mcdaniel, they don't want to admit that hip-hop is a reflection of.r. >> hold on. let me ask you this. when you say i listened to hip-hop as a white kid and it gives me insight, you say it like you had a level of empathy. it made me feel as though i'm implicated and wanted to act. particularly by people again, whether they be black middle-class folks or whether they be white folks in all kinds of classes tends to be consumptive. i want to get some of that cool urban blackness to play on my radio but not connecting to the questions of struggle. >> yeah. but i think for some that is certainly the case. as i grew up i watched many of the kids i grew up with who fell apart from hip-hop and fell out of love with hip-hop but for many of us it kept the election going to us as sort of a high point of this cultural movement of young people black white, asian, latino gay straight, for folks like mr. mcdaniel, he doesn't want that. >> let me go back because i like this idea that part of what hip-hop is young people on the margins who are in a struggle. if you wa

so i think that that night it was to say to hattie mcdaniel, here we go, sister, and i appreciate allhave to. i was having feelings of also saying to the academy i appreciated that they didn't buy into all that the media was saying. you know, that i was being this diva and i was being difficult because i didn't campaign for an award, that i felt like, guys, the performance is on the screen. i don't know what else i can do so i was appreciative that the academy said we won't buy into that. we're going to buy into the performance, which i think that that's what it should be and when they called my name, it was a feeling of, okay, miss hattie mcdaniel, here we go. >> you had the long breath and it was amazing. let's -- i want to talk to you -- get deeper with this. there have been >>> why do you think african-americans are so underrepresented during award season? ? when we get to the award season i think it's unfair to put it on the awards season. because if we turn on tvs right now from channel 1 to channel 1,000, you'll see just how underrepresented we are. so to just put it anon the a

hatty mcdaniel was the first african-american to win an academy award in 1939 for mammy in gone withd in "monster's ball." denzel washington has been nominated six times, a record for pa black man, and has twice walked away with a win, as a defiant ex-slave in u.s. army soldier in "glory" and for a murderous, angry, lying cop in "training looking at this year's nominees and wondering if we're seeing the same old, same old. joining me now, film critic for "new york" magazine and cbs sunday morning. aisha, you wrote about your frustration with the nominees coming out, particularly the absence of a few movies. what were you hoping to see that were not there? >> my biggest disappointment was with "fruitvale station" not getting any nominations at all. for a while, there was a belief that it would at least come away with acting nods or sympathetic like that, but it didn't. and it just felt like this is a movie of now, it speaks to the here and now, and i was hoping it would kind of pull away with a "beast of the southern wild" type underdog story. >> so "fruitvale station" tells the story

. >> your state is a little more contentious, thad mcdaniel, cochran. for your party, or not? democrats could end up finding a candidate, attorney general or somebody else there, and could cause you headaches, could it not? >> it could be healthy. we have to see. >> you're not 100% convinced it's healthy yet? >> my goal is not have people look, if it weren't for mississippi, we could have taken the united states senate back. we have a state senator with a lot of support from out of state groups and other people, senator thad cochran, o'brien, who's popular with everybody, chief of staff kirk sims to manage the campaign, which is a positive thing for thad cochran. it's going to be an interesting race, but our goal is not have a circular firing squad. >> sounds like you're weighing in on the side of thad cochran. >> i'm not breaking it down. state party is prohibited from endorsing. >> how many? >> we need to get one, yeah. we need another one. we have a big pitch. >> chris, joe, thanks for your time. apologize it got a little short here. got a big packag

however, attorney general mcdaniel himself opposes discrimination of any kind."? will legislature change things, or will he change his mind? >> well, obviously, he would prefer something to be on the ballot for the state to change things. it does put these guys in a tough spot and that often is their answer. i think that would be where he would like to see things go. >> 33 couples, including same-sex couples, were married at the grammy awards last night, just have a quick look. >> by the power bested in me by the state of california, i now pronounce you a married couple! ♪ ♪ open your heart to me baby >> you talk about how every time you do a story there are more democrats that are for it and few are against it. i mean, how much is the general consensus of the tide shifting going to have an impact on here moving forward? >> i think tremendously. even the democrats in deeply conservative states, if i did this story a year ago wouldn't say what they said now, which is i support same-sex marriage or also want to do my job and defend the constitution. >> good piece.

that many groups have made their living and have the tedup by endorsing cruz is of the world, chris mcdaniel running against mississippi. is the rise of ted cruz, mike lee, rand paul -- i put them in a group even though i know there ,re quite clear the differences your point is that we are not really in and anomalous time. we just think we are. conservative republican and i looked at the federalist tapers and i think our government is not the sign to move fast. they fear a government of passions of the moment making big radical decisions like changing 1/6 of our economy on partyline votes. >> i don't know what you are referring to. >> that's not what the founders wanted. i like the idea that it has complications, problems, slows things down. -- madison said the factions come by. you have tea party movements which are far more fractured which i'm sure moveon.org is more fractured than i realized. is good.any when you add what i think is a really smart system that forces all of these groups to fight, i think it's healthy that all of these are coming in. i oppose labour in a lot of situations.
