Whoopi had to host the Oscars after 9/11, not easy! And she pulled it off! Great job!
Zeno2525 &&&$&
Yes, it was also amazing to see how so many weren't so sensitive yet in regards to jokes and getting easily offended. Even Whoopi can laugh about herself, her background and skin-color etc. No big deal.
What does it have to do with 9/11? It was 7 months afret that terrorist attack
@@nickxyx2879 Seriously? The events of September 11th were the most tragic event to hit American soil since ever. Even Pearl Harbour pales in comparison. People at the time were still grieving and mourning the loss of their loved ones, thousands of families being broken apart for no reasons, those physically and emotionally hurt by the scale and tragedy of the events, while also having to deal with the loss of the Twin Towers, who were an enormous symbol of American might and glory.
You're right!
I love " Oh, look. The Smith family are setted together. Will, Jada, and Maggie Smith."
My favorite part 😂
The must have planned that.
It’s very Whoopi! LOL
Seated
KEEP MY FAMILY'S NAME... !!!
A lot of newbies don't understand that it takes intelligence, natural humor, and so much more for them to hand her Oscar after Oscar. She transforms herself so well into any character that she plays.
No, it does not take intelligence. That’s the least of the skills needed, and we know that by how many truly stupid actors succeed in Hollywood.
Who are these "newbies" you speak of?
so many actors can transform and in much better roles than her, so she dressed up for once and wore high heels after decades.
The funny thing is she's worked with every member of the Smith family: Will in Made in America (1993), Jada in Kingdom Come (2001), and Maggie in Sister Act (1992).
The perfect joke.
What about Jaden Smith?
@@Greendalewitch was he born back then ?
@@chuckychuck8318 💀💀💀💀💀😂
@@Greendalewitch You missed the joke, buddy.
Thats perfect!
Imagine having to make those people laugh in a formal event she's a living legend..
Oh the glory days of fun and classy Oscar shows! We need more of those.
"Is this Liza's wedding?" I FUCKING CHOKED!
the Oscar's back then was fun and classy!
John Cladz back when sexual predators were roaming and no one said a word, what great times /s
Nostalgia is Good until it turns to dellusion.
They need to have Whoopi back!
Exactly. Whatever happened to class?
@@nviscalling5752 like R.Kelly
The "family Smith" joke was the best!!! I just Love Whoopi, she's great!
Hahaha one of the best hosts ever.. And yeah! "The Smith family" great joke! Hahaha
holy crap that was on point!
That quip WAS funny!
lt was!!! l watch this one all the time, just to hear the joke again.
And Will just slap Chris Rock
Man, in a room filled with some of Hollywood’s top entertainers, she strutted in there, and showed them all how it’s done, cracking jokes and even pulling shade in ways that few could get away with quite like her! She will forever be my Queen! Love ya, Whoopi! ❤️
Raven Estrella 🤗 She's A Great Host 🎩
She wasn’t funny. Nothing about the jokes or delivery was skilled.
oh please. she's one of the least controversial hosts ever
@@MrJamberee The audience thought she was funny and that what counts ... Not YOU!
@@MrJamberee You sure must be very funny that you needed to call yourself Mr. Jamberee! LOL!
Whoopi opening the Academy Awards is practically a tradition! I think shes done it at least three times so far. And each one is just as remarkable as the last.
Omg julia Roberts laugh tho 😂😂😂
She laugh out loud
... I always said her mouth is too large .... :-)
"Something has changed, security here tonight is tighter than some of the faces." Haha brilliant !
ohyeahmeow what she said? "All the nominees look....."
@@TheSerch22 She said, "So much mud has been thrown this year, all the nominees look black." (political mudslinging)
I literally read this comment as she was saying it.
@cherry berry 🤗 Different Time, Different Space & Face 😀🤵🏾
Love julia's laugh cracks me up every time
Whoopi Goldberg was so amazing! And still is !!
Yep such an amazing crack whore I guess reformed but who really knows
You go girl. Just like in "Sister Act," Whoopie looks fabulous.
Sandra Atkins 🤗 She did & has great legs. She's a great host 😁🎩😍
Still a 🥜 nut case
I love her Bow to Dame Maggie Smith who she co starred in Sister Act with
@@pairrynwatson4229 ❤
I guess she spent the next 20 years eating.
"This year security it tighter than some of the faces." XD
Krista Harris
😅😂😂😂
Oh ok, it was the first Oscars ceremony after 9-11! Sorry just realized we were talking about February 2002! 🤦🏻♀️
@@NiVi192 Considering the proximity to 9/11, I'm surprised she managed that reference with Mariah's movie! ('Course I don't know what the general public's reactions were at the time.)
Lmaooo
LoL 😂
4:11 Maggie Smith looks very gorgeous! One of the best actresses ever!
All the best actresses are american. we have all untalented one's like meryl streep - who is cheryl the old coles mum pretending be a singer.
Then you have victoria beckham and we have marie autotuned carey. I wish more singers was like victoria so natural and flat, unlike maria for hire who sings through software
shane fearnley
@@shanefearnley6924 Are they bollocks...
Legend
She's unique! I love this fantastic woman!!
