Whoopi Goldberg, hosting her fourth Oscar show, made a grand entrance from the ceiling. Decked out in a peacock-like feathered outfit with a gold top hat, she was lowered on a trapeze to the theater floor in a spoof of Moulin Rouge."I am the original sexy beast," she said.Goldberg had been criticized for past Oscar shows for some of her risque jokes and had sworn she would never do another show. But after Sept. 11, she changed her mind.While the show did strike a serious tone at times, Goldberg kept things moving along, and still found the opportunity to get a bit racy. "Oscar is the only 74-year-old man in Hollywood who doesn't need Viagra to last three hours," she joked.Still, there were several tributes to those who suffered in the Sept. 11 attacks. Tom Cruise introduced the first of several taped segments commemorating America's love affair with the silver screen, asking if movies have lost their relevance in a time of war.
