Whoopi Goldberg's omission from an Oscar montage was "an absolute oversight," the award show's producer tells People Magazine."No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Gil Cates said Tuesday.
Although described as a montage of hosts, the piece shown at Sunday night's telecast on ABC was actually "supposed to be a montage of 80 exciting moments of the Academy Awards" culled from hundreds of hours of footage, says Cates. "Basically, that was not a montage about hosts."
He noted that former host Steve Martin also wasn't in the montage.
Whoopi accepted his apology this morning on The View, check out the clip below.
