After some storms to start the week, the days ahead should be milder with sunshine prevailing out west. I havent a right. Osgood ahead, oscar winner and n. C. I. S. Los angeles star. Oh, bugger. Sgood . Linda h osgood you dont have to be a king or queen to order up a command performance these days. Our cover story is reported now by tracy smith. Reporter before the big screen was actually big movies were more personal. It was just you a crank, and a few hundred flipping cards. Primitive but it was on demand. The truth is the very first Motion Pictures could be watchedded on a hand held device. In the hundred odd years since flip books it seems movies have come full circle. Today everything is possible. It becomes a consumer choice. Reporter carl goodman runs new yorks museum of the moving image. It started off little. Then we enjoyed this communal experience. And now its becoming, for some people at least a solitary and tiny screen again. You can watch lawrence of arabia on an iphone. It doesnt necessarily mean you should. Reporter yeah, it might be hard to imagine the vast emptiness of the desert on a small screen. But it is mighty convenient. Throughout the history of movies, people go to the movies. Movies now go to the customers. On their personal screen. Reporter jason is an associate professor at the university of southern californias school of cinematic arts. I would imagine there are film makers who would say no, no, no, no, this is hair see. This is not how my film should be seen. Well, but also film makers are likely to say i want my product to be seen. And if its going to be visited and revis ited no doubt something will draw them back. But these changes are awfully exciting. They come down to more choices for customers. This is a good thing. Reporter and that might be the founding principle of netflix, the Company Started in 1997 as a movie dvd by mail service. All those bright red envelopes remember . Theyll still send you a dvd but most of their 27 million plus subscribers pay around 8 a month to have unlimited movies or tv shows streamed directly to them. With all of their choices queued up waiting to be watched. And right now netflix is the biggest player in video streaming. During peak internet use hours thats between 9 00 p. M. And 12 00 a. M. Netflix use accounts for 33 of all streaming traffic in north america. Youve heard that people blame streaming movies for the reason people arent going to movie theaters. Do you think thats fair . No, i think its the opposite. I think the reason that people keep going at all is because of their love more films. Were always encouraged by growth. Reporter netflix customers get to see what this man buys. That makes him one of the biggest players in hollywood right now. How deep are your pockets . Pretty big. Reporter they have to be. Netflix recently inked a deal to pay disney 350 million a year to carry disney movies starting in 2016. Theres a pricey deal with dream works for a cartoon series based on the upcoming movie turbo. Do you have deals with just about every studio. We have some deal with every studio and every network. Reporter every studio and every network. Nobody is not in business with netflix in some position. Reporter nobody is not in business. Theres not a major supplier. We have about 250 suppliers. If you own the right to your content probably it gets rights to netflix. Reporter there has been an occasional stumble. In 2011 netflix announced it would split its streaming video and dvd by mail business and raise prices. It all made sense on paper but after subscribers howled and left in droves the plan was scrapped. How many subscribers did you lose . Oh, i dont know. We went negative pour the first time. It was a blip in the history of this company. Reporter even though the stock was taking off. Come on. People werent upset about that. The stock from the employees standpoint has been a wild ride. Reporter while those who were saying netflix is doomed what were you thinking . I hope theyre wrong. Reporter and netflix might have the last laugh. The Company Makes money by adding subscribers. The best way to do that, they figure, is to give people something they cant see anywhere else. So now netflix is making its own mustsee tv. It looks positively medieval doesnt it. Reporter they ponied up a reported 100 million to produce house of cards a Political Drama starring oscarwinning actor kevin spacey. As for me im just a lowly House Majority whip. I keep things moving in a congress choked by pettiness. My