BALDWIN: Just into CNN, the Houston Astros have fired their Manager and General Manager after the investigation by major league baseball found them guilty of cheating, specifically stealing signs during the Astros' 2017 World Series winning season. The league had suspended them for the upcoming 2020 season and as part of the punishment, the Astros will forfeit their first and second round selections for the 2020 and 2021 players drafts and pay a $5 million fine. And this year the Oscar nominations for best director are officially in, and they're all men. Not a single women out of this year's long list of notable female directors scored a nomination, not one. HBO's "Insecure" actress Issa Rae seemed to sum it up in just four little words. Watch this.</s>ISSA RAE, ACTRESS: "Parasite," Bong Joon Ho. I did it. I did it. Thank you so much. Congratulations to those men.</s>BALDWIN: I can watch that on loop. She's so right, "Little Women" director, Greta Gerwig was considered to be a top contender, had she been nominated Gerwig would have been the first woman in history to be nominated for best director twice. And that's not saying much because the Oscars have been around for 92 years, but I guess congratulations are certainly in order to all of those men. I'm Brooke Baldwin, thanks for being with me, "THE LEAD" with Jake Tapper starts right now.
Issa Rae on Oscar Nominees, Congratulations to Those Men.
