Geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. Its monday morning, leap day, february 29th, 2016. Boy, were excited about leap day here in new york city. Nice crowd outside. Willie along with tamron, who is back after a long time away. Glad to have you back in the chair. Feel like i only saw you on tv for two weeks. Busy chasing the republican and Democratic Candidates all over the country. The minute you get here, al and natalie go to los angeles. And they get a glamour gig. Go hollywood on us. I like that. Literally. Because its leap day, does that mean we actually get a whole day back of sleep . No. Thatd be nice. Not like a time zone. I was hoping for 29 hours of sleep or something. It is the weird extra day we get every four years. People celebrating their first real birthday. Something to do with the 28th, i think, on the off years. Some do march 1st. Lets be honest, youre living in a black hole, a parallel universe, a day that doesnt really exist. Its so cool. We had one a sister and brother four year ace s apart, both leap year babies. What are the odds . Its all scifi. Getting weird. Pizza hut, free onetopping personal pan pizza. Hard rocca faye k ca k cafe offering a free entree, even if its not your birthday. Really . I think so. You cant tell me there is a free list of getting food and think i can carry on with the rest of the show . Anyone know where i can get a fake id . Lets talk about the oscars. Big winners. As expected, Leonardo Dicaprio and brie larson for best actor and best actress. Spotlight, but i thought the revenant was going to win. Chris rocks opening monologue, of course, addressing the controversy and everything thats been stirring around the oscars in terms of no nominees being people of color. Lets see how he started the show. Im here at the academy awards. Otherwise known as the white peoples choice awards. You realize if they nominated hosts, i wouldnt even get this job. Yall be watching ing ing Neil Patrick Harris right now. Is hollywood racist . Youre damn right, hollywood is racist. Youve grown accustom to it. We like you, rhonda, but youre not a kappa. We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities [ applause ] we didnt put the rihanna joke in there, which was my favorite of the night. It was a good one. Not good for morning tv. Whatd you think of how chris rock did, tamron . I was flying back in from a shoot so i missed it. Nothing is worse than a big event happening on tv and you were able to follow on twitter but you cant see it. The reaction was incredible. Obviously, instantaneously. Whatd you guys think . It was interesting because in the room, it seemed like it was going over fairly well. Then we were talking to people on the red carpet and they were kind of mixed. I think as the evening went on people warmed up to it. I think it was like ricky gervais. A little like, we needed that, maybe it was a little bit hard. He made a joke about lynching. Some people were like it was tough. But at the same time, after the fact, everybody was like, you know, it was like a cleansing in a way. That needed to be said. He did. He came out and did what he needed to do. He looked so relieved on the white carpet, at the after party. The vanity fair party, we didnt think hed stop. He was like, al roker. I need to go to al. Its what he said. What pressure were you feeling in the moment . The pressure to be funny. You know what i mean . Yeah. Regardless of the whatever, still got to be funny. You got a chance to breathe now. Feel relief . Yeah. Hanging out with my mother, you know. Hello, mrs. Rock. Nice to meet you. Good to see you. Worldfamous. Will you blow off some steam . Have a good one. Al getting in with the ladies. Jennifer lawrence ran right to al. Loved al, yeah. She loved al. Shes been very nice to us. The one thing i think everybody was stunned at was Sylvester Stallone not winning supporting actor. Though bridge of spies and mark rylance deserved an award. Not taking away anything from him. A career of amazing performances. The sentiment was there for stallone. There were surprises. Willie, as you said, i was so happy that spotlight won because, you know, it dealt with such an important issue. The sex abuse in the catholic church. Such a great moment in journalism. We were all happy to see that. But i think a lot of people were surprised. You all had picked revenant. Willie and i picked spotlight. Its my way of saying we picked right, willie. There you go. The big acting awards but there was a 45 minute stretch where mad maxs name was called a lot. If you havent seen the movie, its a piece of art. One other shoutout, adam mckay who won for the big short. Teams up with will ferrell. Steps into the more serious stuff and wins an oscar last night. Great story for adam. Very cool. We also talked about the fashions a little bit. We gave our list of the things we liked. Outfits we liked. Yeah. Heres my list. What do you got . Margot robbie. Wonderful thing. Christy ti ty ti ty chrissy teigen. The baby inside was like, yes, mama. Bring it, mama. Me about this when i landed. Armani armani, doesnt just better than that. Naomi watts is the only person on the planet that could full off this dress. Tailored to perfection. You drip into it. So beautiful. Those were my favorites. Willie, i knew youd pick i saw this dress when i landed and i said, this is Willie Geists dress. Alicia vikander, congratulations to her, won for best supporting actress. She was wearing louie vuitton, according to tamron. I know she looked good in it. She stopped and talked to you and me at the Golden Globes for ten minutes. Not only beautiful but smart and charming. Still wide eyed about being in hollywood and excited to be at the award shows. Kind of went official with the relationship with michael fassbender. The kiss on camera. We knew they were together, but they showed the world their love. Natalie, who was on your list . I was going to say alicia, from beauty and the beast in the gorgeous yellow dress. She looked better than belle. When she had that oscar in her hand, too. Ronan. Love the color. And brie larson who won the oscar last night and won so many hearts in this award season, she is adorable. That blue was stunning on her. She really stood out in this beautiful sort of ruffles. Al had another one that i loved. You know, there were two olivias. They both were hot. Very hot. Olivia munn was in stella mccartny. Munn. It was gorgeous. One of the brightest colors on i love the off the shoulder. Then olivia wilde had the risque yeah, and Jason Sudeikis said he helped fold it. It was origami. There was careful folds around these areas. Yes, there were. You can tell we havent slept. We like it this way. More fun this way. So al, you mentioned sylvester. I was heartbroken. I was shocked. Nevertheless nevertheless, you got a selfie with him . Thats right. He was being interviewed. We interview him a moment earlier, and i thought, i didnt take a selfie. I did that. Then we interviewed elton john and his husband. That was fun. Thats actually sir elton doesnt own a cell phone he recollects told us, so he doesnt do selfies. Were like, well, we have to get at the after party at vanity fair, Ryan Seacrest was hanging out and we took a picture with him, as well. On the other side of the partition, guys, it was chris rock and leo chatting, which was cool. Did you hear anything . What were they talking about . I think they were highfiving each other. They were at a distance from them. We were doing what everybody else does. Take out their camera and pretending to take a picture of themselves but really taking a picture of leo and chris rock. I love that elton john doesnt have a phone. Gangster move. I dont need a phone. You know where to find me. He gets people around him with a phone so why does he need one . He actually has a telegraph. Carrier pigeons, actually. I like that. Lets take a look and show you what we have as far as our weather is concerned. My golly, weather may affect Severe Weather today from Wichita Falls to wichita. Tulsa, Oklahoma City in the risk of Severe Weather. Strong wind gusts through tonight. Hail. Tomorrow, the area expands out. Look at the states that are under slight risk of Severe Weather. 22 Million People at risk. Tornadoes. But the super tuesday states of arkansas, tennessee, alabama, georgia and virginia, all part of this. It may be an effect on voting for tomorrows primary. Y. Eric good morning. What a beautiful day. Plenty of cloud cover, mostly cloudy, 78 degrees our high. Thats your latest weather. Willie . Al, thanks. Coming up, more of chris rock and the controversy at the oscars.