job is to clear the price and keep the sludge moving. Reporter netflix released the entire first season on Super Bowl Weekend. Viewers can binge on all 13 episodes if they want, in one sitting. Im going to stop you there. We are not nominating you for secretary of state. I know he made you a promise. But circumstances have changed. The nature of promises, linda, is that they remain immune to changing circumstances. Reporter so did this highstakes gamble pay off with a bumper crop of new customers . He wont say. You must have seen some effect from house of cards. Yes. The biggest thing for house of cards is on Super Bowl Weekend in america people were talking netflix and house of cards. Reporter you must have seen subscribers go up. We are happy with the impact of the show for sure. Reporter thats all youre going to say. Yes. Are you really telling me all the money is gone . Reporter of course netflix isnt alone. Amazon for one has its own streaming service and rights to downton andy and other shows. It means more shows and more movies on more devices for less money but this too comes at a price. Endless choices. Endless options. Infinite options. Reporter for longtime film critic leonard malten theres no place like a movie house. You go into the theater and youre seeing it in a big space in the dark surrounded by other people who are just as excited as you are to see the movie. Larger than life on the big screen. Thats experiencea. Experienceb, youre riding on the subway and youre watching it on your little iphone. As something to pass the time as youre commuting. You tell me if theres a difference in twos two experiences. Reporter and movies should be special and different . I think movies should be special and different. I think movies should be different from the new episode of the price is right. Yeah, i do think they should be. I am big. Its the picture that got small. Reporter true enough. But the stream is only getting bigger. The technology is all consuming. Reporter u. S. C. Film school jason squire says from time to time it helps to look away. I do recommend just getting quiet and within ones self and see what happens. Reporter how can i do that when i have this huge netflix cue that i need to watch . Thats another choice. Off to see the wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of oz osgood were off to see the wizard next. I tuned it all out. With unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters. My individual health profile. Not random statistics. They even reward me for addressing my health risks. So im doing fine. But shes still going to give me a heart attack. Were more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. Thats health in numbers. Unitedhealthcare. Somewhere over the rainbow way up high reporter and now a page from our sunday morning almanac. February 24, 1938, 75 years ago today. The day hollywood set off down the yellow brick road. Follow the yellow brick road osgood a small item in variety that day told the world mgm had acquired the film rights to the wizard of oz and it cast judy garland at dorothy. Based on a beloved Childrens Book the wizard of oz was a big budget film for its time costing nearly 2. 8 million to produce and distribute. A price tag driven up by its use of the still new medium of technicolor to highlight dorothys arrivals and adventures in oz. I have a feeling were not in kansas anymore. Osgood dorothys journey with the scare crow, tin man and cowardly lion unfolded across a fantasy landscape. It concluded with the clicking together of those ruby red slippers. There is no place like home. Theres no place like home. Osgood despite a veritable tornado of publicity including a personal appearance by judy garland at the new york opening the tale of the time in her emerald city did not immediately strike box office gold. In fact it barely made a profit on its initial release and lost best picture honors to gone with the wind though over the rainbow did win the oscar for best original song. But thanks to tv presentations and home video releases over the years, the wizard of oz has gone on to become the most watched Motion Picture ever made. According to the library of congress. One of the last surviving munchkins once offered a theory about the secret of its success. Americas fairy tale. Theres no place like home. Thats the truth. Osgood if ever a hit of the show biz there was the wizard of oz was one because. Well, just because. The Wonderful Wizard of oz osgood ahead hope you saved room for popcorn.

