00:11 over the actress and director not being nominated for Best Leading Actress and Best Director,
00:15 respectively. However, Goldberg and EGOT winner said on Wednesday's episode of The View,
00:20 "Here's the deal. Everybody doesn't win. They're not snubs. And that's what I want to sort of point out."
00:25 "It's not the elites, it's the entire family of the Academy Awards who vote for Best Picture
00:33 nominations, okay? We all vote for Best Picture, everybody. So there are seven to ten nominations
00:41 that happen. And you don't get everything that you want to get."
00:44 Co-host Sarah Haines also shared her thoughts, asking, "When does it become a snub?"
00:48 "That assumes that someone else shouldn't be in there,
00:50 because you have five people. Everyone below the five is a snub."
00:54 Goldberg, who previously won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 1990's Ghost,
01:00 said, "There are no snubs, and that's what you have to keep in mind."
