    WhoopiGate: Ladies Of 'The View' Rally Around Their Snubbed, Four-Time-Oscar-Host Sister

    Unlike some of the other snubbees edited for time by an Oscars producing committee hellbent on delivering a telecast that clocked in at under four hours, Whoopi Goldberg is not dead. We therefore caught a painfully direct glimpse into her wounded eyes when her View sisters stood up for their moderatin' girlfriend, demanding to know where Whoopi was during all those montage sequences. (And in particular, the one titled Oscar Celebrates The Great Female Oscar Hosts of the Past Twenty Years, which pulled clips exclusively from Ellen DeGeneres's single turn at the podium.)

    True, there was a shot of her accepting her Oscar for Ghost. But what about her four (1993, 1995, 1998, 2001) stints as Master of Ceremonies? Was she Oscar-hosting chopped liver? Then again, we don't exactly remember sitting back for an extended Academy Salute to Chris Rock Turning on Jude Law, And By Extension, All Of Us sequence, either, suggesting that unlike the Presidential race, the office of Oscar Host is still one largely dominated by white guys.
