Well, we've been talking about it all week long.
Now,
only two days away from seeing stars light up
Hollywood for its biggest night of the year.
We're talking all things Oscars this morning.
Take a look over Hollywood Boulevard here,
which is where preparations are wrapping up
ahead of the 96 Academy Awards all week long.
We highlighted several categories like best supporting actor, best picture
actress ahead of this Sunday. Yeah, we'll be covering the Oscars all weekend long.
We have a star studded crew down in Los Angeles right now,
including our own morning show, superstar Mar.
All
there he is. He's got the highlights of the weekend, celebrating last year's movie.
But there are several out right now. You're telling us that are worth a watch.
Yeah, exactly. All eyes are on the Oscars on Sunday.
That's where we celebrate movies. But where would we be without those movies?
So let's talk about movies you can see this weekend and then
I'll tell you more about what to expect with the Academy Awards.
Gonna stay home. Chill Netflix make it damsel. This movie is amazing.
Damsel kind of flips the Princess story upside
down in a way you've never seen before.
Milly Bobby Brown is the prince.
It begins very traditionally where she marries the prince
and then the prince throws her off a cliff. She survives the fall.
What happens after that?
You got to see it.
Just trust me, heavily female, powerful forward,
Millie Bobby Brown is amazing in it.
I'll cut to the chase.
She also has a line of cosmetics and I wanted to surprise her by wearing some of it.
Take a look.
I think it's good for my generation
to feel like they can see themselves on screen.
Well, you and movies like this make the world a better place. We appreciate it.
Thank you so much. Now I have a confession to make to you.
I, I accepted a dare out in the hallway and, and I took it
and currently in front of you,
you may not have noticed it,
but I'm wearing some of this and I've never felt more fabulous. I'm so proud of you.
Um And they said you realize it may change your lip color. I don't think it did.
No, no, no, no, no. That is the, that's the one that changes to your ph levels.
So you're good. It's not gonna change your, you look great.
Yes,
that's funny.
I,
so I wore that because I thought my lips would
be glowing and she would say what's with your lips?
And I was gonna say I'm wearing your cosmetics. She has her own line called Mills.
Not a commercial. I bought that for the gag,
but it didn't really show up. It just made me feel fabulous.
So there, it backfired altogether. All right. New to theaters. Bigger than life.
It is Kung Fu Panda. Four. Hard to believe.
This has been part of our lives for 20 years.
It's been 10 years since the last Kung Fu panda. That would be Kung Fu Panda three.
What's new?
Well,
Jack Black is back but now he's joined by Awkwafina
who is amazing as a sly fox in this movie.
I caught up with her in San Francisco uh to talk to
her about being the head of the Chinese New Year's parade.
She was the grand marshal for that and also some other stuff. Take a look.
Nice to see you again.
Nice to see you.
Yeah, lots going on today,
big day for you hosting a parade actually being the grand marshal.
How does that make you feel
nerve wracking? It's nerve wracking.
But I like I'm nervous but I am actually
deeply honored to have come back to San Francisco
um as, as the grand marshal. My, my family is freaking out.
Um I just hope that everyone has fun and that and that I,
and then I do OK,
she did an amazing job. I witnessed her sign no less than 3000 autographs.
She was in San Francisco most of the day you may have heard in that conversation.
She said good to be back in San Francisco. What's wild about this?
I interviewed her in the Fairmont Hotel.
If you're a Marvel fan and you saw the Marvel movie, Shang
Qi, she played uh a valet parker at that very hotel in that movie.
So everything kind of come full circle.
All right. Want to go to, hey, slow it down there, pal, slow it down.
Wanna go to the movies in a big way and see something truly scary.
Go to the theaters to see imaginary Jason Blum does horror movies like no other.
This is his latest, uh, imagine the movie Ted only instead of a teddy bear comedy,
it kind of meets up with Annabelle.
Very creepy. The teddy bear's name is Chauncey.
I caught up with two of the young stars Chauncey was in the room. Look
because
you
left
for me.
My favorite scene isn't in any of the trailers,
but I will tell you one of my favorite things to film was painting the blue door and
getting to see that full scene come into action and see all the things that were on.
Alice's scavenger hunt list
and to see them all come together
and like,
oh, so that's what this is, that's what this is.
And
you get to see things that she collected throughout the movie. And then
right when that blue door becomes the gateway,
it,
it really puts the whole thing together and it's like Oh,
we're wrapping it up.
But what do you think chauncey's gonna say about me as I leave the room behind my back,
he's a little bit of diva. So you don't
know,
not playing. I was creeped out.
Truly creeped out when that bear started moving. Not even playing just a little bit.
Uh All right back here live.
If you ever come down to see the Academy Awards and hope that like days of yore,
you're gonna see them step out of the cars onto the red carpet.
You're not, you're pretty much if you can even see anything,
you're just gonna see that white tent.
But see this chain link fence about an hour,
this chain link fence itself is going to have a big curtain,
you're gonna see nothing.
So just go see a movie and that's my favorite movie theater on the planet.
The El Capitan has the best sound, the best lights.
It even has a live organ player before movies. So that's kind of special.
All right, let's come back in here live. I don't want to mess up like uh
the morning show from Germany over there.
I'm not gonna walk through their shot and mess that up right now.
I'll just suffice to say you want to see the action camera guy Julian
and I are gonna be here 24 7 for the next few days.
Sunday. We'll be live on the red carpet.
Take a look at my new show called,
take a look where I'm sitting down with all of the nominees.
Uh, and then of course,
the Oscars an hour earlier and the stars are gonna be groggy because
they got an hour less sleep because they got up an hour earlier
because of daylight savings time.
Here you go. I think I've covered it all more to come at 11.
Yeah,
I heard Jimmy Kimmel telling you that he's
worried they're going to miss his monologue.
So thanks for that reminder about daylight saving time.
Keep those clocks where they're supposed to be, just make sure. Four.
All
right. Thank you so much. Join us right here on ABC 10 4. Oscar Sunday starts at one
with Marques.
All
is Mars,

brand new show called Take a Look. He was just talking about it.
Then a special Bartels back road goes to the movies at 130
World News tonight with David Muir will be on it too.
Then a special edition of ABC 10 News.
Then of course, will be live from the Oscars red carpet starting at 230.
