ago, when he was a major force in winning oscars.a fair comparison because netflix has bought the publicity firm that harvey weinstein often used to promote his films for academy awards consideration and now that firm works exclusively for netflix, they're working on roma and some other movies for them. so, it's a fair comparison, although they have not won yet, harvey weinstein at the weinstein company did win lots of oscars and you can say he had a special touch in winning those awards and netflix has not accomplished that yet but they are trying to. so, what will happen on the big night? well, there is a good chance that roma will pick up the trophy for best foreign language film and if it wins the best coveted picture award, that will of course delight netflix executives but make the big hollywood studios shudder over the encroaching competition. as you heard, roma with ten nominations co—leads the oscar field with a dark british period comedy the favourite, starring olivia colman, in a stand—out perormance as queen anne. this mu

the oscars are not like that.d i think another reason is that it probably was not handled well in how it was presented, at first it sounded like these people would be cut from the oscars going forward and then it was explained that there would be a rotation, cinematographers this year and someone else next year... the big thing was that they decided to cut cinematography and editing, which is the essence of how a film gets made. those were all the various reasons why you had that push back and it turned into such controversy that they reverse the decision and now everything will be live, but then how do you get it down to three hours? that was the goal. it is a challenge and you have successfully navigated one of the big challenges, you could not see what was going on behind you, but our audience will have seen, you are wearing a very practical dress when you‘re walking around with so much stuff on the ground, there was another woman in a rather large dress who nearly came to grief as she tried to navigate all the

but first the oscars are the really big deal today and a lot happening there i'm joined by our film expert scott rush progress looking none the worse for wear for the long night. of music that's because. you know how surprised were you at this win for green book yeah i mean if you're going to design an oscar winning film green book would take a lot of the boxes because it's out of the store it's a feel good story about overcoming racism through the power of friendship. it's also a true story which is come hollywood loves as well in this case it's based on a real man who is a racist italian american played by vehicle boards and in the film becomes the chauffeur of a very successful black musician and together in one nine hundred sixty s. segregationist southern america they travel through the southern states and. if i describe it you briefly probably say it's a bit like driving miss daisy except in kate instead of morgan freeman being the chauffeur just that handy in this case you have a white man doing the driving ok so i'm detecting a slight note of skepticism there but we do learn about

that so tell us about next year there's going to be a change of dates because the oscars are going to be before it now how's that going to change the festival yeah that's going to have a really incredible impact it's going to really have a domino effect on the entire festival season but particularly berlin so but when traditionally it's always been before the oscars and that's been advantageous on one side because it's helped attract sort of big stars and big films that have oscar chances to grow and vice was a good example this year christian bale film which is oscar nominated. there's always been a disadvantage though too because it's difficult for the business people who want to go back and forth between hollywood and berlin to make the trip if they have to go back so quickly to get to the oscars next year could be after the oscars will be good for business you'll probably see more business done in berlin buying and selling in movies but is going to be bad for the fans i think because the really big hollywood films won't be probably won't be coming because they'll all be doing thei

breaking news from the oscars.ing for if beale street could talk. there were a lot of strong actresses, emma stone and is rachel weisz both nominated for the favourite. but it is regina king who has won best supporting actress in herfilm, if beale has won best supporting actress in her film, if beale street could talk. it is the first of the awards to be given out at the oscars. of course, the moment we get any more we will bring them to you. graduations to be winners. you are watching you stay on the bbc, live from singapore and london. still to come, as donald trump prepares to meet kim jong—un, we talk to members of japan's korean community meet kim jong—un, we talk to members ofjapan‘s korean community about the hopes for the summit. prince charles has chosen his bride. the prince proposed to lady diana spencer three weeks ago. she accepted, she says, without hesitation. as revolutions go, this had its fair share of bullets. a climax in the night outside the gates of mr marcos's sanctuary, malacanang — the name

chances to berlin vice was a good example this year christian bale film which is oscar nominated. there's always been a disadvantage though too because it's difficult for the business people who want to go back and forth between hollywood and berlin to make the trip if they have to go back so quickly to get to the oscars next year could be after the oscars will be good for business you'll probably see more business done in berlin buying and selling in movies but is going to be bad for the fans i think because the really big hollywood films won't be probably won't be coming because they'll all be doing their oscar campaigns in l.a. and after the oscars everyone just wants to take a couple of months off before the whole machine starts get go and going again so i think next year might see more business but fewer stars and two new bosses to the festival how is that going to change. because of his leaving after eighteen years as we said we've got two people coming in. and risen back it'll be interesting to see what they do they'll have to face a lot of challenges the oscars only being

therein lies the nub of the oscars problem.money? that's show business. that certainly is show business. a lot of people are saying this year it is quite political. it is controversial, on the one hand, because the academy has been trying to change the programme. they have tried to make it shorter, three hours instead of the long four. trying to boost the ratings that have dropped. the politics, a number of the best picture films deal with racism in america. so we can expect some comments about that. but there is quite a diversity among the best films. we have also got a lesbian love triangle, for example, in the film the favourite. we have a spanish art film about 1970s mexico city in the mix. what is interesting, especially about these oscars, is the diversity of the best films on the fact that although we do have front—runners, we are not sure who could win. the field is open. diversity of films, no female directors nominated, though. barbara, many thanks. i know you will be monitoring the evening's it is. barbara plett ushe
