All the main races are really tight. Best drama nominee carol has the most nominations, but fandangos dave karger says its no shooin. I think spotlight could win by a hair. But the revenant could win. And win. The danish girls Eddie Redmayne looks for his second straight globe as best actor in a drama, but faces concussions will smith, steve jobs michael fassbender, trumbos bryan cranston,and the revenants leonardo dicaprio. The edge has to go to leonardo dicaprio. He went through so much, physically and emotionally, to put his performance on screen. Karger sees best actress nominees Cate Blanchett and rooney mara of carol, as well as the danish girls alicia vikander, chasing two other contenders. Karger expects the martian and the big short to battle for best musical or comedy, with matt damons role as a marooned astronaut beating out the big shorts Christian Bale and steve carell for best actor. He 118 years ago he won 18 years ago for writing good will acting globe. I think that could happen this weekend.

Go to the wyff 4 app, or wyff4. Com. Standing room only at the Convention Center in columbia. If you protesters were sprinkled throughout the crowd of hundreds seven gop president ial candidates were supposed to participate, but Carly Fiorina wasnt able to make her flight. Speaker paul ryan and senator tim scott led the discussion on how to fight poverty. Bush, carson and christie were the first to share their ideas. It is great to give people a chance to get a job but if they , dont have the skills to get a job then thats the first step and all of our workforce programs i think need to be revamped and certainly our Education System as well. Governor christie says revamping the criminal system will help the community. There will always going to be jail cells if im president for folks who are dealing drugs and committing violent acts. Always going to be jail cells for them but we need to get some people who are just addicts and diseased out of those jail cells, give them treatment because you cant get to work if you cant get out of bed in the morning. High on heroine or cocaine, no one is going to hire you. Dr. Carson says the country needs an economic stimulus to help bring more jobs. I believe that the real answer to poverty is not government, but the private sector. What i would suggest is a 6 month hiatus to allow that money to repatriated with no taxes whatsoever, and in the process, just requiring that 10 of it be used in enterprise zones and to create jobs for people who are unemployed and on welfare. Former governor Mike Huckabee took the stage alone in fiorinas absence. Do you think focusing on inequality is the best way to fight poverty . No, focusing on inequality is focusing on the problem. Focusing on the solution is howow to make it work and the solution is to create an environment of which jobs are brought back to the united states. Governor kasich and senator rubio shared their ideas during the working poor the drug , addicted, and the mentally ill are issues. These are people who live in the shadows and i absolutely think, as jack kemp did, that when we rise everybodys got to have a shot. You know what, that opens every everybodys hearts. Some people in the crowd were only there to see rubio,but not for a good reason. The senator was interrupted several times by protestors who accused him of turning his back on the hispanic community. We are going to enforce our immigration laws, guys. Rubio eventually got his point across on how to handle poverty. I strongly believe that k12 systems belong squarely and solely in the hands of state and local communities, that we dont need a National School board. Poor people are condemned to sending their kids to schoolol that are failing and so i believe at the state level and many states across this country have aggressively pursued, empowering parents to put their right now, Republican Democratic candidates are set to spend a lot more time in the palmetto state ahead of the fefeuary primaries. Myra most of the candidates will return to the South Carolina next week. Charleston will be the site of both of the upcoming president ial debates.

The struggling Internet Company is shutting down its video portal, yahoo screen, which was launched two years ago with syndicated shows, such as saturday night live, and original programming including former nbc comedy community.

It is something we are keeping an eye on. Here we see, by noon on tuesday, still pictureperfect, but another push of cold air on the way. We will find the 50s in the upstate today, but the winds will bills, and will be gusty and cold. Were talking low temperatures in the teens and 20s. Look at what it means for the windchill.
