Apologies are in the air today!
Oscar producer Gil Cates reportedly called the failure to acknowledge Whoopi Goldberg's stint as a two time Oscar host in a montage "an absolute oversight".
"No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Cates said Tuesday. "I'm going to call her and tell her that."
Cates went on to more or less defend the montage in question. The montage supposedly was NOT a host montage. It was meant to highlight 80 exciting Academy Award moments. He also pointed out that former host, Steve Martin, wasn't in the montage.
Cates did give Whoopi some props by calling her a "formidable talent."
Hope Whoppi tells us all about the call on The View tomorrow!
