HOLLYWOOD - Academy Awards producer Gil Cates has personally apologized for omitting Whoopi Goldberg from an Oscars montage of magical moments that aired during the telecast of Sunday's ceremony.

The actress, who has twice hosted the Oscars and is a previous Best Supporting Actress winner, fought back tears as she spoke of her disappointment during her morning TV show The View on Monday.

And her upset has prompted producer Cates to say sorry.

He tells People magazine, "No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out. I'm going to call her and tell her that... It was an absolute oversight."
