During the Academy Awards they did a montage of past hosts and they didn't show Whoopi. Okay, thanks. That's it? I saw the headline on yahoo a couple days ago, but didn't click on it. I was really expecting something more.

They didn't show Steve Martin either and you don't hear him whining all over the media about it. STFU, Whoopi.

It was NOT a montage of past hosts, it was a montage of memorable past Oscar moments that just happened to include some past hosts. The only ones I remember specifically seeing are David Letterman and Billy Crystal. So yeah, STFU Whoopi.

How can she STFU about something people keep asking her about? I think being the first African-American to host the Oscars solo, not to mention the first (if not only) female is a damned memorable moment. I don't care if they left out Steve Martin, Bob Hope or Jesus Christ - they should've shown Whoopi.

I agree, when I heard that, the first thing I thought of was, "Typical, make a black woman invisable, yet again."

If that was the case, then they would have left out Whoopi in the supporting actress winner's montage, Halle Berry winning, and Hattie McDaniel winning, which they didn't. I think it was a mistake and she needs to stop whining about it and MOVE ON.

I think she was one of the worst hosts ever, so I can get her exclusion of memorable oscar moments.

Not only was she a bad host, but she wasn't even a memorably, spectacularly bad host like David Letterman. Her hosting was just tedious and stupid and made you want to forget it and look forward to something better the next year.
She was still infinitely better than Billy Crystal though.

Did she actually whine about it herself? I just saw some Youtube clip and it seemed like all the other women on the View were going on and asking her about it. But it didn't seem like she brought it up on her own. The other women seemed more befuddled by it than she did.
The headlines were saying she was crying but I didn't see any crying in the clip. She just looked somewhat subdued, I guess.....but I don't know if that had to do with the Oscars. But it sure didn't look like she was shedding tears.
Did she talk (or whine) about it in other places?
