Whoopi Goldberg Unveils Sudden Style Switch-Up in Grand Return to the Academy Awards After Almost a Decade
The View co-host, who won the award for Best Supporting Actress for Ghost in 1990, stepped out wearing a shiny navy blue dress that featured a wide floor-length skirt, a form-fitting waist and folds of fabric that wrapped across her chest.

The gown was long enough to obscure Goldberg's shoes as she stood casually while posing for the photographers who were lined up along the red carpet, her hands dipped inside what appeared to be pockets on the outer edges of her skirt.
Goldberg, who has hosted the Oscars four times throughout her illustrious career, hasn't been seen on the storied stage since she presented the segment for the Honorary Academy Awards and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2016.
She was, however, seen in 2017's Mean Tweets segment, and presented at the Governors Awards, the year following.
While the categories each presenter will cover are usually kept quiet by the Academy, according to Entertainment Weekly, Goldberg was expected to "appear on stage during a ceremony where her fellow Ghost star Demi Moore is widely expected to win Best Actress for her role in the 2024 body-horror masterpiece The Substance"—meaning the award for Actress in a Leading Role, in which Moore is up against Karla Sofía Gascón, Fernanda Torres, Mikey Madison, and Cynthia Erivo.
The actress previously won her first-ever Golden Globe for the role and is widely favored to win, though Erivo's fans are crossing their fingers, as this win for her would make her the youngest ever to achieve EGOT status. Goldberg achieved EGOT status in 2002 after winning a Tony for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Other presenters include Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, and the four big acting winners from last year, among others: Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Emma Stone.

Denzel Washington Cooked Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones So Bad Even Stephen A. Smith Was Speechless
Source: Bruce Glikas / Getty The Dallas Cowboys have been so uneventful over the past few years that even Denzel Washington is calling out owner Jerry Jones. Washington was promoting Highest 2 Lowest, the latest Spike Lee joint, on First Take Tuesday morning, and went off about the Cowboys, a team Stephen A. Smith relishes in hating. The New York native starts with love, recalling how he became interested in the team as a kid because they shared a similar style of play with his high school team. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. 'I've been a Cowboys fan since the '60s, he's making it hard for me,' he begins. 'Not to be a fan, because I'll still have a star on the side of my hat. But he's not thinking about us, he's thinking about his pockets.' Spike Lee eggs him on with a laugh, saying, 'Get Jerry Jones on the phone.' Professional sports teams are unlike any other establishment when it comes to determining their success. Usually, it's about money, and since the Cowboys hold the title of the most valuable sports franchise in the world, with a $9 billion valuation, they've already got that on lock. But when it comes to winning, no one takes them seriously since they haven't won a Super Bowl since 1997, which was also the last time they advanced to the NFC championship game. They've also only won four playoff games in the last 25 years, with losses including 2023's Wild Card round, 2022's Divisional Round, and 2021's Wild Card round. Stephen A. Smith has spoken with Jones about the team's on-field success, and Jones just touts the 'recognition, notoriety, and dollars' the team makes. Washington draws a comparison between sports and his world of acting, calling out Jerry Jones. 'There's box office, and then there's Oscars, Jerry. Been a while, huh? You ain't been to the show, you wouldn't know,' Washington says while looking dead into the camera. 'You haven't been to the show, so you don't know what it is to win.' Even the usually talkative Stephen A. Smith admits to being speechless, as Washington says that there's no beef, and his passion comes from being a fan for so long. Washington jumping into the never-ending Cowboys debate is only the latest surprising addition, as last week Nicki Minaj unknowingly got involved when Dez Bryant was name-dropped. See how social media is reacting to Washington's appearance on the sports debate show below. Denzel Washington Cooked Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones So Bad Even Stephen A.

Denzel Washington gives his brutally honest take on Oscars after ‘Gladiator II' snub
Denzel Washington doesn't care about those shiny gold trophies. The 'Fences' actor, 70, recently explained why winning an Oscar isn't important to him in his career. 'I don't do it for Oscars. I don't care about that kind of stuff,' he stated on 'Jake's Takes' while promoting his new film, 'Highest 2 Lowest.' 8 Denzel Washington accepts his Oscar for Best Actor for 'Training Day' in 2002. AP 'I've been at this a long time, and there's time when I won and shouldn't have won and then didn't win and should've won,' Washington continued. 'Man gives the award. God gives the reward.' Despite being nominated nine times and taking home two wins at the award ceremony, Washington declared: 'I'm not that interested in Oscars.' 8 Denzel Washington on 'Jake's Takes.'

Awww. Oh, I'm so upset.' 'Listen, I've been around too long. I've got — I don't wanna say other fish to fry, but there's a reality at this age,' he explained. 'The beginning of wisdom is understanding. I'm getting wiser, working on talking less and learning to understand more — and that's exciting.' 8 Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington in 'Gladiator 2.' ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 Denzel Washington in 'Gladiator II.' ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection Three months after the Oscars snub, Washington failed to get nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in 'Othello,' which generated controversy for its high ticket costs. Last year, Washington made headlines for saying he plans to retire after his slew of upcoming acting projects, including 'Black Panther 3.' 'I don't know how many more films I'm going to make. Probably not that many,' he admitted during an interview with Australia's Today. 'I want to do things I haven't done,' Washington added.