Ask your Health Care Provider about novolog® flexpen® today osgood pop goes the Cash Register at movie theaters where pop goes the corn. Mo rocca has a bucket of facts and figures. Reporter the biggest moneymaker at movie theaters last year wasnt from a comic book. Or Steven Spielberg. Now now now. Reporter and didnt involve wear wolves or vampires. Just like every year, the numberone blockbuster was the concession stand. And its most bankable store popcorn. Each year americans eat on average about 13 gallons of the stuff. A lot of it at the movies. The bag you pay 5 for only costs the theater about 50 cents. A lot of people buy popcorn. Reporter melissa is a manager at film foreign an independent movie house in manhattan. The New York Times gave their popcorn a rave review. How does this make you feel . It makes me a little bit nervous because usually when it starts popping, that means its starting to get busy in the theater. Reporter you associate this sound with crowd control. Yes. And getting busy. There you go. There it is. Reporter but popcorn and the movies didnt always go together says andrew smith. Why should you listen to him . Hes the man who wrote the book on popcorn. Movie theaters early on had no popcorn whatsoever. No snack bar. They had grand lobbies and gorgeous rugs. The last thing they wanted was people with popcorn. Reporter then what happened . Well you had the depression. When the depression hit lots of movie theaters closed but then they found out if they lowered their admission fee then they could actually make a larger profit if they could sell snack food which popcorn was part of their largest profit. Reporter popcorn not only saved movie houses but also played a role in what ended up on screens. What theater owners found was those movies that were targeted at children were the ones that sold the most popcorn. So consequently, this is where they made their profit. They made a profit on saturday matinees and on sunday matinees. Reporter it wasnt just kids movies that turned out to be popcorn friendly, says smith. Grownups were chowing down during suspenseful dramas. What they found very quickly was adults would eat a lot more popcorn when you have drama in the theaters. Its almost automatic thing that its there and theres tension going on. So people were probably eating a lot of popcorn during the poseidon adventure. Reporter quite the accomplishment for a snack with not a lot of flavor which is where that neon yellow stuff no, its not really butter. Its mostly soybean salt and salt come in. The saltier the popcorn the more you will need a giant soda to quench your thirst. Thats just fine with theater owners. When im leaving a movie house and i feel that stickiness underneath my shoes should i blame popcorn or soda for that . Well, i think you should be proud that those products help make that theater possible and make those movies possible because i dont think there would be movie theaters. I dont think there would be films at least in theaters without popcorn. The popcorn cant be beat lets all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat lets all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat osgood coming up jeweler to the stars. But first a true son of hollywood. There he is. Theres the stallion. Beautiful. Thats my daughter riding him, lesley. Its sunday morning on cbs. And here again is charles osgood. Osgood that was rock hudson and elizabeth tailor in the 1956 movie giant. It won award for best director. His son George Stevens jr. Was a Production Assistant on that film which is when the movies became a family affair. This is the american moment, life achievement award. Reporter maybe youve seen an American Film Institute tribute to a hollywood great. Like my old parish priest once told me about my movies. He said too much good friday not enough easter sunday, marty. Reporter and then theres the cache of the Kennedy Center honors. Presented to those who have made a difference on stage screen and through other performing arts. What you may not know who came up with the idea for both awards shows. Its kind of dazzling just a wall of emmys. Television and film writer, director and producer George Stevens jr. Its an opportunity for audiences to see wonderful lives of achievement. I think it moves them. I think it inspires them. Reporter so there was a nice turnabout when stevens himself got a very big award in december. Presented by his friend actor sidney portier. An honorary oscar for lifetime achievement. Tonight i say heres to the great films of the future. Reporter and it turns outer stevens life is a real hollywood story. His grandmother alice howell, acted in charie chaplin films. His mother appeared in silent movies too. But most important his dad George Stevens sr. Was a legendary hollywood director who made more than 50 films between 1930 and 1970. This is from a place in the sun. Thats my father on the right. And Elizabeth Taylor next to him. Montgomery cliff behind elizabeth. Reporter a place in the sun earned George Stevens sr. A best director oscar. Wow i love you too. Reporter when Elizabeth Taylor turned 18 during the making of the film, young george was invited to her birthday party. What was she like . I think she was without question, the most beautiful woman in the world. And great fun and light hearted. Reporter and of course she went on to win a Kennedy Center honor. She did yes. Reporter stevens took a summer job with his dad reading scripts and stories for prospective films. One of them really moved him. He said why dont you tell me the story. I was pacing around his bedroom telling him the story of shane. Reporter the 1953 film, a western starring alan lad got five Academy Award nominations and has become a classic. Gosh all mighty, that is good. Reporter but then George Stevens, jr. Was working full time with his father on films like 1959s the diary of anne frank. I dont know. Theres nobody down there now. Doesnt matter. I dont ever want you to go beyond that door. Ever . Reporter but in 1962 he got a visit from edward r. Murrow. Youre in