never thought about it, but look at that, they are all white. charles: it's painful. you have to say. if i'm 21 years old. i have to say wow, what the heck is going on? how come there's no black people. then sharpton says it's because of racism. the way to fix that is to become a force. how do you become a force? become intellectual organized force that you can't be turned down because your skills are so great. lebron is the highest player in the nba is because he is great at basketball. be great as an executive and no company can turn you down. be great at other things and no one can turn you down. it's a matter of saying internally let's refocus our energize, put the emphasis on changing the industry and putting out young kids, so many of them that are so great that they can't be ignored. neil:

for some reason hackers also posted photos of actor denzel washington along with names, addresses and driver's licenses of new mexico residents. >> if somebody logs into your website and then changes that and then later logs into your twitter account and changes that, that makes me suspicious that they're getting the passwords from somewhere inside the organization. >> tv station wboc in maryland was also hacked yesterday. this was the second time that someone broke into the albuquerque journal sites. on christmas eve a masked face in black and white appeared on the home page with the message "christmas will never be merry any longer." >>> about 3,500 companies are showing off their latest gadgets at this year's consumer electronics show in las vegas. this is a basket with a sensor and an -- a basketball with a sensor and app and tells you when to dribble faster. there's a baby thermometer monitor. new high definition tvs are super thin and curved inward for a more cina mac experience. the show opened yesterday with about 35 football fields of exhibit space. >> one of the reasons it's

denzel washington is an extraordinary actor. malcolm x, for god's sake, a masterful performance. he got no award. but when he plays a drug dealer he gets the award. there are certain representations hollywood allows for. as far as the historical representation issue, many historians push back against the argument that lb j was as connected to king and the voting rights act as his opponents suggest. i'm not a historian of that time period so i won't debate that issue. but "the godfather ii" won an award and some cuban expert who is say what happened when fray doe gets lost from michael is not what happened according to bautista and castro. >> mark you and i know that this was a movie that was about true genuine history that should be told historically in context i would say perfectly. when you're talking act the godfather, you're not talking about a historical film about actual events. let's be honest about that. and here's the other thing. you and i both know -- >> did you see the movie? >> i've seen about 30 minutes of it. >> t

i think of the "hurricane" with denzel. this kind of stuff happens.much of a distraction is it for you when you're trying to focus on a story that hasn't been told? >> it was. it was a distraction for a while. it was a couple days where it really got me down. shame on me for letting that, you know -- >> you're here -- >> steal my joy. i am human. >> you are human. >> i am human. i am human. got me down for a little while just because of -- i know what my intention was. i know what my intention was. and that was not my intention. and i know what the intention of that rhetoric was. for a while, i got caught up in it and caught up in it if my own way, in my own heart. that time has passed. >> yeah. >> and so it is what it is. >> the one last question, then i'll move on. i'm asking because those of white house have known you for a long time, you were a big-time publicist -- >> wasn't a big-time publicist -- >> don't -- i'll embarrass you. i'll list the folks you brought on this show. they're a-list actors. are you a big-time -- anyway. that was your life

tom cruise doesn't have an obligation to a white audience but i feel and then still feels -- denzel feelsopen more doors to more women. >> when you are starting of course you do not say anything. you just want to work. you are so excited. it invited to the clubs, i'm here. i don't want to upset anyone. we always take care of each other. i know men who speak up that there should be more female roles. the role used to be a man and he changed it to a woman. >> because he saw you in the role? >> it was the character. it goes to show women and men are not that different. the da ease they could have been a woman as a man -- the da easily could have been a woman or a man. >> how is he different as a director? >> he is like an independent film director. i was really scared before i went to shoot that film. i thought, this is a blockbuster. you show up. all of the sets were practical. they built everything. no green screen. the dust was real. wait. we have enough money to go on. we finished i think two weeks early. >> here is a clip. >> will you spend the night? the room is exactly as you left it.

the most iconic speaker -- >> yes, and it happens again and again, it happened to malcolm x, it was denzelton's greatest performance and it was not nominated. none of them are a woman with a lead character driving the story. >> this is the point at which we should say the academy demographic website 94% white, 77% male. it would be like the sixth or seventh whitest state of the union. >> they all look like me, jewish, over 50, and it's pathetic. i quit if i was a member. >> i like you a little more. >> is it a case of people voting for the things that represent them? >> there is some -- a huge amount of this is subjective. it looks like what movie affected you. you could come in and there is a huge amount of -- these are not professional critics, right? they're not people that have all of the training, the tremendous rigorous training -- you have to go to critic school for nine years. >> these are the films that peoplement to see. none of the films are nominated for best picture made over $60 million? the box office. they're smaller films that didn't get a lot of support yet. and one of th

