It wasn’t just Brad Renfro who was left out of one of last night’s many Oscar montages.
Whoopi Goldberg was noticably absent in the Oscar host clip montage, as pointed out by her cohosts on The View this morning.
The gals, including Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, Barbara Walters and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, all chatted about how Whoopi was not only the first black woman to host the show, but she was also the second black woman ever to win an Oscar.
Declared new mom Elisabeth: “I think it’s wrong you weren’t in there!”
Despite clearly not looking happy to be overlooked, Whoopi pointed out that they also didn’t include Steve Martin.
The Whoopster eventually got up and kissed each of the View ladies, thanking them for being supportive of her. Dignity in tact.

They did show Whoopi winning her Best Supporting Actress Oscar in the montage for that award. They should have shown her hosting, since she is the best one they’ve had. They should have her host again.
Another exapmle of “those people” who run Hollywood showing their racisim towards anyone who isn’t one of them!!!
They showed a clip of her winning her oscar.
They should apologize to her. They start planning these shows immediately after the previous year’s show. They had time.
For a minute there I thought it meant that Whoopi was left out of the people that had passed away…and I was like WHAT when did Whoppi die!! I think it was wrong for them to leave her out of the host clips as well, I actually noticed that when watching. I’d be a bit miffed if I was here as well, I wonder if she had a falling out with the Academy or something?