jefferson county. We are waiting for the polls to close. Reporter the former cbs news man had joined the Kennedy Administration as head of the United States information agency. Charged with telling the rest of the world about the usa. Murrow wanted stevens to run the film division. Your first instinct was to say no. It was. And i did. I had become after the diary of anne frank like my fathers partner. A few days later i was with dad at the studio. He looked at me and said you have to do this. Reporter so stevens came to washington and at age 29 started producing some 300 Short Documentary films a year for u. S. I. A. This was the first wall in all recorded history to keep an entire country from fleeing. When they hate it, were going to. In love. Were going to speak things of love toward them. Reporter he became friends with members of the Kennedy Family and got to know the president. Filled with possibility. It was thrilling to be part of it. Reporter when president kennedy was assassinated stevens poured his sorrow into producing a highly praised documentary film years of lightning, day of drums. In seeing that respected man who had everything pass from life in a single unsuspecting instant, there was the thought of each persons own mortality. Reporter stevens left government to help found the American Film Institute which promotes this nations film legacy. And helps train future film makers. With alumni earning more than 100 oscar nominations. This is the speech he made at amherst college. Reporter as for the kennedy central honors, stevens says the idea came from the president s own words. I look forward to an america that will honor achievement in the arts the way we honor achievement in business and state craft. On the first night harold lloyd. Reporter at age 80, steerchs who has been married to his life elizabeth for 47 years has managed to become a force in both hollywood and washington. He jokes he had to forge a career that was different from his famous father. Theres the issue of how do you establish yourself and your own identity . I didnt suffer about it. Reporter but now George Stevens jr. Has his own oscar to display along with two won by his father. What do you think your dad would make of this . I think hed be pleased. That his oscars have company. Osgood David Edelsteins oscar picks are coming up. Ngs. But there are some things ive never seen before. This ge jet engine can understand 5,000 data samples per second.

Reporter last year i predicted every oscar winner. Had i gabbed with Academy Members . No. Can i foretell the future . Sorry. Did i just love the big winner, the artist . Definitely not. I simply read certain columnists who had been spun by certain publicists who had been hired by certain studios that had squired certain nominees around hollywood to screenings and cocktail parties to influence the votes of a few thousand people. Most over 55, white well off and liberal. This year its even bussier. Harvey wine steen all mighty pubah of oscar buzz got dr. Oz to extoll Silver Linings play book for its insights into mental illness. Im having sex with everybody in the office. Everybody . I was very depressed after tommy died. So a lot of people. How many were there . 11. Wow. Osgood look, i like the movie. Its a good, dark about a couple of cute depressives. Maybe its even therapeutic to see people crazier than we are. Im not certain of its medical efficacy. The 42nd president of the United States. Reporter meanwhile Steven Spielberg brought in a master to spin for lincoln. Bill clinton. You hire awards consultants like politico consultants. You stay ahead of the message. Or you end up like catherine big low. Were spending billions of dollars. Reporter whose phenomenal zero dark thirtiy was an early favorite but may be a tad fast and loose with facts and saying torture led to the courier to who led to bin laden. True or false the controversy hasnt played well. Proof in one way torture doesnt work. Reportedly ive read this. From columnists spun by publicists working for zero dark thirtiy rivals. Trade in on a star ship landing. An exotic middle eastern vibe. Women gather offering ecstatic lie bases to the sky gods. Reporter they also say its argo for best picture because people feel bad that ben affleck wasnt nominated for best director. When is the last movie you produced . High and dry. Who paid for that . Ats your middle name . Whats your middle name . Whats your middle name . Shoot him. Hes an american spy. Reporter his loss, the movies gain. And it doesnt hurt that the film makes hollywood types look heroic. Clinton might help spielberg win best director. Im guessing dr. Oz saved Jennifer Lawrence for best actress though theres a dark horse in amours emmanuelle riva. Ann hathaway has been on the campaign trail for les miserables, and shell get it. Not in spite of looking like a chicken when she sings but because of it. Flamboyant antivanity it sells. Im betting Tommy Lee Jones for lincoln but some are predicting Robert Deniro for Silver Linings play book if people find jones too much of a sour pus which is kind of. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Reporter the lock, of course is daniel day lewis. Or as shakespeare would say doth describe the narrow world like a colossus. Now, none of this has much to do with what i laughing call artistic merit. And except for daylewis none are my choices. Although they might be if i heard from, say bill clinton or better yet Jennifer Lawrence. Call me, babe. I want to be on the inside where oscars really get decided. Osgood ahead. Reporter how did they do at the box office . Well, ill tell you. You know we didnt do so great. Osgood its the sort of thing that happens only in the movies. A struggling director gambles everything to bring his dream film to the screen. So how does that scenario play out in real life . Bill geist has the answer to that one. What do we do . E get ready. Reporter big budget studio blockbusters like the avengers spend hundreds of millions on Promotional Campaigns alone. Anybody here like to see a movie tonight .

