Oscar Apology to Whoopi Goldberg
February 27th, 2008 by Tess
After Whoopi’s pity party on The View, the producer of the Oscars has apologized for “an absolute oversight” that occurred when she was left out of an Oscar montage. Gil Cates said, “No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out. I’m going to call her and tell her that.”
He went on to explain that the montage was not just of hosts as described on the show. Instead, it was a montage of 80 exciting moments from hundreds of hours of Oscar footage. Hence, the reason why former host Steve Martin was also not included.
