Days news, but now it is time for newswatch. Welcome to newswatch. On this weeks programme, they got their envelopes mixed up, but did bbc news get its News Priorities the wrong way round . We discuss complaints that the embarrassment of the oscars was reported on as if it was an event of major global significance but really, was it . Did you know that things did not go entirely as planned at the oscars this year . Thought so. Any bbc News Programme on monday, the strange events on stage were hard to avoid.

Hey, carl, it looks like mr munson hired some muscle. Looks that way. Hes a friend of mine. Friend with a big mouth. I hear that a lot. Then you probably hear this too. Rifle cocked more than id like. Now, the interesting thing about the film is often count to three and start walking away. I have a lawyer in our one, two, three. You know the drill. Get the hell out of here. Now, the interesting thing about the film is often with the superhero comic book franchises, you know exactly where you are.

Hello, mark whats in store . So a very mixed bag we have logan, a Superhero Movie that isnt really a Superhero Movie. Viceroys house, a very handsome period drama from gurinder chadha. And certain women, the latest low key offering from Kelly Reichardt. So wolverine, back with us. Yeah, although in a way that kind of missells it.
