Whoopi Goldberg flaunted her 100-lb weight loss at the 97th Annual Academy Awards, which took place at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 2nd.
The 69-year-old EGOT winner, who won the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ Academy Award for her role in Ghost back in 1990, was one of the presenters of the evening. And although she was wearing quite a voluminous dress on the red carpet and on the stage, her super-impressive weight loss was hard to ignore.

The Color Purple alum donned a shiny navy blue off-the-shoulder dress for the star-studded event, featuring a figure-hugging waist juxtaposed with a voluminous skirt. She accessorized with dazzling earrings and a matching necklace for maximum wow factor.
The Sister Act actress may regularly cause controversy with the things she says on The View, but one thing fans have praised her for is her honesty regarding her 100-lb weight loss.
The Long Walk Home alum has made no secret of the fact that she used weight loss medication Mounjaro to help her shift the pounds, which is very refreshing considering how many other celebs who have slimmed down are keeping their weight loss secrets very close to their chests.
Whoopi discussed her weight loss on a past episode of The View. Her guest Jim Gaffigan candidly said: "I have gotten skinny. And it's none of my own willpower. It's a shot in the stomach. That works wonders. I don't know why people are afraid to admit it."
Goldberg agreed, before going on to admit that she tells "everybody" that she takes Mounjaro.

The Till actress previously praised the weight loss injection during an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show in May last year. Goldberg told the "Since U Been Gone" singer at the time: "I am doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help, and it's been really good for me."
The Nobody's Fool actress went on to say that she lost the weight of "almost two people" since taking the medication, adding: "I say it all the time. Because you can't go from close to 300 pounds without someone saying, 'OK, what happened?' 'Cause you know I didn't go to the gym!"
