She didn't get emotional about being snubbed.

She welled-up because she was touched that her fellow panelists on the show were so adamant that she should have been included in the montage.

Her "African Queen" moment was the funniest thing on an Oscars program in the last thirty years. End of story.

Jeezus, we're reduced to reading about bitchy hollywood egos that didn't get stroked enough on Hollywoods biggest ego stroking night of nights?

Who cares? Whoopi Goldberg couldn't carry Billy Crystals or Johnny Carson's jock.

Cates should've kept his mouth shut. To suggest that it was an "absolute oversight" not to include Whoopi in the montage is b.s. - it's not like she just hosted one time - she's hosted four times. That's a lot of Whoopi footage to sift through and accidentally "oversee". Crapola.

I thought Whoopi showed a lot of class by how she responded on the 'View' to the whole ordeal. A number of articles have mentioned how disappointed she was; I didn't see it when I watched the show, nor have I seen it in the replays. Hurt, possibly, but I didn't see an influx of emotions.

Too bad that they left her out. I loved her 'Elizabeth' costume.

They forgot Brad Renfro during the Memorial sequence as well.

The View should be registered as a PAC for Clinton. They have been echoing her talking points in the same way FOX has been an extension of the Bush White House.

Maybe the writers should have stayed out on strike.

Some perspective, folks: imagine if EVERYONE who felt that they were under-recognized at the Oscars, Grammys, etc. responded this way?

We wouldn't hear the end of it.

Whoopi's reaction is no different than if one of the nominees felt personally injured/slighted for not winning an award...

It's an award ceremony! It's conducted by humans! People will be left out. There will be disputable decisions. Didn't we all learn somewhere along the line NOT to take it personally, to be humble, good sports in these situations?

Give me a break.

Those defending her here, simply because they like her (I do too) are simply not maintaining perspective about the event and the written and unwritten rules of participation that make it remotely bearable...

Is it all better now, Whoopi?

Imagine if you were not on The View's panel, you

would have been home alone crying over nothing.

When you go into The Void people forget your existence, let alone relevance. Fox Light for chicks.

whoopi is just parroting the confused thinking of 'her' candidate, Hillary, to wit; I deserve it, I've been good before, what is wrong with you decision makers.?

Whoopi was ever so much better than John Stewart as host of the Oscars. He wasn't even doing a good impression of himself being bad: He was just plain bad. I was so disappointed. The show was unimaginatively scripted, and yet no one varied from the script. Unbelievable. Bad theatre all the way around.

Whoopi is not ugly, rude, or bad. Even if the writers were on strike the planners were not, and they did a really poor job of it. The insult to Whoopi is an insult to all of us who watched.

not an oversight. they just didn't want to acknowledge that a butt ugly woman hosted before. yes, i typed that, but I still like her.

I don't know, I think Whoopi appearing as Queen Elizabeth I was pretty damn memorable, by a host or otherwise.