👍👍👍👍
only Whoopy could pull this off...
Yes!
I love Whoopi! I love all of her hostings for the Oscars, I don't know why people dislike her! She's hilarious!
Because she's black
Because she did her self a very bad favor by going to the view and got into politics.
MOST people love Whoopi. The few misguided ones don't matter. They don't understand that you don't dislike a person because their views don't align with yours.
@@camprich6768 @camp Rich *MOST people actually like her.* Some may not agree with her sometimes _(as with anyone else)_ but they're good with Whoopi. The others are "few" misguided individuals who actually don't matter. They don't understand that you don't dislike a person because their views don't align with yours. Whoopi is fine. *_Her Contract with the View ends in 2 more years 2024 and she announced that she WILL NOT BE RENEWING HER "The View" CONTRACT for another run like they asked her to._* She's done with the View and Fans are Glad. We want to see her do more Movies. She's on the Board of the Academy Awards and part of the Panel that voted to Ban Will Smith for his Misconduct & Disrespect of the Oscars Ceremony & Host. He was also Forced to Resign as he should've.
People don't like Whoopi because she has no filter! She'll tell you straight up, whether you want to hear it, or not. She's made some mistakes along the way (what human being hasn't), but she's great, in my opinion!
This was the year when Oscar nominees and presenters were all famous.
I love Maggie Smith. Such a legend.
+Allen M. Quinn Me too.
me too always Professor McGonagall
+Allen M. Quinn My movie reference to her is Reverend mother in sister act...
+Allen M. Quinn Now she's the original sexy beast!!!
Allen Quinn she was aazing in The Prime of Miss Jean Brody
I commend her for dealing with 2 things; fear of heights and the fact that all of the most famous celebrities are there and one could be shy.
But she was already a megastar who had been at the apex of Hollywood celebrity, and is a member of The Academy herself. Those are her people, and Whoopi has never been known to be shy. In fact. her nickname Whoopi is a play on the joke-toy "whoopie cushion", given to her by her friends early in her career because they said she has a "flatulent" personality, LOL
:D She needs to host again please!!!!
+Megan Woodard Yeah who knows maybe she'll be asked to host next year
I know!!!!!!!! She does.
Megan Woodard exactly
Kevin who?
Rupaul drag show
@local tourist ?
I remember this, a great memory, a great time in my life. I was 20. All the actors I knew so well then. Everyone just seemed so relaxed and happy.
How was life been since ?
Nose si felices ja pero relajados en una ceremonia donde no se tocaron temas que despues son polemica como politica y demas.
I loved when she drew some attention to Maggie Smith, the look Maggie gave her was so lovely - you know there's a great friendship there.
Easily one of the best female comedians ever.
Julia's laughter gives me life 😂
When she said "Welcome to the 74th annual.." I thought she was going to say Hunger Games afterwards...
Great! :)
....that's a lot of tributes.
same bruh
Melissa Yeung how? This was in 2002
Álvaro García It's called a joke
Such a talent, she can hold that huge audience in the palm of her hand.
I think at 0:51 Ron Howard was hoping Whoopi was gonna kiss him instead of Russell Crowe 😂😂😂
Back When Whoopi opened for Victoria's Secrets.
Whoopi was one of the best Oscar hosts ever! And what a historic night that was!
She’s a genius! A national treasure!
Hahaha...she's a race baiter..and a racist.
My favorite Oscars ceremony (also the first one I saw on television). I love the design of it (classic, a lot of gold, the red curtain, yet not as flashy as nowadays). And on top of it all a great host!
now THIS IS ENTERTAINING! this is why shes AMERICAN FILM HISTORY! sing, act, perform I LOVE WOOPI!
She's too much !! and so funny...... I love her !
I would never ever get tired of watching this video.
What the fuck?
I didn´t know. Thanxs for the info

BRAD PITT Please GFY! Your comment was completely unnecessary. If you are so concerned with Polanski then your life must truly be boring!

Tennessee was the recovery film after Janet Jackson pulled out of the role
@@mariac.2795 stfu
She has a lot of balls!
I loved Whoopi's hosting duties especially her final time. She went all out that year.
2002 is one of my favourite Oscar ever!!
Whoopi even stole a kiss from Russel Crowe and made him laugh out loud back then. That´s HUGE!!! This plus Cirque the Soleil made this Oscar year one of the best!!
Whoopi needs to host again. She is just brilliant.
Halle Berry is gorgeous
Duh but not Whoopi?...This is why people get famous it's looks over talent and it's you the consumers fault.
Halle is just ok looking calm down lol
comecorrect1 uhhh Halle won Best Actress on this Oscar's. She actually has talent bruh
@@firasharb1454 Halle is beautiful u moron
@@comecorrect1 Delusional moron u need to come correct fool. Now come on
It's 2019 now but this is gold
I miss the Oscars of the early 2000s. I love Whoopi.
if someone can make Russell Crow laugh at the Oscars, is Whoopi
She is the best! LMAO hahaha
I hope The Academy invite Whoopi to host the Oscar again ASAP.
Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe are crying with laughter "Come and get me boys"
Who wouldn´t want to make a Moulin Rouge opening!! "Come and get me boys!"XD
Come and get me boys...