I will personally buy it for you. Reporter director paul binell enticing passersby with free tickets. Talk to all of your comrades. Its on me. Reporter and free beer. Dont humor me now. I know youre going to come. Reporter sometimes you get what you pay for. The avengers was the Top Box Office hit of 2012 earning more than 623 million. The cito gastonly love of johnny x was number 657. Dead last. How did this do at the box office . laughing snsmght well, ill tell you. We didnt do so great. We didnt advertise it. We dont do any business and it made 117 at the box office. Reporter thats right. 117. No zeros. Johnny x opened in october in a mall theater in overland overland park, kansas, for a weeklong run. It did no business. They reported that we made 117 but we only got 35 to that. To add insult to injury. Reporter what does that come to . 37. That was net. Reporter one very weak week, and that was it. Perhaps kansas wasnt the best venue for opening such an unconventional film. I have no choice but to sentence you to earth. Reporter how would you describe it . What is the plot . Thats a tough one bill. Ill tell you. Its a juvenile delinquent intergalactic, dark horror scifi musical cacophony. Reporter oh, sure, Everybody Loves those. Johnny, o johnny reporter have we mentioned the song and dance numbers . Paul had a decent budget. Somewhere around a couple of million dollars. And a good cast. I give you a cousin welcome. Reporter an oscar winner. Paul williams. You stand before me today accused of low crimes. Reporter the late Kevin Mccarthy once an oscar nominee for death of a salesman and moreover star of invasion of the body snatchers. Green bugeyed monster reporter and this man of televisions the office who was critical of critics of johnny x. I think poohpooh on that stuff. I think poohpooh. Ill say it again. Its supposed to be weird. Hey im sorry about this. Its supposed to be sloppy. Its done that way on purpose. I have been watching you. Hes got it exactly like he wants it. That just shows how weird he is. Reporter a film of this stature and complexity was almost ten years in the making. In 2004 i cast it, got the actors in. We filmed some scenes. And then we ran out of money. My wife and i had to borrow against our house. We were on a hiatus for six years. We took a little time off. Reporter the off beat film has actually done rather well at some film festivals. Yeah, we played here at the chinese theater and actually sold out. Can you believe that . Reporter i dont understand. You have low Box Office Sales but youre selling out big theaters. How is that . You know, bill, they dont count box office for film festivals. Reporter thats not fair. Its not fair. Do you like movies . See, my movie is playingq 9 30 tonight. Juvenile delinquents from outer space. Reporter at 49, paul bunnell holds on to his dreams. Are you thinking you can get your friends to show up. Reporter even though some are nightmares. I would love to get this movie out there in a bigger way that people knew about it. Are you thinking about it . Yes okay. Reporter and paul had a pretty good night in San Francisco recently where 43 people turned out to see the cito gastonly love of johnny x. 13 of them paid.

