Teen solves centuries-old math problem
NEW YORK, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- ABC's Barbara Walters said in New York Monday the upcoming 29th edition of her Oscar special will be her last.
"I think I'm sick of them," the Los Angeles Times quoted Walters, 80, as saying on her daytime chat show "The View." "I feel I've been there, done that. Twenty-nine years is enough ... You can switch the format a little bit and I love the fact that we have these stars (Sandra Bullock and Mo'Nique) and they're both nominated. ... I felt it was enough."
"View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg, an Academy Award winner who appeared on one of Walters' previous Oscar specials, remarked: "It is one of those things that you did look forward to and you hoped to get that phone call if you were a nominee ... . The industry will be slightly less because you're not doing it. I will just say that. I'm glad I got in when the getting was good."
Walters' Oscar special airs annually on ABC before the Academy Awards presentation begins. This year's program is to be broadcast March 7.
