Was it intentional? Oscar snub leaves Whoopi sad, choked up

NEW YORK (AP) -- Whoopi Goldberg seemed sad and choked up on "The View" Monday when her fellow co-hosts discussed how she was not included in a montage featuring Oscar hosts during the Academy Awards telecast.

The 52-year-old Goldberg has received two Oscar nominations, winning for her role as Oda Mae Brown in 1990's "Ghost." She hosted the event in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2002. She did, however, appear as an Oscar winner in a separate montage Sunday night.

Goldberg appeared stumped that the academy would leave her out of the one clip, as well as repeat host Steve Martin.

"Maybe they accidentally lost a clip of you hosting. ... But I think it's wrong," Elisabeth Hasselbeck said. Joy Behar said "being slighted is never fun." Sherri Shepherd wondered if Goldberg had made someone mad.

1. That IS insane, especially since the fucking ABC franchise aired the thing
There were a few "Dancing With The Stars" professional veterans in that dance routine--hey, they're on retainer. ABC owns the VIEW franchise.

It makes no sense. NONE. WTF?????

Fucking assholes. I like Whoopi. She SAVES me. When I am trapped in front of a television with a teacup on my knee and a lonely senior wanting a bit of company and chat while the tee vee blares, she and that Joy make it a pleasant experience!

(I occasionally help old ladies with their errands and such, by way of explanation)

2. Whoppi
I didn't see any montage of hosts. But even if there was, after the disgusting way she behaved the last time she hosted, I wouldn't blame them for snubbing her. She acted like ten-year-old who just discovered dirty words. It was particularly annoying, because the previous year she was fantastic.
