Sorry, Whoopi
Filed under: Awardz > Whoopi Goldberg
Apologies are in the air today!
Oscar producer Gil Cates reportedly called the failure to acknowledge Whoopi Goldberg's stint as a two time Oscar host in a montage "an absolute oversight".
"No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Cates said Tuesday. "I'm going to call her and tell her that."
Cates went on to more or less defend the montage in question. The montage supposedly was NOT a host montage. It was meant to highlight 80 exciting Academy Award moments. He also pointed out that former host, Steve Martin, wasn't in the montage.
Cates did give Whoopi some props by calling her a "formidable talent."
Hope Whoppi tells us all about the call on The View tomorrow!

Fuck that stupid ass drug addict, who gives a fuck.
Re: Kyler Cladvaon –
Just like you did you retarded piece of cockwad
28TH BITCHESSSS
Who cares. ……Perez you should have filed this one under 'Old People'……
Actually, Whoopi has hosted FOUR times, not two.
BIG FUCKING BOO HOO
28th!
I think that the omissions of Brad Renfro & Roy Scheider from the "Rememberance Montage" is far worse.
THEY WONDER WHY THEIR RATINGS ARE GETTING LOWER & LOWER EACH YEAR.? BECAUSE THE PRODUCTION IS SHIT, THEY RUSH THE SPEECHES, THEY ALWAYS FORGET SOMBODY IN THE IN MEMORIUM PART. NO HOST IS EVER GOING TO BE "GOOD" ENOUGH BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO KEEP IT CLEAN (the old five sec delay) THE OSCARS HAVE TURNED INTO A BORING ASS JOKE.. ZZZZZZZZZZ…
SHe should be grateful she is even working, talentless hack
to be fair, they probably threw the show together at the last minute, thinking it would never take place.
i didn't even watch the shit. everything i needed to know about the show i learned at perezhilton.com
Stop being such a DIVA!
Re: Kyler Cladvaon –
Why don't you just go!
She said on The View she hosted 4 times. Not 2. And it's just STUPID of the Academy to obviously insult someone who has a highly rated morning show coming on 12 hours after yours ends. The producer of that particular Oscar show blew it pretty bad in more ways than one. I hope some heads roll for the Renfro slip up as well. Why don't they just cut out the goddamn musical numbers for all the nominated songs (it's not the Tony's!) and some of the BS and make the show a manageable two hours long with actually interesting clips and jokes? Perhaps the public would watch next year if they put some effort into it.
So when are they going to formally apologize for snubbing Brad?
blah blah yawn
Re: Jessie –
Never, he was a drug addict piece of shit nobody
Boo-friggin-hoo! There's been 80 YEARS of the Oscars and I doubt that she and Steve Martin were the only ones not in the "montage". She WAS in a "montage" of Best Actress Award Winners so WTF?? She needs to get over herself and shut up already. I use to like her a lot, but she really has started to annoy me over the past few years.
She was probably left out because the year she was host she was sicking.
All she talked about was sex, thinking her jokes were funny.
She's an ugly has been.
Time to hang it up Woopie!
She is not being a Diva, she is not even complaining! The fact is that the OSCARS sucked big time. It looked like my 8th grade promotion slide show. What about Steve Correll and Anne Hathaway? he acted like he got the categories mixed-up and we were supposed to think that is funny? like that has never been done before? It was funny when Chris Rock hosted-but, talk about Diva's, all the stars got their panties in a wad over his jokes and that is why it is a boring night, all the DIVA's in the audience can't take it
I did not watch the shitfest but am curious which dead person registered the most applause on the Maggot Foodometer. It was a bumper crop of flatliners this year.
what talent are u talking about, this women is too old and ugly she does not have any talent. get over Woopie

get over Woopie and know that you have no talent what's ever.. You look like you need a good hair shampoo.
almost the sloppiest oscar show in history–remember the terrible one where snow white was dancing with rob lowe–and the academy people had neglected to get disney permission to use their trademarked characters–oops!!! lawsuit!!!
this year they didn't need disney permission, cuz disney/abc ran the whole show and made sure that their precious hillbilly skankette was on–what the fuck was miley there for??? why???? also, why was heidi klum there? what did she have to do with the oscars? and where were kate winslet, tom cruise, angelina, brad, jake gyllenhal, reese witherspoon???
too many d-listers and z-listers, not enough a-listers to matter. even the a-list, unless they were nominated, didn't attend!!!!
anywayz–they dissed whoopie, left out renfro, had a slippery spot on stage that nearly everybody slipped on….what a shoddy production!!!! no wonder the number of viewers was down.

WHATS WITH ALL THESE BRAWDS GETTING ALL BUT HURT ALL OVER THE PLACE?? SHIT! YOU DON'T SEE STEVE MARTIN CRYING ABOUT IT!!! AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON BUG FAT ARETHA. . .SIT DOWN YOU DUMB HOS!!

