Speaking of rhetoric, Governor Haley spoke indirectly about donald trump in her response to the state of the union, and in responding to the backlash from some republicans, she says that getting loud with rhetoric is not always the best thing. She says sometimes, we need to lower the volume to hear what voters are saying. Theres basically two doors that people walk through in this country, and not everybody in both of those doors is going to agree with each other on everything.

Gabrielle bob hanson shares to ideas you can start doing right now. Bob no matter who you are, january is a great time to review your finances. This time of year is the time to basically set yourself up, and fix things that you maybe messed up the previous year. Bob and where do you start . Financial planner Mary Beth Storjohann says, start the year by checking your credit score. Basically your Financial Report card, but theres no getting rid of it after college. So knowing this number, and how it impacts you, is a great way to kick off the year. Bob you can get a free report every year from each of the credit reporting agencies, by going to annualcreditreport. Com. To get your score, youll have to pay about 12, but the information is critical to understanding how you measure up on your finances. Doing a debt inventory, understanding the balances that you owe, the Interest Rates on them, and the minimum payments due. Bob building up your savings account is critical for the new year, but maybe you need more than just one account. So i always say, if you have separate goals, have separate savings accounts. Bob mary beth has 9 different savings accounts, most with online banks. She contributes separate amounts to each account every month, each one divided by needs, from insurance to travel, from emergencies to down payments. The problem is, when everything is in one account, its way easier to dip in for if you want a new laptop, oh, thats coming from the savings account. If you need new tires on the car, thats coming from the savings account. Realistically, those are things that should have separate savings accounts.

See if your favorites got a nod and some controversy over who michael the word revenant is defined as a person who returns. The director of the film of the same name fits that description. Gabrielle Alejandro Inarritu returns to the best director conversation, after winning the award last year for birdman. Heres raphael seth, with a lok a look at todays other oscar nominees. We did what we had to do. Raphael the revenant returns director Alejandro Gonzalez inarritu to the top of the oscar totem. His film received 12 nominations at this mornings oscar announcements, including best picture and best director. But one notable director didnt make the list. If there was one big shock for me today, it was the fact that ridley scott did not get nominated for best director for the martian. Raphael that film did pick up recognition for best picture, and best actor for matt damon. Other leading men include Michael Fassbender for his portrayal of steve jobs, Bryan Cranston for trumbo, redmayne, and this years favorite, leonardo dicaprio. I think leonardo might be too much in the lead, particularly because his movie, the revenant, got the most nominations today. Raphael no surprises in the best actress category. Cate blanchett is nominated for carol, Jennifer Lawrence for joy. 50year veteran Charlotte Rampling gets a nod for the film 45 years. Alicia vikander gets in for the danish girl. And then theres the frontrunner. Brie larson has the best chance to win for room. Raphael there is a crop of deserving perfomers in this years best supporting actor category, Sylvester Stallone. But there were audible cheers when Sylvester Stallone was announced as one of them. I was happy to see Sylvester Stallone on that list, because he gives a great performance. Raphael there are always snubs, and this year, the talk is about racial bias. For the second straight time, there are no people of color in any of the acting categories, and many found it puzzling that the academy filled only 8 of 10 slots for best picture. Some worthy movies were left out, most notably straight outta compton. Straight outta compton. Its a little disappointing. Raphael Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs says diversity is a big issue, but the performers who were nominated are deserving of that recognition. Raphael seth, nbc news.
