What were the major highlights of the Oscars this year?
Good morning for your daily show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the Oscars minted movie royalty with dark clouds gathering over Hollywood. Ben, is your favorite protein bar Regina George-ing you? It's Monday, March 16th. Let's ride. Good morning and welcome back to the week. Nasty winter weather isn't done with us yet. Today, what AccuWeather calls a triple threat March megastorm is affecting nearly 200 million people across the United States, dumping feet of snow in the upper Midwest and threatening mid-Atlantic cities like Baltimore and Washington, D.C., with high winds and possibly tornadoes. And that's before an unprecedented heat wave bakes the western United States later this week, which weather analyst Colin McCarthy said ranks among the most extraordinary heat waves the United States will ever see.
Palm Springs is forecasted to hit 111 degrees this Friday, seven degrees warmer than any other March Day Palm Springs has ever seen. Glad they finished up the tennis tournament yesterday. I know. Congrats to the Sabalenka. I want to keep it close to home because that's where we live. According to New York Metro weather, there's actually way more than four seasons in New York. There's winter and then there's first fake spring. Then it's cold and cloudy, which is where we are right now. Then there's second fake spring. Then there's winter in April, which is still coming down the pipeline until you finally reach the great pollining and then rain clouds. Rain, clouds, and mud before you get actual spring for one hour.
All that to say, I'd rather experience that than what the West is going through right now. What do you mean Denver has had more 60-degree days this winter than Myrtle Beach has? Hope you like skiing on mud and rocks. And now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads. Toby, do you ever think you've seen a billion of something all at once? Yes, I eat a lot of rice. I think you're severely underestimating how much is in a billion. For example, LinkedIn Ads has a network of over 1 billion professionals and 130 million decision makers. That's a lot. You can target your buyers by job, title, industry, company role, seniority, skills, company revenue, so you can stop wasting budget on the wrong audience. Plus, LinkedIn ads generates the highest B2B, that's business to business, ROAS of all online ad networks.

On an Oscars night that gave us one award after another after another, it was fitting that one battle after another, a saga about an ex-revolutionary searching for his daughter, won Best Picture in the end. Paul Thomas Anderson also won Best Director for the film, giving one of the most renowned filmmakers of our time his first trophies. In the other major categories, Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for Sinners, defeating Timothee Chalamet and Marty Supreme. Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for making us all sob in Hamnet.
And absent Sean Penn won Best Supporting Actor for his lock-jawed role in One Battle. And Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for Weapons. Overall, One Battle notched the most Oscar wins, with six coming out ahead of four for Sinners, which received a record 16 nominations going in. Feels like we say this every year, but cinema's biggest night arrived at a time when Hollywood is facing an existential crisis. A mega merger between Paramount and Warner Brothers is set to reduce the number of studios. Movie production is fleeing Los Angeles. Theater going is way down. And concerns that artificial intelligence will take creatives' jobs is pervasive. Host Conan O'Brien even opened his monologue by saying...
I am honored to be the last human host of the Academy Awards. Next year, it's going to be a Waymo in a tux. He also alluded to the encroachment of tech into the movie world, dissing Amazon for not scoring any Oscar nominations. Why isn't the website I ordered toilet paper from winning more Oscars, he wondered.
