The 52-year-old Goldberg has received two Oscar nominations, winning for her role as Oda Mae Brown in 1990's "Ghost." She hosted the event in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2002. She did, however, appear as an Oscar winner in a separate montage Sunday night. Goldberg appeared stumped that the academy would leave her out of the one clip and repeat host Steve Martin. "Maybe they accidentally lost a clip of you hosting ... But I think it's wrong," Ellisabeth Hasselbeck said. Joy Behar said "being slighted is never fun." Sherri Shepherd wondered if Goldberg had made someone mad. "Undoubtedly," Goldberg said, smiling. "Undoubtedly I (bleeped) somebody off yet again. You know what, I don't — I don't know." "Hey, we think you're a great host," reassured Barbara Walters, the creator of the ABC chatfest. ASSSOCIATED PRESS "I think we should do our own montage of you to make up for it," Hasselbeck said. Whoopi Goldberg expressed disappointment for not appearing in the montage of Academy Award hosts, which was shown Sunday. HOROSCOPES 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6 Careful computation is required, and a good erase. There may be a few items you'll have to take away from your list. Set priori- ties, so you can maintain hope you'll get them later. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 Today is an 8 Set up your team to win. Make sure they know what needs to be done. Provide constant encouragement; this isn't going to be easy. Gemini (May 21-June 21) You're into the difficult part. Your goal seems impossible. Don't lose faith and toss it out, make it into smaller chunks. Get there one step at a time. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8 You're good at telling the difference between fact and fantasy. You may also find a few superfluous things you could do without. Exercise good judgment. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8 Jointly held finances are a hot topic now. This includes the household money, loans and investments. Don't even mention speculation. Don't risk security. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6 Somebody can find disagreement with just about everything that's said. Don't get into the middle of the conflict unless you must, to keep the peace. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6 Not a good day to gamble. Don't even kid around. The odds are too high you'd trip over your own feet and hurt yourself. Watch where you're going. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 Taking a little risk seems to be a worthwhile endeavor. It isn't, though. Wagers you make now are more likely to go the other way. Better, zip your lip. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 Beware of false friends who are after your money. They may try to sell you something you don't need. Don't take their word for it; do your own research. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 5 It's good to make long lists. You're still in control, how- ever. Situations change. You can scratch things off without ever achieving them. They're your lists. Not a good time to offer fanciful suggestions. Keep your dreams to yourself, for now. Keep working the job and you'll get there, eventually. Today is an 8 Expand your search, but keep private what you're actually finding. You don't want to encourage a lot of competition. Hold onto your advantage.
