whoopi be the only reason i watch the oscar that year . she be hilarious . of course there be a major serious side to the show . she be great not only because she funny and but because she say some thing that need to be say in a public forum . white folk need to be remind that hollywood award ceremony and employment and and representation be way out of balance racially . there should be no need for black award show . the white bread and milquetoast nominator and judge need to bring their head into the sunshine and see that great material be not limit to white director and producer and actor and etc . allow woody allen on the air be the depth of poor taste . he have no business be there . the fact of the matter be and this be the first oscar presentation i have watch since the color purple be up for award . that miscarriage of voting sour me on watch the show until 2002. which be not to denigrate other presenter . billy crystal be a riot .