My God, this is ridiculous - stop playing the pity card woman. If this is such a big life problem - I pity her values… Lady, with all of the misery in the world and kids dying of illnesses and on and on and this is what you feel sorry for yourself about? I am a physician and this makes my blood boil to see such selfishness.
She will get so much attention now after her little pity party and shamed them into calling her and fawning over her. Inconceivable…
Who cares. Can't stand her. It's a MAN baaaaby!
oversight my ass. like seriously how the hell could you forget WHOOPI of all people. FUCK THEM!!!
This was a really STUPID mistake. Maybe just pure NO Knowlede. Whoopi is a little to the left, but she is a great actress and a good person! What is the real excuse from the producers???? The Ocars were terrible, by the way!
NO oversight.
Eliminated her from a political AGENDA in support of TURKEY LEGS CLINTON.
You know, Dee Dee Myers just wrote a book about what the world would be like if women ran it. As much of a feminist as I am, I have to say that if the world being run by women was anything like listening to those cackling hens on The View, I'd blow my brains out.
Get over it, Whoopi. You suck and no grown woman calls herself 'Whoopi'.
what a load of fuss about nothing. i didn't see steve martin crying on live tv…
Whoopie has more talent than any of you ignorant savages here.
She is funny, has done many movies and YES she hosted the Oscars 4 times.
Hopefully it was just an oversight.
Whoopie is very well spoken, very bright and has a heart and compassion for people.
More than I can say for most black people, who make a point to speak Eubonics (haughty black speech) and are so into their own color and other assorted bullshit, it makes me sick!
Just like they "forgot" about her and Oprah for The Color Purple and to try to make it better they give her an award for that crappy Ghost movie. By the way Oscars sucked. Leaving out Renfro during the tribute was just plain wrong. Leave out all those old effers that we never heard of instead!
She hosted 4 times, and was (and I think still is) the only host to actually win an oscar. She is also the only black woman to have more than one nomination.
They can spin it how they want, she got screwed!
I love her purse/bag!
Grow up, Whoopi. And cry me a river while you're at it.
If you've starred in Jumpin' Jack Flash, you don't deserve to appear in any Oscar montage. EVER.
Steve Martin has too much class to give a crud about any of this. He's smart enough to realize EVERY HOST WASN'T MEANT TO APPEAR IN THAT MONTAGE. Let Whoopi make a fool out of herself.
Holy mackarel Andy, did you sees dat ugly womans in da picturebox hyere! Or is it a mans? Look likes a gorrilla.
Go Whoopi, the exscuse was a LAME one like come on go home
GO WHOOPIE!!!
Dude that exscuse was LAME-O Grow a pear loser and admit you were wrong.
I absolutely hate black… they always feel sorry for themselves!!
They don't belong in our society… I wish they would go back to
Africa with their ancestors…the apes
Re: ann – I wish Ann would go back to STUPID LAND !!!!! haaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaahaaah
*4 time host!
who cares
It is so obvious that Perez is NOT writing his blog anymore. Time for a boycott!
Re: ann – That's totally out of order lady!!………… how stupid do you sound this is 2008, wake up!!!
Re: Kyler Cladvaon – Haha, leave America bitch, you just posted.
Ps. I fucking love Whoopie.
If it had been a montage of ALL the hosts, then I can see where she could have been upset; however, it apparently wasn't, and I don't see Steve Martin being interviewed by ET and balling about it (although I'm sure he would just to be funny). I've lost all respect for Whoopee since she's joined The View. Not only is it a ridiculous show, but she can't even stand up for what's right on the show and instead caves and kowtows to Baba Wawa. She's nothing more than a ridiculous kiss-up now.
MAYBE GIL CATES SHOULD ALSO APOLOGY TO RICHARD JENI'S FAMILY FOR BLATANTLY ADMITTING THE COMEDIAN /ACTOR AND WRITER FOR THE 77TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS…IN 2005.
whoppi ! you shouldnt care !
youre kick ass !
THIS IS TO ANN #71
YOU RACIST!
GET OVER IT ..ITS 2008
STUPID REMARKS LIKE THAT SHOULDNT BE SAID ANYMORE
Don't let it bother u Whoopi, the Oscars suck ass most of the time anyway. Too long and entirely too boring.

Whoop, you be the coolest…………don't go fretting……cause we luv yah!! I am happy that the oversight was discussed openly on the view, maybe now they will take time to think be fore being hastful to finish things up too quickly.
Some things just require a little more thought!
And hey…whoop…what's with that Gary Busey guy?????? Is he dealing with a full deck or high on somehing? Manic perhaps??
OH GOD! I hope she's going to be OK!
Give me a break. Puke - yep, that's me barfing.
Get over yourself. Self important ho.
Whoopi is fantastic…. LOVE HER TO DEATH…..
she is one funny, intelligent lady.
if you like girls, are black and a woman and if you whine like a little girl, you can get what you want. skank.
Why do they keep this show so safe & clean. Like some kids are actually going to say "oh boy the oscars are on". Let the recipents say what they really want to without worrying, Let the hosts actually do some of their acts without having to reword everything. We all know that only "adults" are sitting down to watch. STOP making this show so dull, We can handle a "dirty" word. P.S. NO MORE MUSIC NUMBERS THEY BLOW!
Re: AJ –
EXACTLY! My point indeed. How many past hosts have earned an OSCAR? Not one… this was more than a slight oversight and one for the records… shame on them.
Whoopi is way yesterdays news. She needs a stiff one up the butt and a shower with soap.
that was FOUR times
