Whoopi Goldberg received apology from Oscar producer over the Oscar Montage ( Alleged) Oversight


Apparently the Oscars sent a silent message to Whoopi Goldberg that her services are needed and until she comes back to hos the show, they will leave her out of more montages. Now if I can believe that I will believe in the pig that flew by my office window this morning, as I was drinking my cup of Java and Vodka.

The Oscars is a big show, that is dubbed as a flawless event showcasing the work of artist in the film industry in the past year. From those who direct, produce, design sets and costumes, sound and image editing, Acting, writing, and much more. So in the mix of that they leave out people, people that may take offenses, at the end of the show, leaving them feeling as if it is a pretentious work of snobbery.

Whoopi Goldberg is one of these people who were left out of a Montage. Along with others, feeling that she was snubbed this year by the Oscars and not acknowledged for her past service to the academy, as a 2 time host, and a recipient winner for her acting. The producer of the Oscars stated to People that it was "an absolute oversight." Also saying "no harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Gil Cates said Tuesday. "I'm going to call her and tell her that."

The producer of this show is the same producer that invited her to host. This is more of a personal reaction as to why she would not be included in a montage, whether it be about hosting or the funniest moments as they say it was about. Cates continue on to say it was an " Oversight" and topping it off by saying "I asked her to be on the show. She did it twice," he said. "She is a formidable talent."

Whether it is an oversight or an act of malice we will find out over time. However I think that it is safe to say, that she was forgotten.

George Clooney ::: He of little Faith


George is not the type of individual that will go down with out an analysis of the past year. Although it is days before the Oscars, our Michale Clayton star, feels that his glory is in his art, that he will not make it hoe with the top honors Trophy, Oscar. Unfortunate at it is, the challenges that he is up against are tremendous, and with poise and style, our man of the year George Clooney has decided to give you a run down of what is to come on Sunday. It is in good taste and he feels that he is the top runner, but against an Barack Obama of an actor , Daniel Day lewis who is up for a nomination for the Oscars Top Spot.

Clooney stated to times; "For me, it's like being Hillary Clinton," also to say, "If it weren’t for Barack Obama, it would have been a very good year." Adding, "Our film is the best it can be in that genre," topping it off with, "there's a ceiling on that genre."
