Hundreds of California laws take effect with the new year, including several drafted in response to corruption scandals in the Legislature, the mass shooting in Isla Vista last spring and racially inflammatory comments by the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Others address drug crimes, the use of aerial drones by paparazzi and rights for immigrants who are in the country illegally.
(though the ruling Democrats, tarnished by criminal charges against several party legislators, failed to regain a supermajority in the Capitol).
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, who meanwhile rode a wave of popularity to a historic fourth and final term, vetoed 143 bills the Legislature sent him, saying they cost too much money, did not improve the state or created unnecessary regulations. He signed 930 others into law.

One Of These 21 Movies Will Probably
Win Best Picture
At The 2015 Oscars
The finish line is here. We are two weeks away from the Oscar nominations, which means studios need to put any last-minute campaigning into overdrive. With voting having already opened (see our dream ballots here), it stands to reason that the state of the race has more or less been determined. Still, we hope to see plenty of surprises
when the nominations arive on Jan. 15, especially in the Best Picture field, where thenumber of nominees remains a question mark.
(Since a 2011 rule change, the Academy Awards can nominate anywhere between five and 10 films for Best Picture.)
Here are the 21 movies competing in the marathon.
