The Oscars continues to be a very hot topic. Whoopi Goldberg lends her voice to the ongoing tumult. On the set of "The View," she showed her complete disagreement with Spike Lee and Jada Pinkest Smith. To her, boycotting the Oscars is not a wise move for black actors.

Lee and Smith have previously urged all black artists invited to the Academy Awards Night not to attend.

Goldberg seems to be playing a balancing act when she slammed the call for Oscar boycott. She said on the her TV talk show "The View" that movie makers could be at fault since there is lack of diversity in most films Hollywood turns out.

Candae Cameron Bure walked out of the set after a break. But Goldberg said it's not because of her rant. Bure was sick, according to Goldberg.

The TV host has earned Oscar nominations at least two times. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1980 movie "Ghost." Her other nomination was for best actress in the 1985 movie "The Color Purple." 

She aired her view on the talk show by asking: "Why is this a conversation that we only have once a year?" Every year we get all fired up and the rest of the year nobody says anything."

Goldberg clearly said that this call for boycott has placed black comedian Chris Rock in a very difficult position. She added that she makes movies for a living, and that the ones nominating are not really pro-white.

But a report from the Los Angeles Times appears to contradict Goldberg's assessment.  This report revealed that the Academy is composed of 93 percent white members. Interestingly, 76 percent of the members are of the male specie.

Goldberg believes that those who make movies are at fault because of the concept that black movies don't make money.  Although she said she is not boycotting this year's Oscars night, she says she is still 'pissed off' by the ongoing controversy.
