academy had to make some progress some some firsts if you will but they didn't pursue them for one jordan peele the director of get out an african-american was nominated but did not win best picture or best director he did win for best writer which was a first for african-americans in the in the movie business granted gerwig was the director of lady bird a very popular film. real crowd favorite but she did not win as best director had she done so she would have been only the second female best director in hollywood history. and finally the. sorry sorry robert i was going to jump in there's a bit of a delay on the line isn't there and i'm just going to ask you about the theme of this year's awards because of course last year it was heavy on the racial diversity issues and this year quite often the year the themes are driven not only by the host how did jimmy kimmel a manager at this year's ceremony. and you know i think that the most interesting moment was when frances mcdormand picked up her oscar and asked all the women industry professionals directors cinematographers actors all the women in

jordan peele, get out. this was the first time a black...i stopped writing this movie about 20 times because i thought it was impossible. it thought it wasn't going to work. i thought no one would ever make with this movie, but i kept coming back to it because i knew if someone let me make this movie that people would hear it and people would see it. james ivory, call me by your name. this writer made history, too. at 89, he's the oldest ever oscar winner. but politics and protests were never far away. three of harvey weinstein‘s accusers lined up to deliver this message. the changes we are witnessing are being driven by the powerful sound of new voices, of different voices, of our voices joining together in a mighty chorus that is finally saying "time's up". and the oscar goes to... last year, this famous duo announced the wrong winner. no such problem this time. the shape of water. although the director wanted to make sure! the greatest thing our art does and our industry does is to erase the lines in the sand. we should continue doing tha

foreign language movie category a fantastic woman which is a transgender drama from she lay and jordan peele who is up for best director for his film get out also was earlier a winner in the category of best writer and he's the first african-american ever to win that honor now there hasn't been a great deal of overt speechifying about the harvey weinstein affair or the me to move but there have been some mentions jimmy kimmel who is the master of ceremonies here at the oscars did say that what happened to weinstein being thrown out of the academy and generally disgraced was long overdue and he said the entire world is watching the film industry to make sure that it makes good on some of the promises to reform itself. in the wake of this very widespread sex scandal. so some rob what's that the main takeaway of the night sat sun fog and i mean we had to have they didn't film what there has thirteen now that nominations the shape of water as want to as one of the top contender assess so far how they've done. well it so far they have leave we've not her had the final report of the night or the f

that kind of sexual harassment but there are a couple of opportunities were missed for example jordan peele the director of get out was not chosen he could have been the first african-american director ever picked up by the academy again gretta gerwig female director if she had won for a ladybird she would have been only the second female director so on and rachel morrison brilliant cinematographer who worked on the movie mudbone she was also overlooked in that category so it's it's a mixed bag i guess if you were looking for really strong evidence that the hollywood had church turned a corner and had a really repudiated it all of the sexual harassment and under representation you might be disappointed all right rob reynolds lifer standing in los angeles. now a south korean delegation is on its way to north korea for two days of talks in response to an invitation delivered by north korean leader kim jong un sr during her visit to the pyong chang winter olympics in south korea the delegation will include the chief of south korea's national intelligence service rob mcbride is live for us in s

second woman to ever win an oscar for direction other firsts that could happen tonight would be jordan peele the director of get out if you were to win he'd be the first african-american to win and rachel more since she is a camera person and if she were to win she'd be the first ever female cinematographer to win but in terms of best picture now as you mentioned a lot of people are betting on the shape of water but it does seem a little odd to some people that the academy which is kind of conservative would go for a film that is after all a kind of hybrid creature feature love story not exactly the kind of thing that they usually go for and then there's get out as i mentioned that was by far the biggest film that's been nominated for best picture at the box office so a crowd pleaser there but again it's a horror movie even though it deals with some very serious themes of of white supremacy and racism and then there's three billboards a lot of people are saying the frances mcdormand is going to win for her portrayal of a grief stricken and furiously angry mother very strong female role in a