Reporter spokeswoman Meredith Keller and her team help celebrities pick out that perfect item, like this bracelet with 400 diamonds. This is our red carpet bracelet. Very fitting for someone to wear on an oscar night. Reporter have you had this one worn before . It has been worn on the red carpet at the golden globes. It was recently worn. A similar style has been worn by halle berry at the golden globes. Reporter a piece like this will cost about how much . This is a little over half a million dollars. Reporter oh, my goodness. Bigticket items like the bracelet and this 9. 5 million diamond necklace come with their own security detail. Do you think that a star on the red carpet wearing a specific piece of jewelry can drive sales for them . Listen, the red carpet is the biggest carpet in the world. Reporter its a gold mine. It is a gold mine. What goes on that day sets the precedent for many sales around the world. Reporter after the show, the jewels go back to Harry Winston. But in 1994, sharon stone claimed the diamond necklace she wore while promoting a film was actually a gift from the jeweler. The dispute was settled out of court. Harry winston got the necklace back.

He had a keen eye that helped him acquire some of the worlds most famous diamonds like the i dont thinker and the star of the east. By the time he died in 1978 he was known as the king of diamonds. And for bringing glamor to the red carpet. It was Harry Winston in 1944 who became the very first to loan out pieces for an actress to wear. Reporter and that was for . That was for Jennifer Jones who went on that night to win the best actress oscar. So a tradition and the nickname for winton of jeweler to the stars was really born that night. Reporter in the 1970 oscars Elizabeth Taylor wore one of winstons most famous creations a 69karat diamond necklace, a gift from husband richard burton. Then in 1998 Gloria Stewart dawned the deep blue diamond penned ant inspired by the film titanic. It was all based upon another jewel that Harry Winston once owned the hope diamond. He donated it to the Smithsonian Institution in 1958, sending it in the mail. As for who will be seen glittering in Harry Winston thats a secret. But what we do know is that rocks like these can make anyone feel like a star. So you offered, and i accept gladly. Id love to put the earrings on. Oh wow. Oh, my goodness. I can see why someone just puts these on, they would say thats it. Im done. I dont need anything else. Im not even going to wear a dress.

Miss linda, are you ready . Reporter lost amid the chaos of a busy day of shooting. And action. Reporter but once the camera finds linda hunt, she nearly always steals the scene. I need to be with michelle. Promise you that we will do everything we can to protect her. Reporter she plays heady lang the diminutive cloak and dagger boss in charge of the undercover federal agents of n. C. I. S. Los angeles. Theres no fuzziness. You still shoot the ducks. I just row the boat. Reporter at 67 and just 49 tall hunt spends her day surrounded by actors half her age and almost twice her hate. Dont mock me. I criticize. I scold. I chastise. Ive even. But i never mock. Reporter what is it like being on set with a group of young. I know. Reporter . Very good looking slash rock star. Theyre all so young. Reporter do you like that . I do like it.

So this is my hangout. Reporter thats your office. Yeah, this is my office. Headys office.

Reporter hunt played billy kwan a photojournalist hired by a rookie Foreign Correspondent in indonesia. Played by a very young mel gibson. It was only hunts second film. But it was a first in movie history. Never before had an actor won an oscar for playing the opposite sex. She was so convincing as a man audiences didnt believe the credits. I cant be a man but i can embrace the head of a man the intelligence of a man the spirit of a man. Reporter did you ever feel youll get lost in him that character . Yeah, yeah. And it was like that for a while. Id come back to my beautiful room. And a guy would bring me dinner and refer to me as sir. Reporter sir it was upsetting. It was weird not to be able to turn it off not to be able to come home at night and just be linda. Reporter her transformation not only won the oscar but it was a relief to hunts parents who always worried about her life on the stage especially her father. I think up until i won that night, he always worried. It was proof from people etch didnt know from a world he didnt know that, you know, his baby girl was going to be all right. Reporter his baby girl was born lid i cant hunter in 1945. She grew up in Westport Connecticut and was always smaller than most. Everybody either wanted to take care of me or push me around. You know . Reporter were you teased a lot . Yes, i was teased a lot. Sure i was. I knew that i was different by the time i was like ten. Everybody was taking their skirts except me. I was not growing up. Reporter she was diagnosed with a form of dwarfism. Nothing could make her taller. But when her parents took her to her first broadway show, hunt realized the