This is the most hilarious and brilliant opening monologue of them all!!!
She is hilarious!!! The joke about the Smith family. I never would've thought of that.
Best entrance ever.
lol julias laugh :DD
Omg, the Smith family. lmaooo.
Amy Mp
What's funny ? oO
shizukagozen777 such a coincidence that she could make fun of it?
Werner Julinho Mantilla Pizarro
I still don't get it. 😐
If you watched the video, at 3:56 she includes Dame Maggie Smith (who, being a decorated English actress is obviously completely unrelated) as the same family as Will Smitt & Jada Pinkett Smith which makes it funny.
AWWW..i love Whoopi..I laughed so hard at the Smith's joke and the fact that they were all seated together..LOL!! Maggie Smith you LEGEND!! Much respect !!
at @3:45 you can see Jenny still laughin about the Mariah joke-
i died.
Best entrance ever!
Back when i was a kid id love to stay up late in the uk to watch the Oscar's! They just dont hold that special sparkle nowadays
Oh my gosh this is insanely awesome!
This woman is a national treasure
Whoopi is a riot!!! :-D
Man she got some nice legs
super21junior Ikr
Legs are nice
Lesbian legs
Prince Omares Human legs!!
And she doesn't show them often ...and she should.
The timing on the Liza joke is memorable! :D
Welcome to the 74th Annual...HUNGER GAMES!!!! They need to have Stanley Tucci host the next academy awards as his character in the Hunger Games. :3
Welcome to the 74th... Hunger Games
+Nathan Ung If it was now she would have made the Hunger Games reference...she did make reference to Hollywood being 'Cutthroat Island' and 'Disneyland Paris'
Lol!
Whoopi-
I remember when you first started out. Seeing you on TV, I knew that you had greatness in you. I told my husband that you were beautiful. Thank you for achieving your great potential.
-a fan
the smith family joke is just the best XD
I love the cutaway to David Lynch after the Mulholland Dr. joke like, “Yeah, shit’s complicated, isn’t it?”
best host everr
i am the original sexy beast
Whoopi Goldberg had to be born exactly the date, year and time for us to enjoy her. Amazing. She couldn't be more necessary to be amongst. What a Talent and a Gift
When she mentioned Mulholland Drive, I swear to you all I smiled so hard!!!. I love you, David. What an amazing man you are.
Thanks for uploading this. I missed it due to work.
What's amazing about this is most of the actors shown in the audience ten years ago are still there every year now. (Even Jennifer Lopez, wow..) Truly the stars of our generation.
And even Ethan Hawke!!
Seeing Whoopi on the view nowadays its easy to forget how theatrical and lively she was just a few years ago.
Decades tho, be fair.
she should get an award just for coming down on that thing..that is freakn high..i would have been crying and screaming all of the way down...
Queen of the best entrances. !!!
Whoopi Goldberg is soo funny,... she cracked me up lolz :D
She did amazing
She deserved a standing ovation!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So poised, funny & DAZZLING!!
Neil Patrick harris should learn from how to do it.
Whoopi should host this years
It always Amazes me that EVERY time Whoopi did SHOW her body...it looked great! #GoHeadWhoopi
i LOVE Julia’s laughter
The monologue is great but I love the Smith joke and the little royal salute to Maggie Smith (colleague in Sister Act) at 4:08.
That year, Best Supporting Actor was unbelievable: Jim Broadbent, Ben Kingsley, Ian McKellen, Jon Voight.
The Mariah Carey joke got me laughing.
I haven't gone back to this in YEARS......Whoopi was such a funny opener...
Love Whoopi! Always the greatest!
DAME MAGGIE SMITH !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) YES. And love Whoopi as a hostess
"when i got up the trapeze i asked if they have taken safety precautions, they said "yes.. Billy Crystal" " lmao!!!!
and the "Will, Jada and... Maggie Smith!" was hillarious!
"Steppin' Out with My Baby" is by Irving Berlin. From the 1948 musical film Easter Parade. It was sung by Fred Astaire.
Hale berry looks the fucking exact same lol what is her skin care routine
Rural Queer Black dont crack. Her mother looks good too
Genetics...She was always beautiful since birth, plus her mom is gorgeous, and her dad is attractive so there you go.
Money. That's what it's called lol
I know.. and she is a smoker too!
I heard Oprah once saying that black people have better skin and age better than whites... which is true
Now this is The Oscars that we love!!! Look at Halle Berry’s Dress! This is Her Oscar Win Show!!! Now, I want to see the entire show!!! Wow!!
this could've been a drag queen act. fancy outfit, overwhelming entry, big ballsy'ness, reading people to filth. love it!
Geez, this was twenty years ago! And the last time Whoopi hosted the Oscars. She said she will never do it again.. Too bad, I miss her as the host. Not a dull moment when she's on stage as the host with her funny monologues and sketches....😃🤩
Glenn Malimban 🤗 She said She's The Original Sexy Beast!!!✅🎯😁🎩😍
"Oh look the Smith family is seated together - Will, Jada and Maggie" LOL
no, for real! xDDD
