Who will go headtohead in the first big awards nominations of the season . And could it be the leading ladies of thursday night in a golden globe showdown. Which one is golden this morning . Consider it handled. And we do say good morning, america on this thursday morning. A tale of two coasts right now. Powerful storms on both sides of the country. The east digging out from the noreaster. Some places were more than 2 feet of snow. In the west, that already being felt. Houses on the ocean destroyed. And the powerful Pineapple Express is bringing torrential rain. Emergency is in effect, schools closed. Ginger is going to start it off. Sounds benign, the Pineapple Express sounds nice. Its an Atmospheric River from the waters around hawaii. Its like adding gas to a fire. Thats the storm hitting now in parts of northern california, oregon and washington state. This will trail in and bring wind warnings, flood watches, and blizzard warnings in the northern sierra. The entire state of california, all of informed anevada and ore. This is a huge deal. We have 5 to 7 inches of rain possible just north of the bay area. You put that on some of the burn cars and it is a disaster. Add a 50 mile per hour wind, see Power Outages, and trees down. Thats why rob marciano is dealing with it all, bracing for it like so many others. Rob. Reporter ginger, as you know, california needs the rain. But this storms going to bring too much in too short a time. The mudslides and the flooding. And the trees are weak from the last storm. There are going to be Power Outages in what is likely to be an historic storm for this date. The west coast bracing for a torrent of water and wind. Expected to be the worst weather to hit california in five years. Its first target, the pacific northwest. Take a look at these homes, dangling above the water. Large chunks of land cracking and falling into the rough waters below. The beach, known as washaway has been eroding for decades. Two homes lost, and another fleeing, saying his home may be next. I new it was going to happen sooner or later. Reporter heavy rain across washington, flooding streets like this one. Drivers trying to get through. In northern california, winds are pick up speed and could reach 70 miles per hour. In san francisco, the great highway along the pacific ocean, shut down. Dozens of schools closed and the Weather Service warning anyone on the road to package emergency survival kit. Nearly a foot of rain expected. Fears over new mudslides, emptying debris basins, hoping it will be enough to protect against another zoodisaster lik this. And down through this looks like were having tr troubles. But go ahead and start. From west to east, its an ugly 48 hours with the noreaster. You saw, 2 feet of snow in parts of western new york. Whats happening now. And thats what so many folks are waking up to. And theres a bit of snow left, especially in the lake effect snow. Right around buffalo, as if we needed more. Thanks. Turn now to the blowback from the explosive Senate Report on the torture after 9 11. Vice president dick cheney blasting it. And an Unprecedented Press Conference this afternoon. This is vintage cheney. Reporter indeed, this was classic cheney. When he was Vice President , he signed off on the Interrogation Program and believes it was justified and saved lives by preventing attacks. In an interview last night on fox news, he said that the cia personnel that carried it out should be thanked, not blamed. We did exactly what needed to be done in order to catch those who were guilty on nec9 11 and prevent a further attack. And we were successful. This report says it was not successful. The report is full of crap, excuse me. The work that was done, i think, absolutely essential and absolutely crucial. I think we were perfectly justified in doing it and i would do it again in a minute. The cia did one hell of a job and they deserve our gratitude. Reporter not surprising to hear him talk about the Interrogation Program like that. Although hes much more blunt, his views are not different from president obamas own cia director who said this program helped prevent attacks on the united states. And john brennan, he is going to be giving what i said was an Unprecedented Press Conference at the cia this afternoon to confront all these charges. Reporter this is something we almost never see. A cia director inviting the press out to langley to have a press conference. An interesting one this afternoon. Thanks very much. And now the latest on that major hack attack against sony. First the movies were leaked, and now private emails are going public. Revealing some of hollywoods big secrets and unflattering messages about stars like Angelina Jolie and adam sandler. Abc cecilia vega is in los angeles with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Sony, a billiondollar company, produces some of the biggest hits in hollywood and depends on the relationships with the biggest stars. But those relationships may be in jeopardy this morning. The sony hacking scandal. And it is not pretty. Reporter this morning hollywood abuzz as tinseltowns dirty laundry is laid out in plain view. What a mess. Reporter the hacking scandal now even messier after emails about the alist of the alist were leaked. Reportedly showing that top producer criticizing Angelina Jolies talent and ego. And other emails make racial remarks about president obama. Bashing adam sand hers movies, and a Talent Manager gushing at leonardo dicaprio, trying to woo him to play steve jobs. Its a Public Relations disaster the likes of which hollywood has never seen. Reporter the stars not commenting and sony not addressing most of the claims. But it did say in a statement to abc news it has had an enormously Successful Partnership with adam sandler and we intend to be in business with him forever. Sony losing millions from pie rated movies. The guardians of peace accessing a list of phone numbers, employees Social Security numbers, and aliases stars use to protect their privacy. This is extremely damaging. Reporter right now the fbi investigating whether north korea could be behind the attack. Realuation for the new movie the interview. You want us to kill the leader of north south korea korea . Reporter premiering tonight, there will be no interviews.

And the nfl, commissioner Roger Goodell has issued a new code of conduct, including harsh harsher consequences. Its the nfl dogged all year about their criticism of handling of domesticing violence cases. Coming two months earlier than the super bowl. In the wake of the ray rice scandal, and hoping it stops violent acts off the field. Being part of the nfl is a privilege. It is not a right. Reporter this morning nfl team owners approving new get tough penalties for players accused of Violent Crimes. The policy is comprehensive. It is strong. It is tough. And it is better for everyone associated with the nfl. Reporter under the new rules, players charged with a Violent Crime will be immediately put on paid leave. The nfl will launches it own investigation of each case, not wait for authorities, and the commissioner himself will be taken out of initial disciplinary proceedings, but will retain final say on appeals. The policy coming in the wake of multiple Domestic Violence controversies, including an arbitrators ruling that the league bungled the punishment of nfl star ray rice. But not everyone is a fan of the new policy. Seattle seahawks star Richard Sherman saying i think the way the nfl is making things up as they go along is poor management and the players wont stand for it. Even as they try to chart a new course, the rice case is haunting them. Espn now obtaining transcripts from rices punishment hearing that show the lead investigator never contacted police about the nowinfamous elevator video, seemingly contradicting the commissioners public statements. The nfl not commenting, instead looking forward. Were going to have people make mistakes. And we to want make sure we do everything to prevent that from happening. Reporter the policy takes effect immediately. But some people wonder if it goes far enough. Some say the commissioner still has a say over the final appeal process, hes still involved in the discipline process. The pressure not going to stop yet. Thanks very much. And to amy with the other top stories. Good morning, everyone. We begin with staggering new figures out this morning about ocean pollution. The largestever study now estimates there are 5 trillion pieces of plastic floating in the worlds ocean. That is nearly 700 pieces of plastic for every person on earth. Enough to weigh 270,000 tons.

There you see mama giving them a big panda hug. So sweet. And apparently the mama bear can only handle one cub at the same time. I understand. Totally get that.