. >> he is like denzel washington or tom hanks, he is talking about behind him there.ably has not been clued in on what happened to france this morning so there is demonstrations out in front of the french embassy behind him. that was from berlin. >>> all right. it is the anniversary of the newlywed game. this thing started 48 years ago. >> yes. >> on this date. so we're going to dot newlywed game, "good day philadelphia" a style, so we have pared off into our tr husband is a and wife. it is alex and mike verse chris and lauren verse sue and bob, who knows most about each other let's play this game with dj providing the music. >> you have the edge on the rest of us. >> you have been married three days, we have been at perdue, we know fresh chicken. well, not that kind of fresh. but we do take extra steps in our farms, trucks that deliver daily and everywhere in between... ... to bring you a fresh tasting chicken. perdue. we believe in a better chicken. b@ imported chicken's been in the news a lot lately. for chicken that hasn't crossed an ocean look for perdue. we're t

perhaps arguably denzel washington's greatest performance.at's nominated for best pictures this time. eight pictures not a single one of them is told about a woman with a woman as a lead character driving the engine of the story. eight stories, eight dudes. women on the sidelines. what's up with that? >> this is the point at which we should say that the academy demographics, 94% white, 77% male. i think it would be like the sixth or seventh whitest state in the union if it were a state. >> they all look like me. jewish, over 50. it's pathetic. i would quit if i were a member. >> i'd like a little more. >> i agree. >> so is it just a case of people voting for the things that represent them? >> look there is a huge amount of this is subjective. it's like what movie affected you? you know what i mean? you could come in and there's a huge amount of -- these are not professional critics right? >> exactly. >> they're not people that have all the training tremendous rigorous training. >> i am pedigreed. >> you went to school for years. >> the argume

as a result no matter how much money your film makes here an i'm talking about not necessarily a denzel washington film, whether you're kevin hart or whatever, you live and die here. >> ifill: in the u.s. >> in the u.s. because those films are not distributed internationally, so as a result in a way you're sort of ghettoized into just having your films play here and that myth perpetuating itself that, oh the black experience is not of in i interest to the rest of the world. >> ifill: well we'll be able to watch and see what happens next in all of this not only oscar night but after that. ann hornaday of the "washington post" and mike sargent of pacifica radio, thank you both very much. >> you're welcome. thank you for having us. >> woodruff: the latest trade reports this week showed once again the extent to which china is a powerhouse in the world of international commerce. its exports came in above projections, even as the global economy is showing new signs of slowing. but while growth brings important benefits, it's also leading to some profound changes in day-to-day life there. our

about how he say, you know don cruz doesn't have an obligation to a white audience, but i feel and denzele have an obligation, it it is different and you feel like you have an obligation. >> i absolutely feel that. >> rose: how can i leverage this success i have or the achievement i have to open more doors to more women? >> definitely, i mean, there is a feeling we talked about how i started and i was on. the v and playing victims when you are starting, of course you don't say anything because you just want to work and you are so exiting and when you finally get excited to the club i am in the club, i am here, i don't want to upset anyone but we all have to take care of ever and i know incredible men who speak up there should be more women roles and the character i wrote was originally for a man and changed it to a woman. >> rose: because he saw you in the role? >> no, just because he realized there are so many stories about fathers and sons, how about a father and daughter, he didn't have to change anything else about the character he even kept the name. >> rose: that is great. >> so wom

denzel washington basically saying membership needs to be rethought because 90 percent are white, three-quarters are male, median age around 63. that is in the who the movie watching general public is. >> here's what surprises me, the contrast we are seeing from last year. the last year we saw three black acting nominees and 12 years a slave won best picture. here we go from now, and everyone talking about ana and her directing with this selma and for sure it will happen, i think people are surprised. >> one female director won an oscar for directing. >> she was in the first african-american woman to be nominated for a best director. >> yeah. >> yes. y enjoy it. >> thinks an age old question, and hope that happens. that blue and white graphic you have there did you see the break down of the the academy members. the people that actually vote for the nominees, and eventually vote for the winner. is there only about 3,000 of them. it may be hard to see. do you see break down. >> it is tough to see. >> yes. >> one thing that stand out, is best actress winners 99 percent white. >> 94 percent are whit
