Oscars: #metoo expected to be prominent at show

The 90th Academy Awards are taking place in Los Angeles today and will feature a live performance from Keala Settle, the half-Kiwi songstress who stars in the musical The Greatest Showman. The song she's performing is up for the best song Oscar, and has already won a Golden Globe. Keala's Levin-based aunt Lorraine Minnell spoke to RNZ and said her niece's vocal chops are in the genes. And there's a couple of other New Zealand connections to today's award ceremony - with Weta Digital's getting two nominations for best visual effects for their work on War for the Planet of the Apes and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. Our Hollywood correspondent Brad Pomerance joins us with the details.
