Whoopi Goldberg is pissed two NY critics failed to mention her Oscar win in an article in the NY Times. She called them out this morning on ‘The View’ for not mentioning her name in a segment focusing on a piece written by Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott that listed several black Oscar winners dating back to 1940.
Whoopi is an institution in the business of show business. She is one of a handful of entertainers to win the EGOT (Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar, Tony) awards and was only the second African American female to win an Oscar. As she is one of the most recognizable talents around the globe, how could someone fail to remember her accomplishments?
Well, two NY TImes critics “apparently” did and they got called out today on “The View.”
Whoopi said, “I’m embarrassed to tell you it hurt me terribly,” referring to a segment focusing on a piece written by Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott that listed several black Oscar winners dating back to 1940, but didn’t include Whoopi.
“When you win an Academy Award, that’s part of what you’ve done, your legacy. I will always be Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg. This is not hidden information. And to these two critics, the head critics of The New York Times. It’s hard to not take it personally.”
