The Best and the Worst Oscar Hosts (Slideshow)

8. Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg definitely deserves some acclaim. As the first woman, first African American, and first Oscar-winner to ever host the show on her own, Goldberg was always an enjoyable emcee for her classy humor and hilarious costume changes. One of Goldberg’s most memorable moments was during the 1999 ceremony when she emerged on stage in full Queen Elizabeth I attire with powered face, neck ruff, and all. (Photo by Getty Images)
