Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.

You're rolling. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. The Oscars was amazing. No, genuinely it was my first time there. I, eternally grateful to anyone who, like, made it happen.

I was, I was, I was in heaven. I was like, this is genuinely insane. Like, everyone tries to act fancy about it. I see people tweeting all the time like, oh, nobody cares about the Oscars. Who cares? Who cares? I don't care.

And then it's now, I care. They would try that cool all they want, man. It's like, no matter who you are around the world, you watch movies. Do you know what I mean? It's like movies that'll make you happy, movies, it'll make you sad, these people, you see them as part of your life, you've grown up with them,

you see them in person. amazing and there's like all these after parties that come afterwards and I didn't know about these things. So it's like there's the main event and then there's like the first after party and then there'll be like the next afterparties like it's called the Vanity Fair afterparty and it's super like exclusive and then you go there and so something in some way, you know what I mean? So I'm standing there, it's myself, it's Terry Cruz, you know what I mean? It's like, you're standing in the line with people, people know it's like, Kagan, Michael, Key, there he is.

It's like, yeah, we've done stuff. You know us. And then we're moving forward, and then they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. And they're th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, so I'm, so I'm, so I'm, so I'm, so I's, so I's, so I's, so I's, so I's. So, so I's, so I's, so. So. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, I'm that's, some. So, some. So, some. So, some. So, some. So, I'm that's, so I'm that's, so I'm that's, so. So all like, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry. And Jelow walks in and she goes and she stands. And this was the funniest thing, because there's all these photographers taking pictures, right? And they're like taking pictures of us while we're standing there. And then when Jelo comes, it's almost like the photographers wish they could untake our pictures. Like, they wish they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. comes, it's almost like the photographers wish they could untake our pictures. Like they wish they could be like, ah, I wish I hadn't wasted any battery on these men. Because she, I don't know if you saw the pictures of, she looked amazing, she had like

this glitterball gown thing, it was like mirrors, it was reflecting, it was just like, so she's walking through and everyone is just like she looks stunning. Everyone just wanted a picture of her. Like no one, we didn't exist anymore as people, as anything. Like even my, even my iPhone started deleting my own pictures by itself. It was just like no, no, make space. Take pictures of Jelo. Take pictures of Jelo. So that was so that was

the one after party and then in my opinion probably the best after party is the jazzy biance after party yeah so they they throw and it's like the coolest thing I was no social media there's no anything just people having a great time and like everyone's just having fun again, it's a little weird because like you if you're not used to it, there are moments when you go like, this is surreal, all right? Because like one moment I'm on the dance floor. I'm dancing, I'm like dancing, dance, because the DJ Black Coffee was there, South African DJ amazing and he's on's dance and it's like no

No, no, no, no, you're like a professional no Like the rest of us is like a thae and then us is like move move to the other one to the thing do it all yeah Yeah, back and it's like no there should be like a professional dance floor and then a dance for the rest of us This is both like the rest th. like like th. like th. like the th. like th. like the th. like the the th. like th. th. the th. th. th. th. the rest th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thus. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. thi thi to the to to to the to to to the the to the the the. This is both, like the rest of us is like making our bodies move and ushers dancing. It's like what's next? Karaoke with Beyonce? No, it's not fair. It's not fair. You go dance over there.

And speaking of Beyonce and J. Like just sweetest, nice people. You know, this was the weirdest moment of my night, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, I, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, and, and, I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, and, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they..e, they.e, they.ooooooooooooooo, they.e, they.e, they.e, they. And, they, their, their, tho, this was the weirdest moment of my night and maybe my life. I will see where I categorize it was, I'm on the dance floor, everyone's having a good time, and then Beyonce starts walking in my direction. So I'm like, oh, I should move, right? Because it's Biance, where she is going is not to me. So I'm like, I must move, it's Biance. And I also do not want to be involved in this. thia, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, to, to thi, thi, I, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, the, the, the the the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi beehive coming off to me because they're like yo you block Biance's path I don't want to be involved in this So she like walks towards me so I like turn to move out of the way

But it turns out she was coming to say hi she says hi to everybody like just like a nice high You think she'd be like sitting in really cool and she comes over to say hi. But now I'm like moving away from her and she's like trying to like come in and hug me and say hi. And I'm like movie and then I realize I'm like I'm like I'm making Beyonce do this weird move. And I'm like, oh I'm sorry Beyonce, I'm so sorry. It was, yeah it was if it never happens again, it's fine, I'm done. The NWACP Image Awards were like super amazing this weekend. Some of the most fun I've ever had. Jay-Z and Biance attended, which is always like a, like it's anywhere they go. It's like, I've seen presidents that have less security than them.

Like literally, like they arrived and it was like royalty. And it's a room full of like movie stars and TV actors and musicians and Jay-Z and Beyonce come and everyone's like shh and they're going like they sit in the front row and we're like all behind them and everyone's like looking over and it's like you can see and like everyone in the back is almost like breathing the same air breathing the same air what was this was honestly maybe one of my favorite moments in life that I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I that I that I th I th I th I th I th I they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they air, breathing the same air. Well, this was honestly one of my favorite moments in life that I will cherish until I die. So at the end of the awards, so Jay-Z was the recipient of the President's Award for all the work that he's done with criminal justice reform. He's done an amazing job fighting to reform, you know, mass incarceration in America.

And Beyonce is up for the final award of the night, which is entertainer of the year. So she might go up and then receive her award. And so like there's gonna be a whole thing, like when she goes, is she gonna leave? Is Jay-Z gonna stay? So she wins, right? She's Beyonce, she wins.

So she goes up and she receives her award, and then she's sitting sitting, and, and, and, and, and, and, and she leaves backstage. But Jay-Z is sitting in the front row and his security I guess didn't realize that the show was going to end as abruptly as it did, right? And so his bodyguards are like standing at the edge of the theater where we had and we're in the middle of the theater. And then Anthony Anderson comes out and he's like, all right, good night everybody, that's a show, goodbye. And that was it. So. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone. So everyone just just just stands. And everyone. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the stage and then everyone just rushes to Jay-Z because they're like, it's Jay-Z! Everyone rushes towards him. Now, I'm trying to get out because if you've ever left any, you know when you leave an event, there's going to be chaos, there's going to be, it doesn't matter, the celebrity or not. It's traffic, it's traffic. And so like, he wants to push his way out and the bodyguards want to push their way, but like you're jammed because everyone's leaving that way. And Jay-Z can't push the people because he's Jay, right? You can't push people when you have a billion dollars.

I'd like, everything is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You can't. So he's just keep his arms by his side. So I'm like, I run up. And to, and he, and he, and he, and he, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, th, th, th, th.

And I was like, are you okay? He's like, my body guys. And then I was like, all right, just walk. And I'm like, just walk.