stage just might be a place where she could at least feel taller. It was a production of peter pan absolutely. Reporter what was it about peter pan that really struck you . That it was bigger than life and that in some sense i longed to be bigger than life. Because i wasnt. Reporter she compensated with her voice trying to sound more authoritative than she looked. When i was 16, nobody else talked like me. Nobody else sounded like me reporter there was a confidence in that oh, absolutely. Reporter that made you big that made me big. Reporter that voice first found a home on stage and then the silver screen. What do you think were fighting about . Reporter strong, independent characters suited hunt the best. From gertrude signs lover in waiting for the moon. Suppose i keep guessing and you tell me. Suppose you try figuring it out instead of picking apart everything i say. Reporter do you work here . I run the place. Reporter to a spark plug of a bartender in the western silverado are you the Midnight Star herself . I am. Im always there but i only shine at night. Can i help you . Reporter but it was a comedy that introduced hunt to a whole new generation of fans. What did it feel like to hit that son of a bitch . Reporter when she played opposite her physical opposite, Arnold Schwarzenegger it felt great. Reporter in kindergarten cop. What was it like being opposite around schwarzenegger . For me if you kidding . Maybe if im lucky i come up to his navel. Reporter seeing her on stage or in person you soon forget her stature. Just ask kerry klein who says hunts size is hardly the first thing she noticed. I was kind of struck what were you struck by, honey . At lindas cord roys reporter her cord roys. It was something about the cord roys reporter the cord roys were the beginning of a 26year relationship. They were married in 2008. Karens six years younger but i forgive her daily. I wake up each morning. I do. And i forgive you for being younger. Reporter they are as open about their relationship as hunt is about her future. N. C. I. S. Los angeles can still be going strong but she says she doesnt want her role to last forever. You know, i will retire one of these days. When i do, i dont want to be thinking about you alone i look forward to a time when i dont have to work anymore. Reporter you do . I do which is really do which is close at hand. Reporter her current contract will take her into her 70s. Not bad for a woman whose own parents feared might be too small to stand out on stage. But linda hunt still has audiences looking up. What do you think your parents would think now . They would be so happy that im earning a check every week. A paycheck every week. They would be thrilled. Osgood next, is variety old news . [ male announcer ] when youre going the distance its nice to have the experience and commitment to go along with you. Aarp Medicare Supplement insurance plans, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. Keep dreaming. Keep doing. Go long. Oscar night has traditionally been big news for variety. The show business paper that got its start covering the variety shows of the vaudeville era. But variety now faces some stiff competition from a variety of internet sites. Heres ben tracy. Reporter for more than a century, variety has played a starring role in the Entertainment Industry. Its been a mustread for every mover, shaker, even muppet in hollywood. You cant take no for an answer the people that were writing about are the people who are the readers. Theyre also the advertisers. The weekly pages are there. Reporter tim gray is varietys editor in chief. Variety has been called the bible of show biz by some folks. What kind of role has it played in the history of hollywood . Its a small town newspaper. Hollywood is a small town within the big town of los angeles. Variety printed the first movie review in 1907 which was very early with a little note saying, hey, this is an interesting new art form so we thought we would review some of this stuff. Reporter the publication began by covering vaudeville in new york city in 1905. There was also that new theater scene called broadway. As the Entertainment Industry moved west, so did variety launching a daily in 1933 based in los angeles covering hollywood. For aspiring stars a mention in its pages was a sign you had arrived. Of you know, the worst thing is to run a photo that is unflattering. In their mind thats the worst thing you can do. The second worst thing is to spell their name wrong or get their title wrong reporter in its 107 years variety has covered it all. The titanic when it sank in 1912. And then 86 years later when it rose to become the first billion dollar blockbuster. In 1929 sound supplanted silent films. In 1940 records had radio on the run. In 1950, video killed the vaudeville star. By 1984, home video recording had hollywood reeling. One of the things that i find fascinating is over time variety has kind of invented its own language. What is that all about . Well, ill tell you. The Oxford English dictionary attributes about two dozen terms to variety. Like