Huh? Her 2 best roles came in a 6 year window, you're acting like She's been knocking it out of the park for decades like Oldman or Denzel, Color purple, Ghost and I'll even give Her sister act, where are these other roles that Gen Z or millennials would know her from? Eddie? Burglar? Jumping Jack Flash?😂 Boomers and Gen Xers will remember Whoopi for her acting peak, to the rest She's a chick on the view Who can't even remember how she accepted the 2016 election.

Both my first movies, Sister Act 1 scene “ I can’t be a NUN These People dont even have Sex” I randomly quote this, just make to make myself laugh or Sister Act 2- the Mary had a little Lamb Scene, with Maria. Maybe where Maria came from Mary had Dog or Kitty Cat or a Little Bald headed brother named Bob😂 I remember both of those movies, most of the lines word for word 😂

My favorite is Sister Act 2. I love the students' song @ the end of the movie. I've recorded it & when I'm in a low place, I play it & oh how my mood changes as I praise the Lord!❤
A thing I really love about Whoopi is her humility, and the fact that she never forgets who helped her on her way in her career. You see it in the way she talks about Mike Nichols, Stephen Spielberg, Billy Crystal, and Robin Williams, among others. She gives people their flowers. I love that.

The Color Purple (1985) The film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Goldberg, Best Supporting Actress for both Avery and Winfrey, and Best Adapted Screenplay, but did not achieve a single win. It also received four Golden Globe Award nominations, with Goldberg winning Best Actress in a Drama.

Time has NOT been kind to Out of Africa, and rightly so. Despite its beautiful setting, it’s something of an overlong slog and believe The Color Purple should have won. That said, while Whoopi was EXCEPTIONAL, deserved her nomination and all the praise, I do believe it is unfair to suggest she was unfairly robbed of her statue as people have forgotten that Geraldine Page gave an absolute tour de force in The Trip to Bountiful. 🙏🏻

I loved her in movies. Not so much on the view but I do respect her opinions even though I may not always agree with them.

When The View had a special episode about mentors a few years ago and everyone brought on the person who encouraged them and I remembered Whoopi interviewed director Mike Nichols ❤️🙏🏼

Whoopi is looking really glamorous these days and she deserves the 👏👏👏
On Oscar night 1991 I stayed up all night in the UK to watch her with my fingers crossed. To win in competition against 4 other phenomenally talented nominees in the year’s groundbreaking movies - Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas), Mary McDonnell (Dances with Wolves), Diane Ladd (Wild at Heart) & Annette Bening (Grifters) must have been incredibly satisfying. It was one of the most well deserved wins in Oscar history, Whoopi. Those were the days.

Wow I truly loved Whoppi reaction when she won her Oscar which she was so worthy of.
You can tell the mark or a GREAT actor by the impact on any scene. I saw Whoopi on an episode of SVU, and all you’ll remember after the scene on the stand is WHOOPI’s performance. She’s a legend and deserve all the things! And the Color Purple is my favorite movie🥰I love you Whoopi
Love you and remember watching your stand up as a child and believe you are the greatest.. congratulations on being the best
Whoopi is an inspiration not just in America but also all around the world, yet she is so humble and down to earth and just cool and calm.
One of my favorite aunties, love Whoopi.
Lovely Whoopi Goldberg🌹 I love you and thank goodness for believing in your mother. You are the best🥇👏❤️

I just ordered this on Amazon, the book and Audible💜
Just seen show recently ☺️😘💖👍🙏Thank you☺️😘All Amen🙏💖
I love Whoopi, not because of the years of entertainment she has given us, but for her ability to own up to her mistakes. There's a lot of people that say something utterly stupid and then do an apology, but it's clear that they don't really mean it, if they even do an apology at all. Whoopi isn't afraid to say she messed up and she puts meaning behind her apology.
We love whoopi goldberg
She really should have won for the color purple.
I agree Whoopi!
I've been watching joy for almost 20 years on the show special lady ❤❤❤
She was so great in Ghost & also in The Color Purple!
Whoopi should be given another Oscar, for best comedy. :)
Patrick and Whoopi was so good together in that movie
I loooooooove that movie & she made it Great! Demi was dope too.
Whoopi I have always been a fan of yours from day one.When you became an EGOT I wasn't suprised. I can relate to the speech thing as a kid because somewhere inside of you you knew this would happen. I was one of those kids who used to watch all the awards shows and would say out loud every time I will be on tv one day. Welpt guess what. I'm not famous nor do I want to be famous but that actually happened to me when my music career took off in the late 80's. Never stop believeing in yourself no matter how young or how old you are. I'm getting ready to start my next chapter and its gonna be a really good one. Thank you for being one of my main inspirations. I will be getting your book. You have been thru so many trials and girl you just rose up and transformed like Scorpio's do we are the transformers of the zodiac. I'm always looking forward to more from you. Side note girl who ever is doing those loc hairstyles for you please hold on to them cause you looked good before but this is next level. Your hairstylist is very very talented. Keep on keepin on..... Love & Light
Molly…you in danger girl. Love her!
I Loved this segment
For some reason I always thinking that i will be weaning an Ocar but I'm not an actor not even close. Job well done Whoopi ❤❤❤
she deserved many oscars one for Colour purple was it but then she came back and earned it for GHOST! What an accomplishment W :) It is very hard work agree with her about OSCARS!

Living legend!
She’s was great in Sister Act. And she should have won an Oscar for the Color Purple. Very intelligent actress. And I like her opinions. She’s a voice of reason at this time of insanity.
So many express their appreciation of Whoopi’s impact to their careers. Much happens behind the scenes. Sometimes it’s some small action. It’s sad to read such bitterness.
Hope for Sister Act 3
She Is Still So Beautiful Too❤
