Oprah was ROBBED of that Supporting Actress Emmy in 1986, so this Oscar is long overdue. And while I applaud her charitable efforts, I am tired of everyone kissing her NON-royal booty. Oprah Winfrey ain't GOD, folks.

Transparent much AMPS? Well at least this will be a superior farewell gift than that bootleg looking second Lifetime Achievement award the Daytime Emmys gave her.

Now all she has to do is make her stage debut and do a voice recording for a book and she'll EGOT.

THIS! Is it bad that I want another Whitney Houston story just for the imagery of her spot on impression?

And also honorable mention to Maya Rudolph for her funny in her own right impressions of Oprah & Whitney.

East.west...golf clap...I love this particular parody because it speaks some truth. Towards the end of Oprah show's run it really was a bunch of losers trying to score a paycheck off not only Oprah but the audience.