sitcom, strip tease, punch line. You know, all these things that were variety we call it language. It was kind of sassy. It was kind of like insiders language reporter variety used its unique Language Skills in maybe its most famous headline in 1935. Sticks nicks hick picks. Translation, farmers dont like movies about farming. The paper is still printed and delivered every day yet like an aging leading lady, its being replaced by young starlets on the internet. Blogs such as deadline dotcom and the rap send a steady stream of Industry News to mobile devices. Former New York Times reporter Sharon Waxman is editor in chief of the rap. Can a print publication compete with an online publication like yours covering hollywood today . No. If you are doing your news and youre gearing it around a 3 00 p. M. Or a 4 00 p. M. Or 5 00 p. M. Print deadline, youre toast. By the time that news comes out everybody has already read it. I think variety is a print dinosaur. Theres no doubt about that. If you ask people in the industry they would tell you that. The choices on page 1 are good reporter in recent years varietys circulation has fallen dramatically. Its website which for years charged for content is dead last among its competitors. Five years ago the publication was worth an estimated 100 million. If sold last year,. It sold last year for just 25 million. A lot of people are writing your obituary. I assume you think thats premature . I know its premature. There were a lot of stories about print is dead. Print is dead. I always kept thinking its like when television came in. People kept saying movie going is dead. Nobody will go to movies. The truth of it is people are still going to movies but they go in different numbers and for Different Reasons reporter variety is relaunching its website determined to challenge its rivals while its fighting to be a player in hollywoods future. Nobody will ever compete with variety hollywood history. Osgood ahead, a quick look at an animated short. To fight chronic osteoarthritis pain. To fight chronic low back pain. To take action. To take the next step. Today, you will know you did something for your pain. Cymbalta can help. Cymbalta is a pain reliever fdaapproved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Osgood there are five nominees for best animated short tonight. We intend to show you just one. The shortest oscar nominee ever. Its called fresh guacamole by an animator who calls himself test. Osgood heres a look at the week ahead on our sunday morning calendar. Monday marks the 100th anniversary of the certification of the income tax amendment to the constitution. Tuesday sees a Bankruptcy Court hearing in california for the failed Solar Energy Company slind ra.

On friday, 85 billion dollars in automatic federal budget cuts start taking effect barring any lastminute congressional action. And saturday marks the beginning of an International Science conference that may officially confirm last years discovery of the higgsbosin an elusive particle that gives something its mass. Before any of that, however, comes tonights oscars. Contributor nancy giles can hardly wait reporter we all know the oscars are a big deal. But isnt that walk down the red carpet the best part of that way too long evening . Its all there. Drama. Comedy. Scifi. Sometimes unintentional special effects. They call it a walk but its more like a traffic jam of paparazzi and interviewers crammed on the side lines all struggling to find out who is wearing what designer and to see if anyones really telling the truth when they say its an honor just to be nominated. Theres a kind of choreography to this red carpet dance. Note the step and pose and this transition, hand on hip chin down and ooo that strategic three quarter profile. On this night whether youre a contender or not your job is to stand there. For some it seems effortless but it can mess with your head. The lights flash. Look this way. Down here to the left please. Over here. Hey, give it up for the women of the red carpet. They carry the burden of attention like warriors. And the Academy Awards red carpet is, well, the Academy Awards of red carpets. A Cottage Industry of coverage on tv, countless magazine and newspaper stories blog posts tweets, you name it. The right outfit on the right actress means Global Recognition for the designer. If i ever get the chance id love to say its my moms design or its from the sale rack at kohls. Yeah designed for the masses. How did this red carpet thing start exactly . Its kind of hazy. In greek mythology the King Agamemnon was he will comed home from the trojan war on a reddish carpet so that like the gods his feet wouldnt touch the bare ground. Special people, it seemed, needed special carpets. Maybe movie stars and celebrities are our 21st century gods. And the pageantry of the red carpet lets us mortals watch and worship and even nitpick. And on oscar night watching those luminaries walk that walk, we can sit on our couches think snackery thoughts, and bring those gods crashing down to earth. Osgood commentary from nancy giles.
