Holmes sit down with Belinda Luscombe, Editor-at-Large for TIME Magazine, to get her immediate reaction to the nominees following the announcement out of Hollywood. Hear which favorites were left out and which underdogs made their way in.

'Wild Within' host eats what he kills in new Travel Channel show
Forget the supermarket, or even the farmer’s market—Steven Rinella is getting his food straight from the source, the great outdoors.
Rinella, a lifelong outdoorsman, is host of the new Travel Channel series “The Wild Within,” which follows him into the wild where he hunts and gathers his own food. This morning on American Morning, Rinella tells AM's Kiran Chetry and Jim Acosta about his lifelong passion for fishing and hunting, and how the show is inspired by a recent cultural trend: knowing where the food on our kitchen tables comes from.
“The Wild Within” premieres on Sunday, January 9 on the Travel Channel. Each episode ends with grand feast, but first viewers get to travel with Rinella to various destinations across the globe, such as Scotland, Alaska and Guyana.
Theater critic calls 'Spider-Man' show a 'trainwreck'
New York (CNN) - The stage musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" will have new safety protocols when it reopens Wednesday night, following an accident in which a performer fell and suffered serious injuries during a preview, officials said. Christopher Tierney, 31, is listed in serious condition, said Bellevue Hospital spokesman Steven Bohlen.
Prior to these recent setbacks, the musical was already the most expensive Broadway show in history.
Today on American Morning, New York Post Theater and Arts Critic Michael Riedel refers to the show as a "trainwreck" and "chaos." He explains to AM's John Roberts and Carol Costello why actors he knows involved in the show are concerned about the safety of the stunts.