Everybody get golden hollywoods biggest night as everybody talking. After chris rock took on the issues of the oscars lack of racial diversity. Here with the biggest moments everybody is talking about. If you were to describe one word overall, what were the oscars for you . A little odd. The opening monologue was very entertaining. Chris rock did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable. But beyond that, after that, once we got to the stretch of the actual show, it felt repetitive, long, as the oscars always feel, but also odd. There werent very many stars accepting awards. It was interesting. Given that the oscars were longer than crazy. Some of the sketches that chris did, tackling the lack of diversity. Heres onewhoopi goldberg and Jennifer Lawrence together. Maybe theyll make a movie about a skinny white lady, but the black girl has to cure cancer before they get a tv movie. Oh, my god. Im not mad. I know how to play the game. Im the danish girl. These danishes is good, girl. Nailed it. I love that. I thought it was so great. So funny. I think it was smart because it was the idea of inserting himself into the movies. Chris rock, who was probably one of the oscar hosts weve had in the last ten years, up there with ellen degeneres, was smart to have whoopi join him, oi ah along with tracy morgan. Lets talk about the girl scouts, who scored big last night. They did. Take a look. I want you to buy my daughters girl scout cookies. Look at my babies up there. Are you going to deny them some cookies . All right, tina fey get that money, girl. Make that money. Charlize theron, yes you get him. Leo, you made 30 million. Come on of course, theyre probably all starving so like yes, give me five boxes. Were not allowed to eat inside. You are actually starving. I thought it was a fun bit. We kind of saw it two years ago when ellen did it a little better with the pizza. The stacey dash thing, what was up with that . The oddest thing of the night. People werent laughing. I think it was too much of an inside joke. They were making fun of the fact that stacey dash had gone on fox news to say are we watching this . We were just listening to a little bit of it. Weve gone on to they were making fun of the fact that stacey dash went on fox news saying we dont need black history month. Most viewers didnt know that so it wasnt funny. Most people in the audience didnt know it. A lot of people didnt know who she was. Actress and commentator but why did she do it . Good question. Leonardo dicaprio, you know, finally. Acceptance speech, too. Well have a look at that. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much. [ applause ] so many nominations and finally getting his due. Fifth nomination in acting. I think people were very excited about this. It was also a big moment because the other acting nominees or winners, mark rylance, brie larson and Alicia Vikander are smaller actors and have been in smaller performances. This was a big movie star, finally taking the oscar stage. I think people wanted leo to win. It was the most tweeted moment of the night in the history of the oscars. More than 400,000 tweets a minute for Leonardo Dicaprio. Sylvester stallone, were you shocked at that . I think the academy dropped the ball with their snubs. Stallone, 40 years after being nominated for playing rocky in the original rocky. This would be a huge comeback for him. Would have been a beautiful speech. What were they thinking . When else does he have a chance to get an award now . Hopefully there will be another role for him but this was his moment. I think a lot of viewers were looking forward to honoring Sylvester Stallone and excited about that. It was right in the middle of the ceremony. I was angry about it. Lady gaga, you saw the song. That performance was unbelievable. Biden introducing the song. The sex assault survivals s vivors coming on stage and paying tribute to lady gaga. How does that lose to the james bond anthem, which wasnt a really good song, to be honest with you . Yeah, its unbelievable moment there. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me.

When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. You may bruise more easily p and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. P xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. R get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto. Pask your doctor about xarelto. Coming up, natalie and i painted the town red at some of hollywoods after parties. To the action. Willie, whats coming up from new york . We have hollywood glamour in new york city.

My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . In the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Pnot only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, t but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding v than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Pdont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Peliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Pdont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Pif you had a spinal injection while on eliquis pcall your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Pwhile taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. Pand it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Pseek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Peliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Ptell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. V eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. V plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to right for you. There are a lot of ways to pack your breakfast with protein. But the most delicious way is to just add milk.

Hes a lawman. But you should feel free to interpret this on your own. Thats what ive done. I mean, hes a great character because the world that he lives in is lawless, completely amoral, really. But were watching him descend into an unprincipled state, where he realizes he has to do whatever it takes to get things done and to get the bad guys. Its a great show. Weve talked about the fandom.
