[LAUGHING] 00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:11,437 I bought 30. I don't need them, but I'm rich, and they were on sale, so I don't care. Another big event is coming up this weekend, the Oscars. As you probably heard, something big will be missing this year. For the first time in over a decade, the Oscars ceremony will not have any Meryl Streep nominations. Sorry, Meryl. Maybe act harder next year. A lot of tough competition, though-- the Oscars-- boy, there's Roma, and there's BlacKkKlansman, and The Favourite. They're all nominated for Best Picture. But what's weird is The Favourite isn't the favorite. Roma is the favorite. Even though The Favourite is called the favorite, it's not the favorite. And BlacKkKlansman could win, even though it's not the favorite or The Favourite. 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,300 I'm saying the favorite, but I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly, because they spell it the British way. They have a U in it, so it's faver-ay-tay? Is that-- that's more French. Fay-vret-- no. 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,250 Fave-ret? No, I'm not good at accents. But, anyway, favourite has a U in it, which is-- I don't know where the U came from, and there's no I in team, but there's a U in favourite. And then there's also an I and favourite. 00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:41,420 Anyway, again, the best actor-- this is a very controversial category because, once again, no women were nominated. I'm not sure who will win, but everyone who's nominated put so much work into their roles. Christian Bale put on 40 pounds to play Dick Cheney. And Rami Malek-- he put on 40 pounds of teeth just to play Freddie Mercury. Bradley Cooper is also nominated. He wrote, directed, and starred in the movie. 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,220 I think A Star Is Born may win for best song. I really do. I think there's a good possibility. I do wish, though, that they would have left the original version in the movie. Did you see the original version? It's really good. [MUSIC PLAYING] 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,786 I think you're beautiful. (SINGING) I'm falling-- Hey. I just wanted to take another look at you. (SINGING) In all the good times, I find myself longing for change. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna sing that song that I love. 00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:52,390 [SINGING] 00:03:01,390 --> 00:03:03,790 (SINGING) I'm off the deep end. Watch as I dive in. I'll never meet the ground. 00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:16,390 We're far from the shallow now. [CHEERING]
